“SAME AS IT EVER WAS”

TALKING HEADS-”ONCE IN A LIFETIME”

I WILL BE POSTING THE FURNITURE INVOICES ON THURSDAY NIGHT.

AS YOU KNOW-MAYBE YOU DON’T-THE NEW CHESHIRE CT TOWN HISTORIAN IS JEANNE CHESANOW. WELL, UNKNOWN TO THE SELECTION COMMITTEE-I SECRETLY TAPED MY INTERVIEW WITH THE PERSONNEL COMMITTEE OF THE CHESHIRE CT TOWN COUNCIL IT WAS A WEIRD INTERVIEW. BUT WHATEVER.

INTERVIEW WITH CHESHIRE CT TOWN COUNCIL PERSONNEL COMMITTEE

BETTER THAN HER! 5:34 -NOT EVERYBODY CAN BE LIKE ME THAT’S FOR DAMN SURE. HELL YEAH.

I AM SETTING THIS TOWN ON FIRE (OOPS-FIGURATIVELY SPEAKING NOT LITERALLY-SORRY).WHEN THEY SEE ME AND MS. CHESANOW WALKING OUT THEY ARE GOING TO THINK I AM THE TOWN HISTORIAN. WHY? WHEN I GET THROUGH WITH THIS TOWN-IT IS GOING TO BE HISTORY!

THIS VIDEO ISN’T FAR FROM THE TRUTH BECAUSE SOMEONE (I WON’T SAY WHO) WAS MAKING LAUGHING  NOISES IN THE BACKGROUND WHEN I WAS SPEAKING AT MY INTERVIEW.

THE CHESHIRE HERALD HAS A STORY ABOUT THE HISTORIAN SITUATION. RON GAGLIARDI IS CORRECT. WHEN CERTAIN PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN DON’T LIKE WHAT YOU SAY-YOU GET BLACKBALLED AND HARASSED TO BOOT. I KNOW. I MADE A STATEMENT TO THE HERALD BUT OF COURSE THEY DID NOT PUT IT IN. THEY DON’T WANT TO “ENCOURAGE” DISSENT IN THIS TOWN. THEY FIGURE THEY CAN HOLD IT DOWN TO TWO OR THREE PEOPLE-MAKE THEIR LIVES MISERABLE AND HOPE THEY WILL EVENTUALLY MOVE OUT OF TOWN.

WRONG!

RON GAGLIARDI SHOULD START HIS OWN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. I WILL HELP HIM-NO PROBLEM. IF HE SERIOUSLY WANTS TO GET THINGS DONE HERE AND HAVE HIS VOICE HEARD-DO WHAT I DID-GO ON YOUR OWN. NOW YOU BET YOUR ASS I WILL BE MAKING MY STATEMENT TO THE TOWN COUNCIL ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED.

THIS PHONY INTERVIEW. THEY DID NOT HAVE ANY CANDIDATES BESIDES MR. GAGLIARDI.

WHEN THEY OPENED THE LETTER IN THE TOWN MANAGER’S OFFICE A FEW WEEKS AGO AND SAW IT WAS FROM ME-YOU KNOW THEY WENT TO PANIC MODE.

“OH GET PEOPLE TO APPLY” BECAUSE NO ONE FROM THE PUBLIC APPLIED BECAUSE THEY KNEW THEY WOULD GET THE SHAFT JOB. INSTEAD OF TAKING DIFFERENCES OF OPINION AND TRYING TO LEARN FROM IT-THIS TOWN TRIES TO MAKE YOUR LIFE MISERABLE. WELL, GUESS WHAT? IT CAN WORK BOTH WAYS.

“OH IT IS THIS DATE-NOW IT IS ANOTHER DATE-NOW IT IS ANOTHER TIME”. ANYTHING TO THROW ME OFF-BUT I GUESS THEY HAVEN’T LEARNED-I EXPECT THIS. I LOVE IT-I THRIVE ON IT. GOOD! THEY COULDN’T THROW ME OFF, I WAS GETTING THERE NO MATTER WHAT THEY TRIED.

THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT WANTS TO MAKE IT SEEM THAT THERE ARE ONLY  A FEW UNHAPPY PEOPLE IN THIS TOWN-AND THE ONES THAT SPEAK OUT ARE TROUBLE MAKERS. BELIEVE ME “GO ASK THE POLICE” LIKE THAT MORON TOLD ME-I NEVER EVEN HAD A TRAFFIC TICKET UNTIL I MOVED HERE-AND GUESS WHAT? I STILL DON’T ANYWHERE ELSE IN THE U.S. AND CANADA FOR THAT MATTER. YOU KNOW WHY.

THE MINUTES OF THAT INTERVIEW SAID THEY HAD A BREAK FROM 7:50 p.m. UNTIL 8:20 p.m. WHEN I ARRIVED FOR MY INTERVIEW. I DID NOT EVEN KNOW THE TOWN HAD LEFT A MESSAGE ON MY CELL PHONE THAT DAY ASKING ME TO COME IN EARLIER-THE DATE HAD BEEN CHANGED TWO TIMES AND NOW THE TIME CHANGED AGAIN. I WAS COMING FROM BRIDGEPORT AS IT WAS-GETTING OUT OF WORK EARLY-I TURNED MY PHONE ON WHEN I GOT OUT OF CLASS ONLY TO HEAR THE VOICE MAIL.

THERE WERE “FOUR” CANDIDATES-NO THERE WEREN’T. WELL WHAT HAPPENED TO THE “FOURTH” CANDIDATE-THIS PERSON NEVER GOT INTERVIEWED. BELIEVE ME TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT-BETWEEN THE POOL BUBBLE THIS HISTORIAN DEBACLE WHICH WAS BLOWN WAY WAY OUT OF PROPORTION-THE GUY ASKED FOR A DESK FOR GOD’S SAKE-TALK ABOUT THEATRICS-AND THE PETIT-YOU CAN IMAGINE WHAT I HAVE HEARD PEOPLE SAY.

I CALLED THE HERALD-I WANTED TO KNOW WHY MY STATEMENT WASN’T IN THERE. THEY SAID BECAUSE I RECEIVED A LETTER FROM THE TOWN THANKING ME (WHICH I RAN IN THE POST BELOW). HOW DID THE TOWN HALL KNOW I TALKED TO THE HERALD IN THE FIRST PLACE? SO YOU KNOW THE LETTER WAS AN AFTERTHOUGHT FIGURING IF I RECEIVED A LETTER THEY HAD AN EXCUSE NOT TO RUN MY STATEMENT. MY ENTIRE STATEMENT WAS NOT JUST ABOUT NOT RECEIVING A LETTER BELIEVE ME. RIDICULOUS.

WELL, THERE ARE AD INFINITUM ITEMS I CAN FIND WRONG WITH THIS TOWN.  AS THE OLD CHICAGO SONG SAID-”ONLY THE BEGINNING.”

YES FRIENDS THERE WAS (AGAIN) YET ANOTHER HACKING ATTEMPT AGAINST THIS BLOG. REMEMBER A FEW YEARS AGO, THE BLOG ACTUALLY WENT DOWN FOR A DAY.

I WAS ABLE TO FIND OUT THE “FURNITURE” AT THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT BOUGHT WITH THE GIFT ACCOUNT-WAS FOR THE RECORDS AND TECHNOLOGY CO-ORDINATOR’S OFFICE.

APPARENTLY, THE FURNITURE WAS IN POOR CONDITION. THEY PURCHASED THE FURNITURE AT “INSALCO” IN WALLINGFORD, CT. I ALSO FOUND OUT (AFTER I ASKED) THAT THE OLD FURNITURE WAS NOT THROWN AWAY, THANK GOD, IT WAS GIVEN TO SOME POLICE EMPLOYEES AND SOME FILE CABINETS WERE STORED IN THE TOWN HALL. I WILL POST THE INVOICES LATER-OFF TO WORK.

AND AS FAR AS THIS “NEW” COMMUNICATIONS SYSTEM IS CONCERNED, WELL WHEN I CALL THE PD I HEAR A HUM OVER THE LINE. I HOPE THAT ISN’T PART OF THIS NEW SYSTEM COSTING HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS!

TO BALANCE IT OUT-I DID SPEAK WITH THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE CHIEF ADMINISTRATIVE ASSISTANT. I TOLD HER MANY ARE NOTICING A BIG DIFFERENCE IN THE CHESHIRE POLICE DEPT EVER SINCE CHIEF DRYFE TOOK OVER. IT SEEMS MORE PROFESSIONAL. THERE WILL BE PROBLEMS AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE THINGS I AND MANY OF YOU DON’T LIKE-BUT WE MAY ACTUALLY BE MOVING UP FROM AN F TO A B!

THE PROBLEM WITH ALL OF THIS IS-I DON’T LIKE THIS “GIFT ACCOUNT”  BECAUSE IT CAN BE MIS-USED AND PROBABLY WAS IN THE PAST, THIS IS WHY IT IS MONITORED NOW. BUT, IF THE GIFT ACCOUNT IS ELIMINATED, THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WON’T BE ABLE TO GET THE MONEY ANYMORE. THEY ACCOUNT FOR THEIR ACTIONS-THEIR WEBSITE IS VERY COMPLETE AND OPEN-WE CAN’T EVEN GET THE UPDATED MONTHLY REPORTS ON THE POLICE WEBSITE FOR GOD’S SAKE-I HAVE TO RUN THE REPORTS BECAUSE ONLY THE TOWN COUNCIL GETS TO SEE IT. WHY?

ALSO, I MANAGED TO GET OVER TO THE POOL IN CHESHIRE CT TO SWIM AND SEE THE NEW BUBBLE. WELL, THIS BUBBLE LOOKS A LOT STURDIER THAN THE OLD ONE. IT IS BLUE ON THE BOTTOM, ON THE INSIDE AND WHITE ON TOP. THERE SEEMS TO BE TWO NEW METAL POLES ON EACH END OF THE POOL TO ADDING ADDITIONAL SUPPORT TO THE BUBBLE WHICH IS GOOD. SOMEONE DID THEIR HOMEWORK. HOPEFULLY WE WON’T HAVE ANOTHER COLLAPSE FROM SNOW WITH THESE NEW SUPPORTS. THE AIR SEEMED BETTER-IT WAS COOL NOT HOT CONSIDERING THE OUTSIDE TEMPERATURE ON WEDNESDAY, FEBRUARY 15 WAS NEARLY 50 DEGREES. AND SOMEONE ALSO TOOK A HINT WITH THE WATER TEMPERATURE-REFRESHING INSTEAD OF A SAUNA BATH.

THE TILE INSIDE OF THE WOMEN’S LOCKER ROOM-CAN’T TELL YOU ABOUT THE MEN’S-LOOKS NICE. EVERYTHING LOOKS GOOD. HOPE IT STAYS THAT WAY. TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT-MAKE SURE YOU DO WHAT THE MADISON Y DID (REMEMBER MY PHOTOS A FEW YEARS AGO), THEY POWERWASH THEIR INFLATABLE BUBBLE ON THEIR POOL AND TENNIS COURT BEFORE THEY PUT THEM UP SO IT DOESN’T END UP LOOKING AS IF A HURD OF ELEPHANTS TRAMPLED OVER IT. I GUESS NEXT WEEK, WHEN SCHOOL IS OUT FOR WINTER BREAK, THE POOL WILL BE OFFERING DOLLAR ADMISSION.

NOW MAYBE I WON’T HAVE TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE IN OTHER TOWNS-(AND THIS WAS WINDSOR)-”OH THEY PUT THAT  BUBBLE UP AGAIN? (LOL). ONLY TIME WILL TELL

MORE LATER.

I JUST RECEIVED THE INVOICES DESCRIBING WHAT FURNITURE WAS PURCHASED THROUGH THIS GIFT ACCOUNT BY THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT.  I WILL DO A COMPLETELY NEW POST BECAUSE THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION. APPARENTLY, THIS “FURNITURE” WAS FOR THE RECORDS DEPT.  THE INITIAL COST WAS OVER $8,000 BUT THEY RECEIVED A “STATE OF CT DISCOUNT” BRINGING IT DOWN TO APPROXIMATELY$7,600. I AM WONDERING IF THIS IS FOR THAT NEW SYSTEM THE POLICE ARE PUTTING IN WHICH ALLOWS THEM TO USE REAL TIME SATELLITE (AS MOST EUROPEAN COUNTRIES ALLOW GOOGLE EARTH TO DO) SO THEY CAN ZOOM IN ON YOUR HOUSE AND SEE WHAT IS GOING ON. DON”T LET THEM FOOL YOU-THAT CAPABILITY IS VERY REAL. IF THEY CAN WATCH FOOTBALL GAMES ON THE BIG SCREEN MONITOR IN THE DISPATCH ROOM-THEN THEY CAN WATCH YOU AND I COMING OUT OF OUR HOMES.

THIS IS THE WRONG TECHNOLOGY FOR THIS SMALL DEPARTMENT.

I WILL ALLOW THE CPD TO ACCESS MY BLOG FOR AT LEAST ANOTHER DAY. THEY SHOULD COUNT THEIR BLESSINGS (BUT THEY WON’T).

I PUT ON THAT OLD DEAN MARTIN SONG “NON-DIMENTICAR” (DON’T FORGET) AND I SWEAR TO GOD-IT SOUNDS LIKE OLD DEANO IS BOMBED IN THIS SONG DOESN’T IT. SORRY. BUT I LOVE DEAN MARTIN.

AU REVOIR

OK IT IS VALENTINES DAY-SO TO BE NICE-I AM ALLOWING A CERTAIN DEPT. IN CHESHIRE CT TO ACCESS MY BLOG. THE HITS ARE GOING UP AND UP-WHY? BECAUSE A CERTAIN DEPT CAN NOW ACCESS-THEY PROBABLY CLICK ON IT ALL DAY LONG AND OTHER DEPTS. CAN’T-WELL, THEN CAN BUT IT TAKES A LITTLE WORK.

BOTTOM LINE-EVERYONE SHOULD BE TREATED THE SAME. IF OTHER DEPTS IN THE TOWN OF CHESHIRE CT CAN’T GET A “GIFT ACCOUNT” THEN NO-ONE SHOULD BE RECEIVING IT-PLAIN AND SIMPLE. HOW DISCOURAGING AND DIS-HEARTENING IT MUST BE FOR OTHER TOWN DEPTS. TO SEE THESE LEDGERS AND KNOW THEY CANNOT HAVE ACCESS TO THIS MONEY. THEY COULD-IF A CERTAIN ESTABLISHMENT IN TOWN PAID THE TAXES THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE PAYING TO THE TOWN-AND NOW THIS SAME TOWN IS WORRYING HOW TO KEEP FROM RAISING TAXES? THE ANSWER IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUR NOSE.  THIS MONEY COULD BE DISTRIBUTED WHERE NEEDED NOT FOR PERKS. IT IS A “GIFT” BUT THE MONEY DID NOT FALL FROM HEAVEN. IT CAME FROM YOU THE TAXPAYER, EVEN IF IT WAS IN A ROUND ABOUT WAY-THIS IS YOUR MONEY.

AS I DID WITH THE POLICE DEPT IN CHESHIRE CT, I AM RUNNING THE CHESHIRE CT FIRE DEPT. GIFT ACCOUNT FROM JUNE TO DECEMBER 2011.

NOW THERE ARE A FEW ITEMS I HAVE QUESTIONS. I HIGHLIGHTED THEM BUT YOU MAY NOT BE ABLE TO READ IT. OH GOD-I WAS PUTTING THE WRONG DATES ON-THESE TWO EXPENDITURE ITEMS OCCURRED ON SEPTEMBER 25, 2011-”SHERATON HOTELS-SAND KEY” FOR $178; AND THEN AGAIN ON  SEPTEMBER 25, 2011 “SHERATON RALEIGH HOTELS” FOR $235.66.

THEN AGAIN ON DECEMBER 25, 2011 THERE IS ANOTHER “SHERATON HOTELS-SAND KEY” FOR $865.42   THERE WAS ALSO “RONCARI EXPRESS VALET” FOR $74.75 AND “ALAMO RENT-A CAR” FOR $541.93.

I REALLY WONDER IF THIS WAS THE “SAND KEY” IN CLEARWATER, FLA. BOY IS IT NICE DOWN THERE. HOW DO I KNOW? MY CONDO IN LARGO, FLA IS LIKE 15 MINUTES FROM THERE. IF IT IS THE SAME PLACE-THESE HOTELS ARE ON GULF BLVD ON THE WAY TO CLEARWATER BEACH. WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE, REMEMBER, I POSTED THE PHOTO OF “SAND KEY” BEACH? BEAUTIFUL. TOO BAD I DID NOT KNOW-THE FD COULD HAVE STAYED IN MY CONDO FOR FREE. ANYTIME FOR THE FD.

I DID PUT A CALL IN TO CHESHIRE CT FIRE CHIEF CASNER SO I CAN FIND OUT WHAT THIS IS.

DO YOU NOTICE THESE “TRIPS” OR “TRAINING” VENTURES ARE NEVER IN AN OBSCURE PLACE LIKE BISMARCK NORTH DAKOTA OR SOUTH DAKOTA OR WYOMING OR MONTANA? THEY ARE USUALLY IN A NICE-WARM PLACE DOWN SOUTH, MOST OF THE TIME. I HAVE BEEN TO NORTH AND SOUTH DAKOTA, WYOMING AND MONTANA AND THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL STATES.

I ALSO JUST SPOKE TO TRIPLE J DOWN IN THE CHESHIRE CT FINANCE DEPT AND WE ARE GOING TO ATTEMPT TO GET THE INVOICES OF WHAT “FURNITURE” THE CHESHIRE CT POLICE DEPT BOUGHT FOR $7,000. MORE ON THAT LATER.
