Our thanks to Dr. Kevin Sheets who cleared walks last night throughout the neighborhood with a snow blower . . . Our neighborhood was all but shut down tonight around six o'clock when the odor of gas was detected. Emergency vehicles everywhere, lights blazing. The leak apparently is real and located in the street on Briggs between Second and Green. One would assume the street will be closed to traffic as repairs are made, so drivers take warning . . . Got a nice shipment of new cookbooks today; Bob the Chef is checking them out; so far they get his approval . . . Suzi Marsico called to comment on my recent post about what one calls the Governor's home on Front Street. She explained that it is a matter of choice for the resident and not a Democrat/Republican thing. Governor Ridge also referred to it as The Residence . . . All the talk today was about the new House Majority Leader Mike Turzai and his heavy-handed conduct during a committee meeting; this fiasco is a YouTube hit and a disgrace to all Pennsylvanians. If you are the only person not to have seen it yet you can access it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qm3seSNiOdI Even my Right-leaning FaceBook friend was appalled. The names that have been applied to Turzai are too brutal to repeat here; should he ever aspire to higher office this surely will be a great weapon for the opposition. Everyone is awaiting a comment from Governor Corbett but there has been nothing to my knowledge at this writing . . . Bob's brother, Bill, has a wonderful hideaway in the upper reaches of the state. Having been a city dweller for forty years I find the idea of isolation romantic--at least for a weekend. Bob doesn't share that feeling--especially in the snow . . .
