Who do I have to speak with at the municipal building, to restrict parking in front of my house?

Well, the parking thread drifted, so it seemed sensible to relocate the discussion here ...

Call town hall and speak with the same people who decide if and when you can have a new tree between your sidewalk and the curb. You can inquire about having a concrete curb replaced with cobble stones at the same time.

Look, it's very simple. There are three kinds of people in the world: those who can count, and those who can't.

Christopher Walken arrives for portraits with jet black hair. He is quite thin and rather easy going. On set Walken is flawless, every frame special. We talk about Jen Nathan and her London Sunday Times interview with him. He confirms the story about driving as a teenager for his father's bakery business. To this day he drives very slowly, still imagining birthday cakes piled high next to him on the front seat, terrified that a quick stop or a careless right turn could ruin them...

`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.




"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"


He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought --
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.


And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!


One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.


"And, has thou slain the Jabberwock?
Come to my arms, my beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!'
He chortled in his joy.




`Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe;
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

Those thoughtful people who bring those nice thick residential/commercial telephone books to your lawn (rather than your door) and deposit them in puddles of rain and mud (during a really major rain storm) have brought the art form of built in obsolescence to a new high.

Paper mache anyone?

We must find out what words are and how they function. They become images when written down,
but images of words repeated in the mind
and not of the image of the thing itself.

Rainbow, Brook, Brown, Lake, sunapee, cutthroat trout,Golden trout,bull trout, and Arctic Char.
Sadly I have only caught 4 of them. I have to go west.

FOREVER FACING THE HUNTERDON COUNTY COURTHOUSE, Flemington's Union Hotel stands witness to the never ending speculation which still surrounds the "trial of the century." During the height of the Lindbergh baby kidnapping/murder case, the hotel's 52 rooms, and even its closets, were the temporary base of operations for the country's most notable journalists. Today, only the bar and restaurant, located on the building's first floor, are open to the public. The second floor houses a few offices, and the rest of the Union Hotel is the exclusive property of the building's only full-time residents - its ghosts.

Recently Weird NJ was invited to tour the vacant rooms and empty hallways of the second, third and fourth floors, where we were told that the tenants have been a bit restless of late. According to the current manager, ongoing construction in the historic landmark has stirred up spirits, who have made their presence known by slamming doors, spinning barstools and generally going bump in the night.

"One night, after closing," she told us, "the bouncer locked the heavy wooden front doors in the foyer, then returned to the bar. A few of the staff were sitting around the bar having a drink, when all of a sudden the locked doors flew wide open and a cold wind swept past us. When the bouncer went back out to reclose the doors, he saw a disembodied pair of children's black patent-leather shoes walking up the main stairway. He freaked right out and ran across the street. Then he called us from a pay phone and told us to get out of the hotel right away!" Another time, one of my waitresses was carrying the register drawer upstairs to the office after closing. When she reached the top of the stairs, she heard an unearthly voice humming a child's lullaby. She dropped the drawer full of money right there on the landing and ran out of the building and never came back."
