Seemed like I had a whole bunch of little bit reactions to the Bulletin this morning. I've already talked about the Typhoon picture. Others:
A little sidebar in the business section that "Home sales decline, confidence dips." This is like the real story, but never mind. There has been a full court press of positive news about the economy lately, but I ain't buying it.
Not much worse, not much better. At least from what I can see in my store.
**********
"Airport Plans Stuck On Taxiway."
Big plans -- like all of Central Oregon organizations. We like our plans big.
Not just a big hotel, but it must be a "three or four stars" hotel.
Um, I not sure that designation is up to you.
**********
"LinkedIn Shares soar...."
Whatever. Tech bubble anyone?
**********
"Treasury Support for Small-Business Lending Yet to Begin."
They should get going around the same time the recession is ending. Heh.
On the same page is a "SBA" Financing ad. I applied for one these once, and got back a stack 3 inches thick of red tape.
********
"Amazon Selling More E-Books Than Print Books."
Get back to me when Amazon is making more MONEY in E-Books than Print....
**********
"County OK's Additional Prosecutor."
Frankly, it sounds like the new district attorney is less than organized. Can't we at least ask him to be organized?
**********
"Redmond Looks to Spur Affordable Housing...."
At the same time, the Bulletin editorial expresses doubt about the fees in Bend for these projects. I think they left out the most ridiculous one; the condo's above the parking garage, that were more expensive than the average home around here.
I wish they would use these funds to help out current homeowners and or prospective buyers, rather than building new housing.
**********
"Police Say They Couldn't Stop Hit-Run Suspect..."
I'm not buying it.
Couldn't they have arrested him for....(ah, hem ignore that sound of breaking glass, ah, hem)...a broken tail light? Something? Anything?
I'm pretty sure they could have. I think they just thought they had discouraged the guy....
**********
"Support for Bend Zip Line Slackens."
Thank god, we still have the water park.
Ummmm....we still do have the water park, don't we?
**********
The picture of Bend's city population sign in 1977. 17, 300 peeps. Less than Redmond, currently. It was such a nice town....
