Obama's Stimulas Package

(In relation to the poll in the left column.) Please leave your thoughts on this in comments below.

The Bonac Saga

After reading the East Hampton Star, I have presumed that the committee that was selected to suggest ways for the town to save or cutback on the town budget, are actually becoming a watchdog group and trying to find out why the town is in such a financial conundrum. McGintey does not like it. He is perpetuating that the committee is actually a political lynch mob.

If they uncover misdeeds then he can call them whatever he likes because he will finally be outed as the thief of Baghdad. From what I understand from local accounts is that the town is in such bad shape that they have stopped paying their retirees insurance policies. What do they do with the outrageous money they rake in for taxes? Where does it go? It seems that indeed someone has some very deep pockets, and not the good kind either. They certainly do not pay the town workers enough to live on, and now they [workers] have to pay for their own health insurance as well.

What is more confusing to me is that Mr. Hammeril no longer wants to be the liaison between the town board and the comittee, he is willing to let a democrat take over that job. If it wasn't a political lynch mob before?????

More on this after I try and get a response from the Town Supervisor.

Why, you ask, I am so interested in Bonac's problems when I live in NC? The answer is that these are the kind of morons that made it so expensive to live there that after having done so all my life, I was forced to move away from my home, the place that my ancestors help to build. Being a 'commoner' and working for a living, and the Great State of NY closing the shell fishing whenever they felt like it had put my immediate family in a financial quagmire. I am just interested in how the town is going fix this problem before they run off the hollywood set as well. Obviously they can not move to a cheaper, dumpier locale, they have to fix it and unlike so many other local families that they [the town] have came close to ruining and forcing them to move away because of outrageously high taxes, as well.

It had become a fact that the town no longer wanted the working man living in their town, they would settle for the service workers to live and commute from outside of East Hampton so they wouldn't co-exist with the rich and famous and scare all that big money away. Now it looks as though they may be doing a good job of that themselves.

Computer Fixed

It's fixed, for now. I had to not only install a new motherboard but a new power supply as well, seems the new motherboard requires more power because it is SLI ready and I also installed two GeForce 6600 gt's and plugged in the SLI bridge. What a difference in the performance! This computer now scored a 20073 on the 3Dmark score, it used to be a 4389. I would recommend anyone to upgrade to either SLI technology or Crossfire ATI, these technologies are not only for gaming but are excellent for any business computer, home computer, computers running AUTODESK or any 3d programs. It is relativley cost effective when you factor in the time spent on the computer doing your financials, playing games, drawing pictures or making avatars or whatever.

So for now that's the new post but I may be back later to talk about the good old town of East Hampton and how it is meeting it's demise. Until then.........
