If I want to get somewhere else, I must blog twice as fast as that!

One Answer to Franklin's Rising Gas Prices...Inspired by Boomgaard!

Since our Common Council has been silent regarding Boomgaard, even though they are aware of the feelings of some of the citizens of Franklin regarding the name for the 27th Street Corridor, and since we know it could be 30, 60, 90, 120 days before the 27th Street Steering Committee makes some sort of decision regarding the name, I think it can’t hurt to still think about incorporating some Boomgaard themes into our lives...just in case.

Look what popped up in the news today. 

An environmentally friendly, gas saving, form of transportation that not only would help with the transportation problem for schools (parents could transport children to school, therefore reducing how many buses we would need) but with the price of gas, we could seriously think about using this bike and cart to go to the grocery store, to work, and to the apple orchard.
 And it only costs about $1,787.00!  What a deal.

Funny stuff, Janet!

Considering what Alderman Olson said in Kevin Fischer's blog earlier today, I still think these Aldermen are still too into themselves to realize what a tremendous blunder they made with the name.

Their denial stage just keeps going...and going...and going...

Are you sure you would want these clogging up the roadways?

"Clogging?"





Actually, I think of it as more of the Dutch version of a Harley with a sidecar....

It makes me want to go for a Dutch apple pie, but alas I am on a diet.

A Harley with a sidecar??? Well, maybe, I do see some chrome there. And you could always fill it up with... potato(s)...potato(s)...potato(s).

I'm sorry!
