Wednesday==>Mayor Mike Is Taking Heat!!

On this Wednesday morning it is bright and cold in The Big Apple, The Greatest City In The World.

There is still lots of snow and ice on sidewalks and roads and there is major anger in the outer boroughs over the failure of the city to bring snow plows into the areas. Of course, the Mayor is taking the heat (no pun intended) and the headlines are pretty brutal:

“SNOW EXCUSES! - Mayor Mike defends plowing amid outrage.” The Daily News.

"COLD COMFORT - Mike finally mad over blizzard blunders.” New York Post

"CITY STRUGGLES AS STORM IMPACT CHASTENS MAYOR - Many Streets Unplowed-the Council Will Hold Hearings.” New York Times

In Manhattan the major thoroughfares are passable but vast stretches of the outer boroughs remain untouched, leaving tens of thousands of residents unable to get to work etc. If I lived out "there" I would be upset too.

Last night Billi Pod stayed in and watched pro and college football involving teams he cared nada about - oh well ... at least he was warm and back home.

Tonight’s entertainment event --

7:30==>NEW YORK PHILHARMONIC @ Lincoln Center - works by Tchaikovsky, Sibelius, Vivaldi, DeBussy and Ravel (Bolero). Really looking forward to this.

Just renewed my 41-game Yankee season ticket package even though I am still pissed about their decision to reduce our right(s) to purchase the same seat for all post-season games. Oh well nothin’ I can do about it ... so ...

Now, to close with what you loyal and faithful readers are doubtlessly anxiously awaiting ...

Musings from THE MIND OF BILLI POD (a memoir in progress):

“From outer space Illinois looks like chewed tobacco.”

GO YANKEES AND GO GATORS!!
