I just returned from Montreal, so that is why I have not posted. I will be posting new pictures and videos soon. I drove back almost 400 miles and then had to go to work at night so I still am feeling the effects of the trip. While I was in Montreal, I saw Cirque de Soleil. There are many versions of this show going around, and I believe there will be a showing in Bridgeport at Harbor Yard Arena. If you have never seen these shows, please go and attend. It is mind boggling how these people can perform acrobatics. It is amazing. If you have seen Blue Man Group, then you will really enjoy Cirque de Soleil. The theme of all their shows revolves around good and evil.
Well, speaking of good and evil, when I work last night in town, there was a letter posted from the Cheshire Police Department asking business to obey the speed limits when they go to work and leave work. According to the Police, there have been complaints, although there is no way to substantiate these complaints about people speeding down Peck Lane and Knotter Drive, especially during working hours. The letter said something to the effect that if you wanted more information to contact the Police Department Traffic Division. To me, this is a step in the right direction for the Cheshire Police Department which has to learn, and I know they are sick and tired of it, but it is worth repeating, has to learn to communicate MORE with the public and interact MORE with the public, and I don’t mean in the back of the police car! Now people have been made aware of the speeding problem and if they get a ticket its their fault, they have no-one to blame but themselves. Sometimes I go through Knotter Drive and for the most part it is fine, but there are always one or two drivers who have to overdo it. And as far as Peck Lane is concerned, there are signs banning trucks from that road–but over the past three weeks, I have seen trucks going down that road and they were NOT making deliveries. But here we go again, whom will they ticket–the trucking company that does not have the RIGHT last name–of course. Law enforcement is for everyone. Everyone should be treated equally. I do have people who said they will go around and try to film some of these vehicles speeding or going where they are not supposed to be. Hopefully we will be able to put it on my website.
As far as the sign issue that I spoke about on my last post, it seems that OTHER peoples signs that are around town are not legal either—and we know who we are—Sandwich board signs need a permit. Get it–over on Highland Avenue across from the old Stoneworks? They are calling to tell me they saw my husband put up an “illegal” sign on a pole and they have one! It figures!
And I hope the person who is on the Town Council that I like learned his lesson about this town and their favoritism. Apparently this person tried to have a fundraiser last year in a building on Town Property and was told he could not do it. Now we read in the local paper that the party in power had a fund raiser on —- you guessed it— town property! I knew I should have stayed in Montreal!
