Spring Sprung

Yes, it is offically spring, but it feels like November. Last Thursday spoiled me. On Saturday, my son and I had breakfast together and talked about the current world situation. Two things we agreed on. The situation in Japan is very bad. The fact the emperor was on TV urging the Japanese people to stay strong means the government is nervous. Unlike the Queen of England, the Emperor of Japan does not flit about doing sweet things; he is rarely seen and seldom heard. We also agreed the Americans should stay out of the difficulties in the Middle East. It is time to let the people living there solve their own problems. We decided to have lunch at a great Mexican restaurant here in Trenton - Las Fronteras Cantina on the corner of South Clinton Avenue and Beatty Street. The food is great and the prices reasonable. During the warm weather, you can eat outside. We got home to find out that the American, British, and French were bombing the hell out of Libya. Suddenly Trenton's problems looked very small. We still do not have a budget. The administration continues to tread water. Taxes will go up. Municipal services will go down. I wonder if we, Trentonians, really want to solve our problems. Enjoy the State of the City message.
