Guess I'm in the minority....

The people I voted for made the council. However:


Peoria Library Bonds
93 of 93 Precincts (100%)
Yes 9,951 72%
No 3,949 28%


Peoria Smoking Ban
93 of 93 Precincts (100%)
Yes 9,191 67%
No 4,560 33%

I voted in the 28 & 33 percent groups respectively. If 9191 people split my $49, it'll only cost them a half cent each....until all the bars start closing when all the smokers run to the Heights, Dunlap, Norwood, West & East Peoria and some digit scrambler decides to raise AV to make up for lost property taxes. I'm joking about the last part...someone will still have to pay property taxes whether the building is inhabited or not. Unless the state imposes a ban, I'm just getting another "I told ya so" shot in.

Now off of that subject. I'm witness to potential stupidity today. I'm driving down Prospect. A mom (I'm guessing) daughter (5-sih) and child in stroller heading toward me, on a pretty bumby looking, less than maintained sidewalk (but gee we can pump 35M into a library). The little girl is giving the stroller a huge push and lets it traverse on its own. Mother does nothing. Now, I guess the stroller could have been empty (the convertible top was up) and that Ms. Pushy was the previous occupant, even though the stroller looked a bit small for her. But it freaked me out!!

Do you think yelling at me over the phone is making me more sympathetic to your issue and wanting to help you? A. NO B. Hell NO. C. Click.

I saw an SUV with, what appeared to be, maybe 30" rims. Kinda looked silly. Was waiting for the clowns to come out and start a parade.

I can't make this up. "So, YOU'RE Chef Kevin." "Yep, its me." "I thought you'd be older." Great. So I type in old or something. Nothing like a backhanded compliment.

Sigh...
