see the revenue flow

the New Hampshire House has voted and to take a 3.7 million dollar bribe I is now official we in the Granite state are too stupid to decide for ourselves weather to buckle up or not. If passed in the senate we will join 25 other states that think their residents are stupid and deserve to be ticketed as a primary offense for not buckling up.

While not buckling up is dumb I imagine we will need the law for all the accidents caused by rubber-necking

Let freedom ring

sawtooth construction

PaulofNH — Mon, 24 Nov 2008 13:25:00 GMT

There maybe a dusting of snow on the ground and that ground maybe frozen but construction goes on in Claremont.

A thirty yard section of Main Street between the Stone Arch Bakery and Leo's Market will be closed for about six weeks while the prefab part to the Sawtooth garage are put into place.

You can sit in the bakery have a cup of coffee and a donut not imported from Massachusetts while you watch. First things first they have to bring in a crane to put together the carne that will put the garage together.

Just around the corner on Water Street the Mill project is moving along a source tells me that about half a million dollars of windows will be going into the three mills.

You can walk down by the site of the Mill being turned into a Common Man Restaurant, walk over the bridge to the City Office Building on North Street (aka Visitor Center). I could direct you to it but after six years we finally have singage approved and on the way.

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.

use more gas

PaulofNH — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 11:41:00 GMT

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?
