ITHACA -- Red, green and purple balloons floated overhead as supporters gathered Saturday in the lobby of the new, 17,500-square-foot home of Alternatives Federal Credit Union.
"This event is about crossing a threshold," said Bill Myers, the credit union's chief executive officer.

Red, green and purple balloons floated overhead...They probably chose those colors to represent Ithaca's core constituencies: communists, environmental whackos and radical gay activists.

Red, green and purple balloons floated overhead There's no doubt that the choice of colors was no accident.
I'm with you as to the significance of the purple balloons, but regarding the red and green, I have this feeling . . . :

God.
I think you have something there.
I bet they just couldn't find black balloons.
Or they had "black" balloons. and the light made them look purple.

A new one-tenth denomination for Ithaca Hours, Ithaca's local currency, was also unveiled at the credit union Saturday. "Ithaca Minutes". Six minutes is about what it takes the average smoker to smoke one cigarette, so when you give someone "Ithaca Minutes", just imagine that that's what you're paying them to do - stand around and smoke cigarettes...

Of course, the cigs probably don't have TOBACCO in them, if you know what I mean ;-)

Ah. Well, those could take a little longer. Might need 0.2 Ithaca Hours for that, plus another 2 Ithaca Hours to account for the time they spend trying to find the phone, the phone book, and the number of the pizza shop ;)

FYI, I stop working in Ithaca this Friday. I'm transplanting to Syracuse. I won't miss Ithaca.
