Preparing for a long cold winter

The earlier the better in most cases. A warm fuzzy gift of an electric blanket...just isnt all that fuzzy when you don't have a place to plug it up!

Over the course of the last six months, I had different conversations with confidential sources...trying to make sense of what was said as opposed to what the real deal was. Who could a consumer trust to represent their needs as well as desires for systems to improve...for them to improve and move out of homelessness into self sufficiency.

To live and lead productive lives, whether in private or putting back into Jacksonville.

What's sad is what's said 'off microphone' by one of our local Council Members, as related by one source requesting to remain confidential:

• "If I hear it's 'for the children' I'm going to throw up."

Thanks. I'll make sure to tell my peers and those serving your community they can black ball you, or they're guilty by association as you for misrepresentation of the people's trust to serve.

Because in Jacksonville, that's the way things used to be done. Not standing up for what you say. Down here, they like to fall on rhetorical quotations such as "The enemy of my enemy is my friend".

Try "The friend of my enemy is my enemy". It makes it easier knowing who your friends are. Snakes always tend to bite the hand that feed them.
