The price of gasoline is rising at an average rate of more than a penny per gallon each day, and it is not a problem of supply and demand; just more corporate and foreign greed. Someone in a powerful office needs to see that alternative energy research is removed completely from the hands and purse strings of oil companies and placed in public trust where it can be overseen. Curing the dependence on oil, be it domestic or foreign, will solve a big portion of this country's economic problems.

Again it rains. Yesterday was cool to mild, but the sun shone brilliantly all day long; it was the first day of fair weather in nearly two weeks. Tomorrow is supposed to be pretty before returning to several more days of rain and clouds.

The Johnson City Development Authority has officially blessed the new undertaking located between East Tennessee State University and downtown as University Edge. More than 20 years and billions of taxpayer dollars (including yours; a lot of the money came from the US Treasury via grants) have been negligently spent in downtown revitalization with little to show for it except an ugly public library building. Actually, this new project of having housing and shopping for students and faculty just may work, but the original vision of JCDA will have been abandoned. I suppose if you cannot bring the people to downtown, just create a new downtown closer to the people ad hope a few of them will eventually trickle into the original. The Doofus and McGoofus show appear once a month at JCDA meetings.

Some University of Tennessee sports fans are perturbed because the new football coach has recruited and will allow a convicted rapist to play ball this fall. These are the same people whom were aglee to see a convicted idiot ruin the country for four years, and then give him four more years to destroy our economy, heritage, and good name in the world of nations. Shame on you hypocrites!

The gas hike is a complete scam.
We need your rain. We had rain on the Tuesday after Easter and that is it for the last month. Now with the temp getting to 90 we are goig to be dealing with some big problems with no water.
Tough call on the football player.
When does one actually fully repay his debt to society.
April was the 3rd driest one on record for us, but so far, May has been very wet, having picked up a month's average in just 8 days.
The girl he raped (he was 13 and she is his cousin) says she has forgiven him, but who knows. Bush raped an entire nation and world for 8 yrs and is not even being admonished for it.
