back to Bangles
You can Walk like an Egyptian, see a hazy shade of winter or have an adventure in your room. Yes, I love Youtube.

a musical tribute
to the now-gone car kabob: a musical moment from "Wayne's World." For those of you who haven't seen it, there are several SW side landmarks in this, and the car kabob appears towards the end.
another spike
No, this one has nothing to do with Spike Lee. Berwyn's infamous car spike bit the dust yesterday.

parking and traffic on 97th Street
If any of you readers were at the meeting at Ginger Rugai's office after that nasty accident on 97th near Longwood a few months back, you've probably been wondering what's happening with parking signage and/or restrictions there. I just ran into a neighbor who was wondering the same thing.
I called Ginger Rugai's office today and was told that the "No parking here to corner" sign that was wiped out by the crash will be replaced ASAP. Neighborhood permit parking signs will be going up soon, probably within a month. Hopefully that will help with the congestion issues we've been having there.

witch hunt
Have we been hearing anything about Hillary Clinton's pastor or John McCain's? Would information about them inform the voting public about their ideas or their ability to perform the job of president? No.
Has the media made an issue of the fact that McCain attends and likes a Phoenix-area Baptist megachurch but publicly identifies as Episcopalian? Has there been any significant attention to Hillary Clinton's beliefs? Do most Americans even know that she is Methodist? No.
Why all the hoopla about Jeremiah Wright? He takes controversial stands on some issues. Does it mean that Barack Obama embraces those same opinions. No.
Let's call this ruckus what it really is: thinly veiled racism. I'm hoping that Wright's 15 minutes will be up sooner rather than later.
