I still feel a little crappy, but much, much better than Monday, and even better than yesterday, so I call that progress. Here's a quick round up of things that I found over the last few days.

April brings us another election and in Cottage Grove, WI it brings us almost full circle. In the April elections bring the Village...

Anything you show up to speak on, plus the following. The rest passes in one motion - bing bang boom!

11 meetings, 4 of them before 5:00.

13 meetings, some at such publicly accessible times at noon, 8:15, 2:30 and 2:30 again. And of course, most items don't have links to the information provided to the committees.

Ugh, vacation, followed by a funeral, and a fundraiser for TRC tonight, sorting out how to make homeless storage work starting Nov. 1 and tiny house village weeks away from opening have made blogging difficult.

Budget at Board of Estimates tonight and a quieter week, since it is last that week of the month.
