OUR CITY & much more!

      HI ALL- AS I WAS READING THIS MORNINGS PAPER- I SAW THE WORDS MILLION- BILLION & TRILLION. DOLLARS. TO THIS BLOGGER THEY ALL MEAN A LOT OF MONEY$ THE WORD BILLION WAS BECOMING QUITE COMMON IN BUDGETS & SPENDING-BUT QUICKLY- TRILLION CAME TO THE FOREFRONT WITH STIMULUS PAYMENTS & FEDERAL BUDGET TALK!   DID YOU KNOW? A TRILLION IS 1 MILLION-MILLION!!!

        CASH 4 GOLD!

DOES THIS SOUND FAMILIAR? THIS AD WAS FEATURED ON THE SUPER BOWL WHERE ADS COST MILLIONS FOR 20 SECONDS. HERE IS HOW IT WORKS-PUT YOUR GOLG RINGS- WATCHES-ETC IN AN ENVELOPE-SEND IT TO CASH 4 GOLD. THEY WILL SEND YOU A CHECK FOR THE AMOUNT THEY DETERMINE IT IS WORTH. "DUH"   YES IT IS A RIP OFF AS THE BETTER BUSINESS BUREAU RATES THIS COMPANY A D -.

    THIS BLOGGER RECENTLY ATTENDED A FORMAL RETIREMENT CEREMONY OF POLICE CAPT. WARREN ENDTOFF. IT WAS BOTH FORMAL & LIGHT AS MANY INTERESTING STORIES WERE SHARED. IT WAS EASY TO SEE HOW WARREN WAS RESPECTED ON THE DEPT. SOUND JUDGEMENT-DILLIGENT-HARDWORKING WAS THE THEME THAT CAME OUT AS WARREN BECAME A CAPTAIN. THIS BLOGGER CAME AWAY KNOWING THAT WARREN HAD SET A HIGH STANDARD FOR COMPETENCE.THANKS -WARREN FOR YOUR APPROX. 30 YEARS OF SERVICE &  " THE BEST IN RETIREMENT"!

    THE DECISION TO HAVE ONE OR 2 HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUSES  WILL BE A TOUGH CALL IN THE FUTURE. THIS BLOGGER LIKES THE 1 HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS FOR WHOLE CITY. MUSKEGO HIGH SCHOOL IS THE BEST COMPARISON I CAN MAKE. I HAVE TO ADMIT OAK CREEK DOES NOT HAVE THE SAME ACREAGE AVAILABLE AT CURRENT SITE!

      THE NEW PRESIDENT WANTS TO CLOSE GITMO.  THESE DETAINEES ARE NOT "BOY SCOUTS"THEY EARNED THEIR WAY IN GITMO. PLEASE DON'T RELEASE 9-11 PLOTTERS-"PLEASE"!
