As a mobility challenged 75 y/o I think it's time for them to go.   I would like to park closer to my destination.

I’d rather see more designated blue parking spots on Maplewood Ave (and the platforms made accessible, as promised)

I think it makes the village more attractive and lively; most people should be able to park elsewhere and walk a couple of blocks.

many of the branch covidians still can’t bring themselves stop wearing face rags or to eat inside.  It’s a psychosis.

Just curious Mr. Gumble. Do you ever show empathy to any facet/person/situation in your life? I sure hope so.

The township promised that the new streeteries would be accessible to those with mobility challenges.  These are not.  I spoke with a TC member who said that DPW would be able to make them accessible for next year.  Hoping that is the case.  

I just got back from a place where sections of some streets were pedestrian malls with lots of dining opportunities.  It was rather civilized.

To ask it another way: You wouldn’t make each and every one of those concessions, if you had to, in order to save all the lives that have been lost on both sides of the war?

Would you be OK with Russia or China overthrowing our government and installing a puppet?  Do you think it we should just be passive and accept that because someone might get hurt?  How would you feel if your country was taken over for the benefit of another country?

I remember when people thought Trump was a Russian puppet and they were pretty pissed off.  

Absolutely not.  If Russia or China attempted a coup using NGOs and their intelligence agencies, I think the only rational defense would be to invade Canada.

got the QB. It's been a good week :-)

Meanwhile, back in another NYC courtroom, this is happening…

Gold bars were found, concealed into the lining of his suits — really?!

Let everyone know when you find a defense of Menendez in his current legal difficulties by a poster on MOL, or a local Democratic politician, or a NJ Democratic politician, or a national Democratic politician.

I did. He's a liar and those who believe him are dupes. Take, for instance, where he talks about WWII -- he conveniently skips over the fact that the war began, not with Germany attacking the USSR, but with the USSR and Germany allied and jointly attacking Poland. In the context of Ukraine, his talking about millions killed very pointedly skips over the millions killed by the USSR.

His speech is full of similar dishonest omissions and misdirections. It's a speech that relies on his audience's ignorance and credulity.
