We had a late call, then I hung at the station (our village polling spot) to see who our new mayor was. Happy to say I got my pick. So nice of no one in class to notice the teacher took a 4 hour nap today. I think I got too much sleep now.

I was JUST out of camera range last night. I didn't even see the pic taken. I was busy texting out the winner to my homies.

Will they be trading Sanchez or will one of them sit the bench? Weird.

I am hearing on my FB account that the Jets training camp is in Cortland, near enough to me. Everyone is planning a road trip this summer already.

Tebow will be the backup. Remember, for all the hype, he was just the rookie QB of an 8-8 team.

With Sanchez the reigning Superbowl champion, that makes sense. Still, the draw locally will be Tebow. He has some star power despite that.

In the big picture the Rebuild party wanted to rebuild after the flood, the Citizen one wanted to abolish the village entirely.

Is that pronounced like “oh, we go” crazy when you spell our name wrong?

Really? Well mine was just a typo, sort of - because I didn’t confuse them since I didn’t know they existed! lol I can see how that could be confusing though to those in the area when someone types the wrong name
