Adventures in Rezoning - Part II
It's 9:07, the kids are off to school and I now have a hefty chunck of videotape of the traffic on my road. I took some still pics with my digital camera, just for good measure.
It's a beautiful, though getting a bit hot, day. Blue skies, sunny -- this is a rare event in this area. We're more use to rain that goes on for ever, thunderstorms that start and stop and have distinct boundaries (it could be raining at my house, and the house across the street is dry), and then there's the SNOW. Dear Lord do we get a lot of snow. That's when traffic REALLY gets interesting.
Anyways, back to the rezoning issue. I was outside for about an hour with the video camera. I even had a few visitors, the most interesting of which was the guy who runs the daycare center who drove south past my house, turned around in someone's driveway and then came north past me again to get a good look at what I was up to. And yes, I got all that on tape.
I'm off to import this video and send an email to the town board. Then I'm going door to door again to get more signatures for my petition and to make sure people know about the Town Board Meeting tonight. And yes, I tell everyone about the meeting -- whether they're for it or againist it (or "Too old to care" as one neighbor put it), they should have their opportunity to voice their opinion instead of being told later what's going to happen.

Just remember, a proposal does not mean that approval is a given. A real "hot button" issue these days is the safety of our children and any public body that is responsible to its electorate is sure to remember that. Fight the good fight!
