Hey, all of Columbus, GA! Well, all "current residents" who get a monthly bill from the Columbus Water Works.. You've received a 16 page, full color report on the quality of water .. and other pertinent information... this week. Wasn't it "wonderful"? Well, I can't say I've read it for any other reason other than to point out that whatever it cost for them to print and mail is added into the costs WE have to pay to get the water... Think about it.. somebody was paid to put this together this, and the US Post Office doesn't deliver it for free.. and (even though the City's Tax Database is still "down" for the past 4 weeks due to some malware situation) we know that there are better than 55,000 "current residents" who were mailed one, and at a guessed minimum cost of $1.00-$1.50 per copy, that's in the neighbor hood of $55,000..-$82.500.00 in expenses added into our water bill. Hey, Council.. the Mayor is ON THE WATER BOARD.... next year, hold him responsible for just posting the results online, and include the website address somewhere on our monthly bills so we'll know where to look it up if... IF.. we are so concerned.. Oh... how about telling the Water Bill payers exactly how much this DID cost.. and let us know..
Addendum: Just saw this "report" as a "banner ad" on the Columbus Ledger-on-Line website! This is a blatant waste of users money! Somebody's head needs to ROLL.

From the "I've always heard that 'pigs don't fly'...." department -- Online Columbus L-E headline/story: "Can dogs smell the coronavirus? Company training new COVID-detection dogs * Dogs can sniff out drugs and bombs, or find someone lost in the woods. They can even smell when someone is about to have a seizure. Now, dogs with specially trained snouts could also be enlisted into the fight against the coronavirus pandemic. * A British organization that specializes in medical detection dogs is training six to prove that well-trained canines could be a reliable first line of defense to screen people for COVID-19." -- Good grief.. by the time enough dogs could be "trained" to do this Covid-19 will be history, and Covid-20, 21, or 22 will be around.. This is certainly a situation.. like pigs... that Covid dogs don't fly!

On the other hand, some pertinent Columbus news story did NOT make the Columbus L-E because this story took up space..

From the "mail-in voting is definitely NOT the right direction" department - Online AJC headline/story: "Election workers struggle to finish counting Georgia absentee ballots * A week after Georgia’s primary, tens of thousands of absentee ballots haven’t yet been counted, stalling complete results and leaving some races in limbo. * The sheer number of absentee votes, a Georgia record of 1.1 million, caused much of the holdup. Election workers must sort ballot envelopes, open them, separate ballots and scan votes. * On absentee ballots where voters didn’t color in ovals, bipartisan panels have to review them by hand and decide on voters’ intent. * In some cases, lightly marked ballots didn’t register votes at all. Those marked with a check mark or “X” instead of a bubble were most likely to go undetected by the scanners. " -- Well... here you have it.. the second worst case scenario for general mail-in voting... the first? Having "ballot handlers" responsible for deciding what a voter's "intent" was, and having a "ballot handler" deciding whether to scan the ballot or not! Re-instate the earlier limitations as to who gets to use an absentee ballot... one particular rule being that the voter must request it themselves! This would... well, COULD... eliminate nursing/long-term care facilities from applying for/and handling such ballots.

Have waited so I could "digest" what the US Supreme Court decided...I'm still pondering.... I do not understand how an undocumented "want" or "whim" has the status of a Chromosome determinable condition of gender.

From the "how MSM-13 spreads misinformation" department - Online "headLIE": "Coronavirus hotspots flare in Arizona and Florida; Oregon church linked to outbreak" -- You know.. there will be people who WANT to believe such crap who will take the message in this "headLIE" and spread it like gospel that some Oregon church is responsible for flare-ups of Covid-19 in FL and AZ... and as to the "flare-ups".. maybe not ALL, but most of the "increases" are because more and more readily available testing is happening.

In earlier comments, I mentioned that the Covid-19 Relief checks should be screened against arrests for rioting and looting... now that another round of checks is being discussed, it would be even more important to check on arrests than ever.. We know many of the protesters are being bused in and "paid" from liberal organization so they shouldn't be paid twice or get unemployment checks.

Local Columbus, GA Update: Though nothing public has been posted in the newspaper that I've seen, a reliable source of information says there are plans to "sell" all the properties of a certain local Authority Director that are delinquent on two plus years of back property taxes..... we'll see...

While I think that if the City of Seattle would simply cut off cellphone and Wifi services, and shut down Starbucks stores in the area, the protesters would ditch their hostage community within a few hours, but have heard a couple of other strategies that would work as well.. one is to require people wanting in... or OUT... provide a passport to leave/enter the US; a second would set up a Duties Office where all food headed into the complex would have to be quarantined for two weeks before being allowed.

AJC headline/story: "Equal Justice Initiative research adds 2,000 lynchings from Reconstruction * New report includes 300 acts of violence, 13 deaths in Georgia. * The report documents more than 300 acts of violence and 13 deaths in Reconstruction-era Georgia, including mass lynchings in McDuffie County in east Georgia and in the south Georgia city of Camilla. Both violent episodes were designed to terrorize African Americans and prevent them from voting. * The report, “Reconstruction in America,” shows how whites used racial violence to reassert white supremacy while stripping away the political, economic and civil gains African Americans had hoped would provide them with a brighter future for them and their children." -- Yep... more historical misdeeds .. atrocities .. committed by Democrats.. sadly, the Soc-Dems of today haven't changed anything but their tactics and rhetoric.

AJC headline: "House will vote on making D.C. a state * Trump’s handling of protests in capital galvanizes movement." -- Good grief.. for one, Washington, DC was set up NOT to be a state. but granting statehood is not something on House of Congress can grant.. Besides, the Socialist-Democrats have already created a "state" in Washington, DC... it's already a constant state of CHAOS!

Have looked for them, but somehow May's unexpected upward surge in Retail Sales doesn't fit the agenda of MSM-13's headlines and reports..

You know... the vandalism and protests of Civil War era memorials probably has done more to bring them into public eye than ignoring them which is what the general public does.. I just wish the protesting elements would realize that it was Democrats who raised them..and protester efforts would have greater results by removing Soc-Dems from office via the voting process.
