I am sorry for the blog being down- I had some issues with my webhoster-hopefully everything is OK now.

I had gone to the joint Town Council/Ordinance Committee meeting in the Cheshire Town Hall with the intentions of trying to tape some of the meeting.

Well I did tape quite a bit-nearly a half hour-but then I got upset and left the meeting when the Council and the Ordinance Committee passed this fee schedule for Mixville-as most of you already know about it-$10 for a daily pass for out of towners-$5 for Cheshire residents; I believe $40 for a resident season pass and $120 for an out of towner resident pass.

Then I could not download the tape-and that was the icing on the cake for a perfect evening.

WELL, that is the END OF THIS PARK!!! When they had the fees before-not that many people used it-and the GEESE PROBLEM STARTED!!

When the fees were eliminated-AND THE SOVIET SWIM CENTER OPENED-MIXVILLE WAS TREATED LIKE A CHEAP TART-AND FORGOTTEN ABOUT-THE RESIDENTS OF THIS TOWN FOR THE MOST PART STOPPED GOING-SO OUT OF TOWNERS STARTED TO ENJOY THE PARK AND FOR THE MOST PART IT WAS KEPT CLEAN.

No one can help it if the trash was overflowing from the trash bins-SOMEONE WASN’T DOING THEIR JOB!! Don’t blame the so called “out of towners”

And as my spouse said at the meeting-HOW DO YOU KNOW THESE PEOPLE WERE FROM OUT OF TOWN?? BECAUSE THEY SPOKE WITH AN ACCENT  OR WORE DIFFERENT CLOTHES OR SWORE!!

I SWEAR!! DOES THAT MEAN I AM FROM OUT OF TOWN?? I LISTEN TO LOUD MUSIC-MY CAR AUDIO SYSTEM IS TOP OF THE LINE AND IT CRANKS!! WHAT DOES THIS MEAN??

I really don’t think people from OUT OF TOWN especially those that lived 15 or 20 miles away were coming to Mixville at night and tagging and vandalizing!! I REALLY DON’T!!

The video from Youtube that I ran showing kids sliding down the Mixville hill were more than likely from CHESHIRE because my son recognized some of them.

So we basically re-instated these fees-to keep people out that SOME OF US don’t feel comfortable around because they might speak with an accent or have darker skin!!

And then this PHONY town says they have programs to teach diversity-YEAH GIVE ME A BREAK!! WHAT TYPE OF DIVERSITY-PEOPLE THAT FIT YOUR IMAGE??

There is an old saying-if you did not grow up around a diverse population-YOU CAN NEVER ACCEPT AND FEEL COMFORTABLE AND IT IS TRUE, especially for many in this town-NOT ALL-but many!!!

But what is really sad-is now Cheshire residents who pay property tax (I just got like four envelopes in the mail today for the car property tax bill) will now have to pay to USE THE POOL and MIXVILLE!!

WHY??

Most towns-remember, these are the towns that put their pools in a SCHOOL!! do not charge for use of their parks or pools-Bridgeport does not charge residents to use Seaside Park or Beardsley Park-YOUR PROPERTY TAX PAYS FOR IT-YOU GET A STICKER WHEN YOU PAY YOUR PROPERTY TAX AND YOU AFFIX IT TO THE WINDOW OF YOUR CAR ALLOWING YOU ENTRANCE INTO THE PARKS!!

Everyone else PAYS!! EVEN PEOPLE WHO LIVE IN BRIDGEPORT BUT DON’T PAY ANY PROPERTY TAX-NO STICKER-YOU PAY!!

THAT IS FAIR!!

That is what Cheshire should have done-but-no-they would rather cut off their nose to spite themselves!!

At least fix the park up if you are going to charge people to use it-rake the sand on the beach-get rid of the weeds, get rid of the soggy fields and then maybe the fees MIGHT BE JUSTIFIED!!

But what makes it even worse is that now “for security reasons” a person cannot purchase a daily or season pass-as they can at the pool-right at the location-THEY HAVE TO TRAVEL ALL THE WAY DOWN ROUTE 10 to the PARK AND REC OFFICE-AND THEY ARE ONLY OPEN DURING THE WEEK.

HOW (in) CONVENIENT!!

I know if I go there again-I am NOT PAYING!! AND I AM BRINGING MY PROPERTY TAX BILLS AS PROOF OF MORE THAN PAYING AN SEASONAL ENTRANCE FEE TO THIS PARK.

As far as my friends from B-Port-they told me they will come, but I will have to get the passes-AND I AM GETTING RESIDENT PASSES FOR THEM-SO THERE!!

HMM-SEE THE LOOPHOLE??

Now in other news-As most of you know by now-Farrah Fawcett passed away on Thursday-I believe she was 61. She fought a courageous battle with cancer-in fact I did see a few shows that documented her struggle and it was very touching-SO SO SAD.

I remember when I first moved to Cheshire-I had heard a rumor that Farah Fawcett ALMOST bought a home in Mountaincrest!! So there was Cheshires’ ALMOST claim to fame!!

And what is even worse and so shocking-is the sudden death of my FAVORITE MUSICAL ARTIST OF ALL TIMES-MICHAEL JACKSON.

I loved Michael Jackson-I featured MANY of his music videos on my blog under “Featured Videos”

I saw him several times in concert-I LOVED HIS MUSIC-I did not care about his personal life-nor did I believe the accusations-HE WAS THE SPOKESMAN FOR MY GENERATION. IT IS VERY HARD TO TAKE-PEOPLE MY AGE GREW UP WITH HIM FROM HIS BEGINNINGS WITH THE JACKSON 5-ALL THE WAY TO THE PRESENT DAY.

I remember in the early 80′s when the Thriller album came out-that was all you saw in any department store you went to-THE THRILLER ALBUM EVERYWHERE-THE ENTIRE RECORD DEPARTMENT WAS JUST COVERED WITH THIS ALBUM!!

I will NEVER forget that.

Michael broke down barriers-he was the FIRST Black artist to be featured on MTV!!

If you ever saw this man in concert-you left a changed person-IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE!! He was made for the stage and was only truly happy when he was performing.

I think all of this stress over the past several years-the accusations-his lifestyle-DID HIM IN-I DON’T CARE WHAT ANYONE SAYS-THE MUSIC WORLD WILL NEVER BE THE SAME!!

I am very very sad tonight-because of his passing-and because of how sudden it was-we must remember that our lives can be taken at any moment!! Go out and live because you never know-you cannot take for granted that you will wake up tomorrow-you may not!!

Michael left a legacy that will NEVER be equaled-NOT WITH THE CRAP MUSIC I HEAR TODAY-I AM SORRY!!

Here is what I believe-are Michael Jacksons  TWO GREATEST PERFORMANCES AND HIS GREATEST SONG EVER!! THE END OF THIS SONG IS JUST UNBELIEVABLE!!
