Please Help These Kittens!
A friend rescued these cats from the dump where they had been abandoned. They are very people-friendly. 2 females, one male. Looking for placements in nice homes. Anyone interested should please contact gail.pearl@ins.com
Gail is even willing to pay for their first shots but everyone needs to respond quickly because Gail is on vacation until Sunday and may have to leave these animals behind.
Thanks Gail and good luck!
RED NET ALERT!!!!!!!
The Salisbury City Council has dropped the ordinance regarding pet limits from consideration! The council will no longer be hearing the changes to the ordinance as proposed by Chief Webster but will consider the issue at a later date only if the police dept considers using the nuisance laws as their main focus of attack in place of the limit on pets within the city.
Please be on the lookout for a woman driving a white Volvo Station Wagon pouting and crying and possibly drinking heavy and goes by the name B. Tilghman.
Today's Wildlife Photo
I have some serious competition folks! This photo came to me today from a local resident who wants to remain anonymous. I know I'd want credit for a picture like this but what can I say? Please keep your pictures coming in and if you too would like to remain anonymous I'd be happy to take credit for shots like this. Just kidding, send those pictures folks, this is great!
A Strategically Mastered Plan
I have received numerous e-mail messages from people concerning the fact that the Salisbury Zoo spent some $50,000.00 on a Master Plan. These funds were donated by the Hazel Family and the end result was the Zoo needed to come up with $18,200,000.00 to fulfill this dream. What you must keep in mind is the fact that these figures were just a guestimate and Jim Rapp never received hard figures as to what the thing might truly cost. To top that off, these were figures from years ago before gas prices went through the roof and similar to the Fire Department, the Zoo's figures would almost double and the cost today and would be somewhere around $34,000,000.00.
However, if you people were upset at the $50,000.00 spent on this Master Plan, how about the $65,000.00 the City just put into the Budget for the Zoo solely for a building the AZA is demanding be put in the Zoo that was NOT included in the original Master Plan. In one of the Zoo Commission Meetings Ron Alessi and Jim Rapp stated the building would cost some $2,000,000.00 alone to build and the $65,000.00 the City just put into the Zoo's budget for just this building was for, are you ready, PLANS for the $2,000,000.00 building!
That's right Taxpayers, you just forked up $65,000.00 just for plans for a building I can guarantee some other Zoo across America has that is an AZA Zoo as well. Nope, not Barrie Tilghman, Ron Alessi and Jim Rapp! They want their own designs! You'll pay $65,000.00 for them too! So you pay dues by the thousands each year into the AZA and they demand structures be built and the City agrees, (which was a smart move anyway by the AZA) and I guess Ron Alessi, (the man who thinks he own a construction company) comes up with a $65,000.00 figure to design a building?
The Master Plan is not construction designs. It's an idea and each building they come up with will I guess cost some $65,000.00 to design each and in my opinion I'd like to know where they came up with the $18,200,000.00 figure to start with? Could it have been a Ron Alessi figure? You know, the guy who again thinks he owns a construction company? Will it be his firm designing the plans and or subbing the plans out so he can pay back debts?
If I were a taxpayer in Salisbury I'd start asking some serious questions and get documented proof of the answers because I wouldn't trust these people as far as I could throw them.
God Bless America
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag, of the United States of America and to the republic, for which it stands, one nation, Under God, indivisible, with liberty and justicefor all.
These photos were just passed on to me moments ago by an avid reader of this Blog Site. They were taken this past Tuesday evening of the Iwo Jima memorial in Arlington NationalCemetery.
I was just taken back by the the corner of the memorial, the monument and the Capital building all together. Thanks for sharing and may God Bless our Armed Forces.
Harbor Point Homes For Sale
We're making dreams come true right here in Salisbury. That's right folks, if you've ever dreamed of owning water front property and or water view property, Harbor Point is that last place you'll ever need to look. We've got water and sewer right at your fingertips with more pressure than anywhere else in the City.
No more odors of chicken shit in the fields. We deliver pure human feces in the air tucked away in a secret field even the MDE wasn't aware of. Built some 30 feet higher than the property below, the City made sure they secured this property with lamp posts, blacktop and concrete as well as numerous other fillers even the MDE isn't aware of yet. The Mayor is so certain this sludge pit shown above is so healthy for the community and the environment, she's even willing to fight the MDE in Court to assure the liner is not leaking right into your front yards! I know I'm feeling MUCH safer now, how about you?
Yeah, for a mere million dollars you too can be a part of this exclusive community guaranteed to never gain value and always a reputation anyone and everyone will never forget. Buy in now and you too can be a part of a class action lawsuit against the City whereas those current owners could possibly win millions, IF you live to see the settlement date?
I know I'd love to see the Larson Family move to Harbor Point and get the City's version of this fine neighborhood, wouldn't you? Maybe Hadley can find some time to create his own version of "A Wonderful Day In The Neighborhood, Harbor Point."
Coming Soon to Harbor Point, SECURITY FENCES! That's right, feel more secure knowing the City will barbed wire a security fence surrounding this property in order to assure none of you can access this property to police what they're doing. After all, they've gotten away with illegal activities there for some 20 years now and they certainly want to make sure no one gets hurt on City land. After all, the MDE did such a fine job investigating these grounds over all these 20 years making sure we were all safe and secure, right? Ahhhhhhh, I feel so much better now.
The future joke will no longer be, I've got swamp land in Florida. It will be, I've got sludge land in Salisbury, MD., Harbor Point to be exact.
