I don't know if a lot of people have noticed that the Mayor's Office is now painted a light, bright yellow!
I always wanted John Moak to paint the walls in there (and I brought it up as frequently as I was in there, which wasn't all that much). Not that I object to oxblood as a color - it really looks fine on shoes and boots - but yuck to the walls.
And not speaking of yellow - I can hear the ocean roaring from way over here, with all the windows closed. I hope that doesn't mean that's it's a lot closer than it was earlier today ...

How often do you think most of us see the inside of the mayor's office?
The mayor's office shares many commonalities with other structural partitioning found throughout the world:it has a floor (good thing!), four walls, some windows,two doors, and a ceiling. Common to many offices, the mayor's office has a desk, some chairs, bookshelves, a computer and printer, and art work of varying levels of skill and taste. What separates the mayor's office from so many other offices is that it sometimes contains a mayor. But not always. Nor should it. There are people to meet, things to do.
By contrast, other cultures dispense with the four walls and just have one wall, a floor and a ceiling. Unless on state occasions or partaking in eco-tourism, one rarely finds mayors in either yurts or igloos. Parameters of artwork quality probably remain constant.
What? You mean you've never even tried to peer in there?
