Crack In Airplane Window-Unbelievable
This is scary for anyone who travels frequently by plane!!!! Actual crack in a DC-9 window! Fliers beware of the sub standard maintenance on the airplanes that you fly on.
This is an actual crack that was found in the window frame on a DC-9. I'll definitely think twice before flying US Air.

MAYBE BARRIE WILL GIVE US THE WWTP POOP TODAY
The budget media event that Barrie Tilghman is doing this afternoon is a perfect time for her to give us that now long overdue briefing that Barrie promised when the WWTP fiasco became public. This is from WMDT's report by Keira Benson on March 23:
Salisbury Mayor Barrie Tilghman held a press conference on the issues at the plant Monday after she says information was leaked to the media. She says it was confidential because there could be litigation pending and she doesn't want to jeopardize it.
Tilghman says, "What we were doing was to try and get the consultant in here to give us a better idea of what was going on . . . brief the Council and the first week in April hopefully talk to the public about this."

A Final Note On "Tea Bagging"
Here is one final note on the very humorous side of this whole thing. If you have never heard the term "teabagging" before then consider yourself lucky. I know the slang definition has been around since I was little and everytime I hear someone say it in relation to the "Tea Parties" it just conjures up some pretty silly images.
If you are a diehard "tea partyist" you might not want to follow this link because ignorance is afterall bliss. But if not, go ahead and see what the rest of us are laughing about.

HERE'S INSIDE POOP ON SALISBURY"S WWTP
Joe:
"I recently spoke with someone who is a professional engineer and teaches about sewage treatment at a major university. I mentioned the recent disclosure about the problems with Salisbury’s new WWTP, and he was interested when I told him that it was designed by O’Brien & Gere and sent the press release you posted. He has sent the attached material about the WWTP and that firm, which is continuing to tout the plant on its website. Apparently O&G got a patent on the system, and the City paid for most of the cost to get it.
My contact feels that the system is a hybrid that could be loaded with problems. Also he wonders if the City has waived its rights to recover the cost of making it operational that could be millions of dollars.
He also thinks that the use of “sugar water” – mentioned in the article "Salisbury WWTP" -- may be a cause of much of the problem. Also, the system may operate better in the summer than in the winter due to higher ambient temperature and the treatment processes that are involved."
This is an unbelievable find! It should also make the Mayor's Press Conference quite interesting today. They have clammed up on this issue and we always knew there was something highly suspicious about this WWTP.
Mayor Tilghman is exactly what I claimed she was 4 years ago.
Dave Suiter Gives Us An Update
Quick update,
Stopped in Gardner,KS for night. 9 hours on the road!!!
Left Onley,IL this AM. Cloudy with north wind (15-25) so temp stayed around 43 on bikes thermometer.
Notice how narrow Old 50 is. Did heel and toe across and looks to be 16' wide. I remember riding in the truck with my Dad on old US6 back in late 40s early 50s. It was so narrow that we had to slow and move right to get past a truck coming the other way.
In my last I mentioned something about seeing an eagle fly. Sure enough, looked up and saw this guy circle and land. Slammed on the brakes and went back to get a pic. Am I getting the eagle eye??
Sun finally broke through near Sedalia, MO. Temp went up 10 degrees. Great ride through central MO.
Side trip to Desoto, MO to see guy I got my 62 Pontiac from. He still has his 62 Bonne convert!!
Looks like winter warning for SE Colorado. Nuts!!!!!!!

Winner for Best License Plate Award
Limited Edition Centennial Plate Announced as Winner for Best License Plate Award
Special Recognition for the First Plate to Ever Honor the History of License Plates
Dover -- It's Official! After a nationwide vote of the Automobile License Plate Collectors Association (ALPCA), Delaware's Limited Edition Centennial License Plate has won the Best License Plate of the Year Award. Other finalists for the award were Alaska, Minnesota, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Wyoming.
The black onyx & heritage gold colored plate - which honors the 100th anniversary of the license plate in Delaware - was selected for its combination of attractiveness and legibility of design. This is the first time in the nearly 40 year history of the program that Delaware has won the award.
Governor Jack Markell was genuinely excited when he stated, "It took one hundred years to be able to release the Delaware Centennial License Plate. Clearly, its selection as plate of the year means it is making the most of its limited run. Our DelDOT and Division of Motor Vehicles team did a great job designing and promoting the plate. I look forward to them winning again in 2059 for its Sesquicentennial run."
"We're thrilled to announce that Delaware has the nation's best license plate design this year," said ALPCA President Jeff Francis. "With so many states opting for elaborate graphics," said Mr. Francis, "it's refreshing to see a distinctive design that is still easy to read by law enforcement."
Since the Centennial Plate was introduced last fall, thousands of Delaware motorists have purchased one for their vehicle. The unique plate design is a celebration of 100 years since the first state-issued license plate was produced in 1909. Delaware is the first state ever to produce a commemorative license plate of this kind. Several other "firsts" for the awarding winning plate include being the first fully embossed license plate with raised letters and numbers in Delaware since 1941, as well as being the first optional license plate in the world where the validation sticker colors were designed to match the colors of the plate itself.
Centennial Plates may be displayed on all registered Delaware vehicles except motorcycles, mopeds, and IRP apportioned vehicles. Centennial Plate numbering matches the plate number currently assigned to the registered vehicle. All numerical plates and those with prefixes PC, RV, FT, C, CL, T, and D, as well as all vanity plates are permitted. Available for purchase for $100 through December 31, 2009, a Centennial Plate order can be placed with a credit card online at www.dmv.de.gov. Customers may also visit any DMV office, or call (302) 744-2503.
Since 1970, ALPCA has sponsored the annual Best License Plate Award program. Founded in 1954, ALPCA has over 3,500 members worldwide, and is the world's oldest and largest non-profit organization devoted to researching, collecting, and promoting license plates.

Is It True, Sunday's Paper Was Thinnest Ever?
I received several calls on Sunday and Monday saying they had never seen such a small Sunday Daily Times Newspaper. One person even said they printed the Comics in the paper itself because there were next to no sale inserts.If this is the case, these guys are failing fast. To those of you who are still getting a subscription to the paper, let us know what you thought of the Sunday paper.
DO YOU DENOUNCE THE BLOGS?
More than a month ago I stood in front of the Mayor and City Council on PAC 14 and asked Mr. Comegys if he still denounced the Blogs? Louise Smith immediately intercepted my question and demanded that Gary Comegys NOT answer that question. I immediately said, OK then Louise, let me change my question. I then asked to hear from each and every City Council Member if they denounced the Blogs. Louise replied, we'll get back to you on that question Mr. Albero.
Not only has it been more than 40 days, I made contact with some Council Members and asked if they had been directed to respond to that question and they said, NO. I repeated what I said and added, did Lore' Chambers or anyone else ask you to respond to that question, NO.
The reason I had asked was because we have information tying Louise Smith, Shanie Shields, Gary Comegys and Chief Webster to Jonathan Taylor and since the Mayor's own Son runs his own Blog, yet she denounces all Blogs, we wanted a direct answer to show these people were all tied to the nastiest Blogger known to mankind.
They refuse to answer this question because they know we have evidence tying them to this Blogger and if they simply don't answer they simply won't be lying. They used another Blogger for their smear campaign during the election and the funniest part about it is, the majority of the Citizens that voted clearly told us, they do NOT believe Gary Comegys by a long shot. They do NOT believe Barrie Tilghman and from the looks of the comments seen here recently on this Blog the Citizens don't trust Chief Webster either.
That being said, Hosting a Blog that attacks people like Debbie Campbell, Jim Ireton, Cynthia Polk, to me, seems to be a pretty stupid way to run a Blog in the hopes of expanding your readership. The only answer to that is, they want to continue a smear campaign even though the Citizens have spoken.
If anyone thought the Tilghman Administration was going away, they're sadly mistaken. In fact, they're mad and they're going to attempt to make the next 4 years a miserable 4 years. If Shanie Shields holds on to win and Mayor Ireton presents items for the agenda in which Barrie doesn't want moves through, they'll simply vote 3-2 and reject anything and everything they so choose.
While "Help Is On The Way" and the Citizens voted for change, the games may be just beginning. Strap on your seat belts Folks because things are going to get very interesting. They didn't denounce the Blogs because they helped create a new one.
