Dog or cat, bitch or tom. The choice this year is clear.

Mayor Ron White, who has no vote on the council, tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram (http://bit.ly/28SVZsK ) the vote was a tit-for-tat after a city employee wasn’t allowed to bring a puppy to work at City Hall.


Small town politics.

A teacher with a corvette

I am sure next week he is at his union meeting complaining how under paid he is

Teachers whine too much. I worked in a school district for a few years, the big babies were not in the preschool or kindergarten classrooms, they resided in the Faculty lounge

My local Ace Hardware store has a couple cats who roam around, but they usually just sleep on the front counter.

The owner has a sign on his office door with a cat silhouette with an red X with the words No cats in office.
Even if cats could read, they would not obey the sign...

The local junk yard had one who resided in the office office as well, so does the local gravel quarry.

The story of Dewey the library cat in Iowa is excellent. Having a cat visit you in the library is special.

The locals complain about rising property taxes, while teachers are driving Corvettes...I think I see the problem. (Back in soviet Red Hampshire, if you wanted to see a collection of the nicest vehicles currently on the road, all you had to do was visit the parking lot of the local public school.)

I’m not a cat lover. Don’t hate them just don’t really like them. When I go places where there’s a cat I just ignore them. No reason to make a big deal out of it. jeez

We have a saying in New Jersey

The more luxury and sports cars in the school parking lot, the worse the school....
