Town Talk: Therapeutic autism ranch may develop south of Lawrence; Knology e-mail issues resolved; Lawrence lands on Mother Earth list; tree cutting near Kaw levee
All I can add is that it took 5 minutes of phone time with a Knology tech on Wedneday afternoon and Outlook was sending again. Almost took me longer to navigate the phone prompts than it did to talk to the tech and solve the problem.

Better off in Lawrence? An answer by the numbers.
And I can almost guarantee you the opposite.

Rec center will add $6M to economy, report says
I've read a number of major reports & studies over the years that there is not a single major sports complex baseball/football..etc., in a major city where the taxpayer does not come out on the short end of the equation. Yeah I know Lawrence is a minor city so it for sure will work here.
I can hardly wait to now support an overbuilt library, golf course, bus system along with a host of other feel good projects. Just another retiree thinking it may be time to pull up stakes.

Did you watch the opening cermonies of the Olympics?
The 9 year old boy segment and Mr. Bean were the highlights of the entertainment section.
While the HHS portion created a new low for such an event.
And apparenlty NBC figured they could skip about 100+ nations that participated in the Parade of Nations.
Certainly glad we did our viewing via DVR and the Fast Forward Button.
Lastly....Shame on Knology for not offering the 3D feed which is available and which all the major providers are offering..even WOW has it, but they did not obtain Knology soon enough to implement it into our feed..

City mulls increase in property tax rate, sales tax
Sure $21 does not sound like much, then again even if you round down to say $15 and now every household in Lawrence has $15 less to spend on say pizza, just how many less sales will those stores have.
Or maybe we could isolate down on just one pizza place, like maybe Papa Murphy's and now how many less pizza's will they sell during the year.
So now insert the store of your choice and if each Lawrence household does not spend those dollars t that location as they now go to City Hall will they still be in business at the end of the year.
And folks wonder why Lawrence is not considered Business Friendly.
This retiree creeps ever closer to saying enough is enough and moving on to a city that does not think of its citizens as cash cows.

Proposed city budget anticipates revenue loss
It just doesn't end does it.
How about for a change we only use as many eggs as we have in our baskets instead of asking all us citizens to contribute more eggs.
With this drought my money trees are having a darn hard time keeping up, or is it now money hens I need.

Town Talk: Lawrence retail sales on best pace since 2004; city sales tax expected to collect $1.1 million more in sales tax than budgeted; Nomads to close temporarily for remodel
Certainly the best use I can think of for these dollars. After all it is our money, not theirs.

Storm misses Lawrence — evidence of the Tonganoxie split?
From the way the storm acted it would seem more appropriate to say all the hot air in Lawrence created a shield that even a major rain storm could not overcome.

Details emerging on the proposed Lawrence recreation center
Looks like I need to plant a few more Money Trees as what I currently have are certainly not going to be adequate to support this city in the style they seem to think they deserve.

Congress approves historic health care legislation
To think in my lifetime I have seen the fall of the Soviet Union, the falling of the Berlin Wall, and now the falling of the US Constitution.
