I'm getting too old for this level of activity.
I was just in City Hall trying to spread good will before tomorrow's Current comes out and saw some meeting or the other going on in council chambers - Katie Farrell of the Daily News was in there - but I just walked on by. Looks like it was a Planning Board subcommittee on the proposed Toppans Lane Development.
But boy am I getting an education about sewers (so much for not hearing the word ever again).
For instance, do you know that there is no sewer service on the stretch of Storey Ave. that runs basically in front of the shopping plazas? Almost all the businesses in there have pipes running out to Low St. and one is still on a septic tank!
I mean, there is a cemetery across Storey Ave. and all ... not much need for sewer service there, I would imagine.
And that it costs almost nothing to run the gravity sewer pipes from anywhere that's uphill of the sewer plant?
And so - if the plant were moved somewhere else, all those pipes - well, all the pipes period -would have to be torn out and replaced.
It's not really interesting to you, is it? Don't lie ... I can tell.

I guess you were too tired to attend the ribbon cutting at the Port Tavern. I thought I was going to get to meet all of the important journalists of the city, and none of you were there.
What could possibly be more important than the opening of a new Guinness tap?
I was not informed of this event. Sorry I missed you, Dick. It's weird we've never met.
