thers is a new potetial revenue stream for the state of New Hampshire a drive thru tax.

As I was standing in line at Dunkies the other day it dawned on me.  The drive thru line smaked around the building and out on to Wasnington street.  Why not a drive thru fee.  50cents per order.

I suggest this for three reasons.  First it will get some of us off our fat duffs, out of the car and into the fresh air.  Imagine the calories waddled off on the stroll into the coffe shop, bank, resturant Pharmacy etc.

Second by shutting off the car it will save energy.  Yes if you have to idle more than thirty seconds it saves fuel to shut the car off and turn it back on.  Get ecersise and save money.

 third revenue first for the state but how about 10 cents of it going to the host community.

Id it the trans fat or the we are fat.  Get in line say hi to your neighbor

October 6 is the Big weekend

Here it Boys and Girls the big folliage weekend whats gooing on well its the Book and Bake sale over at the Fiske Free Library.  The Chille cook off and apple pie tasting has moved over to Pleasant Street.  That part of routes 12 and 11 will be closed for the event so you will have to swing over by the library.  There is a 5 k road race and an old auto show contact the chamber for specifics.

The Fiske Free libraray will be having another annual Book and Bake Sale October 6  9-2 in the library and on the lawn, if the weather cooperates

The book and bake sale has gone on for many years spreading from the library to the now closed conference center.  Springing from it is the Chilli Cook Off, that has moved on to Pleasant street.

Give a home to a old book, eat a cookie, help build the Book endowment at the Fiske Free Library.

Summer's almost gone, Teachers are already back in the Classrooms some classes start next week but in between.... 

Saturday August 8 10-2 Pleasant street (routes 12) in the downtown will be closed for the fifty Back to School Festival.  "Blast off to a New Year"  will be the theme.

Rain or shine

Rember only 4 months to Christmas 

That free federal money sure does come with strings attached. 

New linage for parking spaces has done away with parking.  There used to be two spaces in front of the Fiske Free Library now ther is one.  The spaces are laso further back from the cross walks.  Less parking more driving.  But maybe more walking.

There used to be right turn lanes at Drapers corners first the one from the north dissapeared with the new linage, Now the North has lost its turn lane.  Remember when the Know it all Federal government made all the states have a right on red to save gas.  Well now with no turn lanes  we can waiste $100 per barrel gas. 

If the newly designed intersection of Broad and Water streets is the worst of its class (number of accidents per amount of traffic) why are they paving (filling in ) around the traffic island.  Is it so skateboarders heading to the proposed skate park can have a jump.  there is no cross walk but it could be for handicap accessability?

Thanks for adding and reasearch.

Liz (Holl) Michalenoick, Kristel Paronto, Lisa Farwell and Lacie Kingsbury will be doing a sixty mile three day fund raiser for brest cancer  research.  Don't know why they still think people are so dumb that they are not aware of brest cancer.  Sad how women identify themselves with their brests.
