This Week in Deerwood Forest

Here's quite a bunch of photos from this week in the woods. I'll be back with this feature in a month's time.

It's time for me think about the Seguin Quotes I've collected from people in Ward 1 and write down my basic campaign platform. I'll spend a good deal of thought on it and state my platform on this blog.

Hope you like the pictures...

Newspapers Retract 'Climategate'

Check out this Newsweek article which summarizes the various Climategate retractions and apologies by newspapers (The Sunday Times of London) denying the human impact of Climate Change.

It's about time. But as the article notes, the damage is done. Lies seem more compelling in these times. Meatheads will continue to blather lies as convincing truth.

Campaign Sign Timber

Yesterday I did some more sign stenciling, then moved on to cutting timber into signs. The new table saw really helped out. Because, you know, hand sawing is all well and good, but there's a lot of wood to cut.

So....

Campaign Sign Stencils

Crafty me, I've begun my back-of-the-cereal-box work of cutting letters for my campaign signs. I'm going for the record of low-cost political campaigns. I don't like to spend money unless it's necessary. And I hate the idea of using plastic signs.

Hey, I went to kindergarten. I know how to make my own signs.

Seguin Quotes: June 19th - 20th

I was back on the campaign trail again on a weekend with forecasts of rain and thunder, but was warm and sunny. This installment of my 'Seguin Quotes' series garnered only one quoter. Maybe I'm losing my touch! Though many people weren't home during my visit, and those who were had a lot to say. I don't know exactly why people don't want to go on record about things they'd like to change. There are many people who are happy just as things are and that's just fine.

Saturday, I cycled highway 518, Shoebottom Road, and McNaughts Road. Then on Sunday I visited people on Little Finland Road, Fox Cresent, and Nestor's Lane.

So, this set of quotes is from my only quoter of the weekend, Balbina Mersch.

My question: "What's the one thing you would change about Seguin Township?"

Fox Cresent.

"Keep taxes the way they are. Don't raise them" - Balbina Mersch, Fox Cresent.

"In the summertime [Fox Cresent] gets dusty. Can they do something in summer to keep the dust down?" - Balbina Mersch, Fox Cresent.

"Two years ago they promised to fix the road and property boundry problem [on my frontage]. Nothing has happened since. Any day they can fix it. I would appreciate it" - Balbina Mersch, Fox Cresent.
