Wasn’t it just the 4th of July? How can school be starting already? How come summer goes by so fast and winter is so slow?
Those are a few of the questions I always ask at this time of year. I don’t love the heat, but definitely prefer it over the cold. I love the thought of football, pumpkins, Halloween and cool nights. I just hate snow after Christmas, short days and being stuck inside the house. I like to be more active.
So the 4th of July was nearly two months ago, school starts Monday and summer never lasts long enough. Just shocking how fast time flew by.
Of course this weekend is the Latin Festival and Dozynki. In September we will have the Car Show downtown and Main Street USA. Then Halloween in October.
There is a lot to keep busy around the City.
I need to comment on the new sidewalks downtown. Whoever did them, did a fantastic job. It makes the City look well-groomed. Looking sharper increases the desire for businesses to come to town, which of course leads to jobs. It was all done through State grants which makes it even better. Little things like better sidewalks are huge to our City. Appreciate all the improvements.
If you own a dog I hope you read our story on page 1. I would hate to lose my dog. I have a fence, but still I watch her. If you find a dog, please don’t keep it. It is family to someone else. Try to find the rightful owner. If they don’t show up, the dog is yours.
It is also useful to get a micro-chip and be sure tags are on the dog. Get rabies and parvo virus shots so the animal does not get sick if it is lost.
I have seen so many lost dog signs around town. It breaks my heart.
I found a cute joke on Facebook this week. I have shortened it a bit.
“A man is at the park and sees an elderly man, apparently blind, fishing in what appears to be a rose bush. He feels bad for him and offers to buy him a drink at the bar around the corner. Sitting there drinking beer with the man he says to the elderly man ‘so how many fish have you caught today’. The elderly man looks up and says ‘counting you, six’.”
Until next week don’t fall for baited tactics and keep reading New Britain’s #1 Most Trusted Newspaper!
