Way too early for ripe persimmons, and if you're looking for 'em green, just one is all you will want.
I would like to point out that when it has come to a vote, only my alderman, Larry Wolf, put up a NO to rubber-stamping the rates asked for by the PUC.
I can’t make heads or tails of this sign controversy. The statements by both candidates and news coverage has been so vague as to the time line, location, and identification of the property owners, that I can not piece together an understanding.

- LOL, not wanting it to eat Harper, just wanting to cut the seed in two to see what's inside! But it might be a little early for that also! thanks for the reminder of the time life. Guess It's been too long since I've lived in the country!

- Harper,
I just checked out the Gardenia you shared and it is loaded with big buds. Won't be long until it is loaded with blooms.
Thank you for sharing with me.

- Harper,
Just a note to let you know that the Camelia you shared, gave me a beautiful red bloom this Spring. I have pics but will have to send later.
Thank you,

Munky said… - Remember that park that was proposed for construction in the flood plain on the southeast corner at I-30 exit 114? I noticed that there is a dirt pit on the northwest corner of the same intersection. What a deal! If the voters had gone for it, they could have sold millions of dollars worth of fill from the northwest corner to raise the southeast corner land by two feet to take it out of the floodplain.
You might already be aware of the AHTD web site for getting cost information. There are weighted averages with high and low contract prices.

- Harper, I agree with you. Building a park in the floodplain was a really stupid idea. According to my article from the 2/11/07 Benton Courier, they were going to raise the land by two feet to take it out of the floodplain. I used the AHTD bid tabs and calculated the cost over two years ago. I can't repeat the number exactly, but I can assure you that the cost is quite high.
Bringing up ancient history might confuse some people, since a new and different project is now being discussed. Confusion would punish the people who have worked so hard to move the community forward and would deprive the community of a long needed project.

Broadband
This morning my thoughts are turned to the lack of highspeed communications to much of our community. In a way, I think we have nobody to blame but ourselves for the situation.
Suppose for a minute that we are the board of directors for one of the corporations that supply these services and we are considering where is the next place we will expand our network. There is a major investment required to lay fiber optic line and we look closely at the potential customers for an area compared to cons… Continue

We missed the boat.
Or rather, most of the boats never showed up.

In my opinion we are failing to maximize the recreation value of this stream. It's use falls mainly in the spring and fall because the recreation is highly dependent on the stream flow. We have the ability to enhance the flow and we should be doing it. Does it make sense to… Continue

Tyndall Park July 4
I had a blast assisting Johnny McMahan shooting video at Tyndall Park on July 4. Below are a couple of video captures from the fireworks finale. The show can be seen on Cable Channel 12 the next couple of days.

Buying things we don’t need.
I guess we have all done it; bought a musical instrument we would learn to play, or maybe an exorcize machine for a body transformation. It sounded like a good idea at the time, but the instrument is in the closet and the exorcize machine is in the garage. I don’t know what your mistake in judgment was, but I bet you’ve made the same type mistake.

Staying out of trouble
So the other night the wife and I were watching TV when one of those internet matchmaking ads came on. She looks over to me and asks " Are we soulmates?" The warning lights flash and the alarm bells ring. This is the type question gets husbands in deep trouble.
If you have ever been a witness at trial, you have probably had a lawyer tell you to keep your answers short. If a yes or no will work, stop there. Don't elaborate, don't volunteer any addition information. And for you guys that haven't… Continue

Yeah, blame that on intelligence on my part. I honestly have little interest in this race. I just enjoy pointing out stupid posts and hypocrisy. For instance....a person who cries about other people not identifying themselves when the crying indi…

It depends upon your location.
Some folks don't have high speed internet and are still on dial-up.
Jason, here are some previous posts that might be useful:

Thanks, but the credit should go to Linda Ives. She posted her electric bill under Greg White’s topic on Benton Utilities. It made me think of how useful the information could be, if gathered in a comparable format. I was hoping to get enough data t…
It is being run by Malvern National Bank...They took it over when the previous owner lost it and could not pay the bills.
Does any know what are all the options for high speed internet in Benton? I have AT&T DSL but am thinking about making a switch and what to see what is out there in terms of prices and sevice.
Munky:
I want to "Thank YOU" for this post.
Jerri,
Have you ever considered that the kids might get on here from time to time and read this stuff. If you want to be negative thats fine by me just try and keep it directed toward Prothro and the whole head coaching debacle that took place.

Wendy,
Thanks. It took about a week to get to this stage. I still have to sew buttons on the back and add a ribbon belt. I crochet at night instead of watching tv after work. I'm working on a beautiful little dress now for the daughter of my son's g…
Wow, it's gorgeous, but how do you have time and patience to do this? How long did it take?
It was open Saturday night.
Just an observation, but I would think it's best not for an anonymous poster such as yourself to call on others to do what you will not do. But maybe that's just me.
City and County government affairs, public service and political happenings.
I feel so famous now! People want to know what my name is and where I live...Fame, and glory, can I ever hold up to my fans out there in the internet world. Thank you for the attention and warm welcome being Da Man is hard work some times.
