Was it really that crowded?
Had the rare occasion to be out on "Black Friday"...didn't see much of crowds out my ways. Fact is I've seen busier Saturday mornings at Owings Mills Mall...just an observation
check out the new Coen brothers flick No Country for Old Men based on a Cormac McCarthy novel...4 Melvins...if you can go the violence or as me droogie would say - real horrorshow stuff.
Now to the really real stuff - Bawlmer, Murderland finally began honoring the latest contract with the boys in blue...let's see old contract expired 7/1/07...new contract finally approved late October 2007 and the "raise" makes it in mid Nov...ohhhhhhhhhhh and the back pay....hummmmph...probably see it at year's end tacked on to a payroll check so that more tax bucks can be yanked out...is it any wonder the younger guys and gals are leaving for other agencies and the older folks are back to pullin' the plug... so many leaving without collecting that "DROP" or worrying about retirement percentages...s'pose it might be attributed to lack of trust with the powers that be and the lack of "back up" by the powers that be and well Bawlmer is just plain dangerous...check out the headlines - didn't an elderly gent just get shot and robbed while washing his car in the alley behind his home?
The Engineers of Poly had a wonderful football season. The City was well represented in the football championships this year. Oh so folks before we start up that ole dirge about how the kids got nothing to do after school that's why they get guns and rob folks, shoot folks and sell drugs. NAHHHHHHHH! Those kids choose to do that stuff. There are a lot of things for young folks to do after school...ummm...homework, get a part time job, basketball / football/ baseball leagues, libraries - yeah read a freakin' book. The young men that played on these Baltimore City Public School football teams - Poly, City, Edmondson, Dunbar are fine examples of what doing the right thing can net you. Congrats!
Stankass out..
