I must echo the sentiment in The Toddler Reality Show today. One can’t help but wonder just how much greed and avarice goes into failing to respect the accomplishments of a 91 year old man. Truly makes me believe — hell is here on earth. It’s not a place in the spiritual realm. You, we, [...]
I’m verklempt.
The Committee of 100 is neither a committee nor is it 100. Discuss.
Do not interpret my silence as anything more than contempt for our mayor and the carpetbagging real estate assholes who grabbed what developmental viability this town held in its fragile, arthritic economic hands and turned it into a pile of shit.
Hey neighbor! [...]
Cute, not spooky, abounds, around here.
Who wants dinosaurs? Are they great or not?

[photopress:blimp_darapatech.jpg,thumb,alignright]I’ve blogged about Washington, NC since before blog was a word. There have been many harsh words thrown my way regarding my opinions. Some of it damn nasty. It’s all pfiesteria under the bridge. I’m a liberal, more Democrat than anything. A moderate radical progressive for damn sure.
My detractors will snort when I repeat [...]
we heard of this idea about ten years ago… wondered how the railroad tracks could be skirted and then wondered how the people who owned houses on E. Main St. would feel with a walk way in their backyard! Ha. Glad we don’t live there any more… Now we’re just the public who will benefit [...]
Jane has a fix for us, here’s how to get the activation fee waived if you went to the Beaufort County Humane Society on September 8, 2007 for a micro-chip for your pet.
here is what she says:
Well, I got a fix from the folks at Petlink. Its not perfect, but it will work for now. [...]
Well, its not perfect, but for now, anyone who received a Bayer ResQ chip can contact Petlink.net at petlink@petlink.net to receive their free registration. If you’ve already paid, they will refund your credit card. You can also call them at 1-877-738-5465
Light pollution in historic downtown Washington, NC
Got all THREE dogs micro-chipped and rabies vaccinated this last Saturday. What a terrific bunch of volunteers! Thanks to everyone involved in this —
Now, the hitch — Bayer provided the resQ pet tracking system microchips. We were told to go to PetLink.net to register our pets and after filling out the registration information were [...]
So, why am I so pissed about the activation fee? Not because I personally have to pay it, our three dogs are worth it. I am angry because I live at the ass-end of everywhere. The illiteracy rate is around 60% according to the US Census Bureau. People in this area truly believe $8.00 is [...]
without additional payment. Maybe this should be the headline:
Bayer Health Care — Animal Health Division offers false promises and cheats Beaufort County residents by charging $11.95 activation fee for $20 resQ pet id microchips.
This is a hoax:
# PetLink™ Pet Registration Database
* resQ is supported by a no-cost pet registration database in the U.S. that [...]
No more boredom for billpayers, nope, not here in little Washington. As I paid my utility bill today right above my head, a TV blared out fox news for the entire lobby as well as the utility offices. Nice to know Rupert Murdoch unfair and unbalanced neo-con Bill O’Reilly-fied interpretation of the news is paid [...]
I used to care about this area.
The latest insult — Stan Deatherage’s hellhole of a building sits on blocks right in the middle of town — on Third St. where P.S. Jones High School once stood proudly.
It is now lashed to the ground like a mobile home. Disgusting… Deatherage first rips off the [...]

Being held hostage by Suddenlink’s unbelievably slow connection and constant disconnects?
Guess what? You are not alone.
Suddenly disconnected. Again. Is there any recourse for the small business-owner, any compensation for lost revenue? Shall we all complain to the FCC? the FTC?
FTC complaint form suggested link.
Suddenlink customers should read the following FTC staff report. Personally, I [...]
still working on updates — partial list of people to thank: Ultimate Tag Warrior and Christine Davis, Derek Punsalan. Just started loading and re-loading the old MySQL, hang in there. that theme isn’t used right now…
I’m using Neon. links and shit in a bit.

NC state senate says phooey to passing a law protecting our property. Read it and weep. It’s okay to take people’s land for economic development. I’m so mad I could scream.
Mad at our City Council for even suggesting that two property owners join in to develop the Evans Seafood property. If the Mayor in [...]
Introduced in January 2007, ya’ll need to let the two people you voted for (not me) about supporting, co-sponsoring, working hard for passage… voting yay, voting hell yes, voting get off my property fool…
Civics lesson: Most bills don’t make it out of committee. This bill is — in committee. Write Mrs. Dole and Mr. Whatshisnamedufus [...]
Oh shit! There is no way to NOT respond to the City Council’s feasibility study idea.
Of course it’s feasible to sell all the waterfront property in downtown Washington. Of course it’s feasible to coerce all the land owners into selling their property and then combining the land all in one nice lump sum [...]
My neighbor Tex Fuller made a great video (narrated by Clyde Edgerton!) on the NO OLF Fight.
