Oops!?!?!!!???

Be careful about what you pray for….

I have been informed that I have been appointed to the Pueblo Area Council Of Governments (PACOG) Citizens Advisory Council (CAC) for Transportation.

I received the notification of my appointment by the council last Friday.

I’ve been in something of a state of bemusement since then, as I gave my chances of appointment a probabilty of less than .1. [Note: For the non-math-inclined less than 10%; closer to 1-in-100.

I do love practicing the skills necessary to put things in their proper place at the proper time. That’s what logistics is all about. The military teaches it with a certain sense of ‘fervor’. It gives you a sense that peoples’ lives might, actually, heaven forefend…depend upon it.

So be it….

...I’m appointed. I’ll serve here for the duration; a year. I’ll find it educational and an interesting exercise of all the skills, that ALL of you, whether you, like-it-or-not, have paid to equip me. [Note: I have to admit that I thoroughly enjoyed the Army’s Logistics Executive Development Course (LEDC). I got so bent out of shape that whatever it was that came out of it was so much better than what went in.]

I hope to apply everything I’ve been given, by the Army and authorities higher than that, is exorcised, properly….

Regards….

1. does anyone have any ideas about West Street, especially the area between 19th and 21st? drive by and you will see what i mean. i have contacted the police, traffic and zoning. they are-so they tell me- unable to mandate weed control, parking or general up-keep. the neighborhood looks downright scary!thanks.

   RE: Code Enforcement

   The police can claim to not be involved with code enforcment, vis-a-vis weed control, parking, trash and such. However, as I recall, they ARE responsible.

   I’d recommend that the next time you contact them you make sure you get the identity of whomever you are talking to and if they claim it’s not their job.

   As for buildings that are going through what looks like ‘demolition by neglect’, the point of contact is Regional Building, at 543-0002.

   As a matter of fact, I just dropped a dime on the house at 1743 Grand with Regional Buiilding. I’ve promised the guy I talked to digital images of the situation there.

   Regards,

   Chuck
