Otto von Bismarck (1815-1898) once observed that...
"Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made."
And after this week's tumultuous political finagling, if one doesn't have a strong stomach, it's best not to watch how deals are done in the smoke-filled backrooms of Southampton Town. More...

"The trailer I saw parked behind Waldbaum's yesterday was a Pathmark trailer! "
(So this is a "Yes, dear!" blog entry.) More...
...as Miss Peggy Lee famously sang, "Is That All There Is?"
Sure, the re-furbished Waldbaum's parking lot on Sunset Avenue is looking pretty spiffy, but do the suits from Montvale really think that's all there is to be done? More...
...and the remainder of Waldbaum's parking lot on Sunset Avenue was completed Thursday. More...

Comes under the heading of "It Would Have Been Obvious If I'd Thought About It," we were watching the pre-All-Star Game hoopla just now, and President Barack Obama threw out the ceremonial first ball.

So it seems that whoever told Lisa Finn that there was some "controversy" brewing about this past Village election, might have an inside track with the rabble who were rousing last evening. More...

Happy Birthday, a day late, to America and my niece Laura.
And a timely Happy Birthday to my sister Gale and my first cousin Bea.
And a big bouquet to Jackie and Bill over on "the crick" who are this day celebrating their 56th Anniversary, quite an accomplishment.
