Mid-Afternoon at City Hall

I am sitting in City Hall listening to the howl of the wind outside punctuated by the cry of the occasional crow.....Its 2PM and I have a meeting in half an hour.
A bit of dead time, as I have checked mail and gone over the schedule of Christmas parties coming up...That all starts tomorrow with the HSBC bash and the Menorah lighting on Public Square.
I have gotten a lot of comments on the return of the Yuengling sign and the consensus is the publicity blitz rendered the object worthless as anywhere it was displayed or sold would elicit comments on its theft. The identity of the perp would have been known too and now that's its over, there will be nothing more said.
The weather looks beastly for the next couple of days....but the heavy rain will turn Faith, Hope and Charity at the Hydro Plant and that's good budget news...All the talk of heavy Canadian shopping over the holiday is good news on the sales tax front.
I am optimistic about 2011.
Well, almost time for my meeting, so I will update later.

I am disappointed that you draw such a negative conclusion on the motivation of the prankster theft.
What evil lurks in the hearts of men?
What good lurks in the hearts of men?
Maybe after seeing you go out to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas
The Grinch’s heart grew three sizes.

As a now fully recovered, but occasional kleptomaniac in my teenage years,
I can tell you that the publicity would only add to the thrill.
So returning it would be because of a change of heart.

I believe in redemption...but short of that fear of getting caught is a good thing.
