Hi Wes,
Great to bike ride with you last night on the Lake Worth Thursday night ride. I wanted to let you and your friends/listeners, blog readers know that next Tuesday night at 6:30p.m. the tile painters are meeting at The Scottish Rites Masonic Lodge dining room, at the corner of 22nd Ave. N. and D Streets in Lake Worth, 33460. This ambitious project will be the central focus of the living vertical wall which we are constructing in the garden. The mural is going to be 20' long by 10' tall, almost 1000 hand painted tiles. We appreciate and value all community assistance in the project. Some painters get to learn new skills painting tiles with underglaze, then they are glazed with two coats of glaze and fired in the kiln. We also will so appreciate people with kilns and knowledge of ceramic work, but not necessary. Great community project....betadolphin@yahoo.com for more information.

So much for kooky conspiracy theories.
Lake Worth Herald Editorial, April 25, 2013 Find Another Place Leave Me Alone!
(Used with permission)
What is this world in which we live? Is it cruel? Is it loving? Is it safe? Is it....
Just read excerpts from an author named Ruth O'Brien. She is listed as author and professor. She is worried we are too mean to terrorists.
She wrote, "This said, the mortuary pictures of the older brother of the two are extremely disturbing, raising questions as to whether the Boston Police Department captured him with too much force."
Just a minute, while I would expect something like this to come from a couple former politicians in Lake Worth, it makes me realize THEY are everywhere. The fact his brother ran him over doesn't have any bearing on the fact his body is a mess.
Personally, I don't think you can be "not nice" enough to a terrorist, and further, I don't think you can be "not nice" enough to anyone who would sympathize with one.
Before you get on my case about freedom of speech, let's put it in its place. Freedom of Speech does not give one license to be obscene. Human decency does not lead one to cheer for a cruel murderer under any name, including terrorist. Freedom of Speech does not allow anyone to say "bomb" in an airport. Freedom of Speech in this case is Freedom of Idiocy.
Three innocent bystanders dead and scores wounded, an MIT police officer dead, carjacking and throwing lead at many other police officers, and these people think we should arrest them gently and maybe use fleece lined handcuffs, AND, take the blame for his brother running him over with a stolen vehicle.
If this "author" came to this area to speak, who might you think would be the first few in line to listen to her rants. They would probably camp outside for days like shoppers during the holidays.
To think the citizens of Lake Worth ever elected someone like minded with O'Brien puts a lump in my throat.
In March, the fine citizens of Lake Worth will once again go to the polls to elect our "leaders" and without doubt, some of THEM will be among the names on the ballot. They are out to systematically destroy government, and personally, I don't have any room for them in my hometown. Sympathizers are just as bad. Tell them to go away.
Lake Worth is financially strapped. Current elected officials and staff are working diligently to make things better. The previous commission managed to blow through nearly $9 million of reserves without improving a damn thing. Let's wake up and smell the coffee.

Community Post: South-Central Palm Beach County » Blog Archive » Lake Worth Utilities to separate water and electric bills
You might say that this is a shell game. If you are still paying with one payment coupon, what is the real difference? And are we paying for two mailings per month instead of one or just two bills in one envelope? Click title for link. Also note that this is from something called the Community Post and Mr. Howard is referred to as a quasi-blogger.

Pyongyang's 'hotel of doom' delayed again | CNN Travel
Opening of a hotel here seems to be almost as problematic as in Pyongyang. If you click title for the link, beware that you will see a 105 story pyramid-like building. It has been under-construction since 1989.

Lake Worth finds its history buried under the city | www.mypalmbeachpost.com
This is a cool find, but a grim reminder of the age and condition of our city's infrastructure. When is Second Avenue North gong to be officially two-way again? I know that we are waiting on the proper signalization at the RR tracks. The traffic flow around that intersection is confusing, given the traffic light configuration, signage and pavement markings.

Deja vu all over again?
It appears that City Manager Stanton is again in full retreat mode regarding a desire for her own police department. This from FaceBook today:
The Growing Trend That Should Terrify Walmarts Everywhere
More evidence that the trend is more people moving to urbanized areas, such as the city of Lake Worth. Are we ready? Are there other urban areas that are more attractive? Click title for link.
