Saturday, Jan. 15
I think I read somewhere that statistically the average temperature starts to increase after Jan. 15. Of course, the weather forecast that calls for sub-zero temps in the coming week belie that. But, it is January.
Busy day today...work, then the fishing show, then 2 football games with the Bulls and Hawks as well. I have my spot on the couch staked out.
Read an interesting article buried in the Tribune. Because of gross mismangement and malfeasance by the board, the former head of Metra was able to embezzle millions of dollars, and was only discovered when he committed suicide. so the board of directors has scrambled to explain how they were duped, and has engaged an outside audit firm to help them implement controls to prevent this from happening again....and the contract with the audit firm will go from its current $100 grand to $900 grand per year. Honestly, you can't make this stuff up. Rather than replace the board, who has shown no ability to run a public utility (public transit), they spend an obscene amount of money to look to an outside firm to show them how to run the business. You can't overstate the brilliance of these public officials, can you? easy to spend money when there is no accountability for it.
enjoy the games or whatever it is you will be wasting your time doing today.
