Together again...

 

If you said, "Buck Owens, 1964," you get 20 bonus points.  If you said, "Janet Jackson, 1997," you get 20 bonus points.  If you said both of those, you get an additional 50 bonus points for having eclectic musical trivia knowledge.

I got together with Mark, Podge, and Ron today, to rehearse for a gig we have next week.  It's been quite a while since Mark and I got together - he and Cindy have been off gallivanting around the Northeast, from Maine to New York City for the last month or so.  And, good for them!

I had to leave a bit earlier than usual to get home in time to have supper and then get to a community meeting being held by our District 7 and 8 City Council members at the library near us.  That ran a couple hours.  Hoping to see if there was any funding from the City (of Phoenix) to help pay for the damage in our community caused by the lack of drainage maintenance by the City.  Nope... but, "We'll check into that maintenance situation."  The two Council members, and representatives from the Police, Parks, Commercial Development Department, an agency representing homeless concerns, and others, were there to say what they've been doing and answer questions.  Our community was well represented by the questions submitted.

Not sure anything definitive was answered, but it was interesting to find out that this part of town is soon going to "break ground" on a new Fire Station and Police Sub-station.  There is a LOT of home development happening here, and it will be nice to have those services right in our community.  And, some upcoming retail proposals.
