Yes, this is a feature.
From: Tom Harrington (tph.shell.rmii.com)
Yeah, but it's a BUGGED feature! Little do the priests know that I've been secretly taping the whole process for the last year! Just wait 'till the Weekly World News gets wind of this!
Oh my god, I had no idea it was so complex. No wonder Kinzler almost never has the time to post here.
The Oracular software uses an AI subroutine (written in Perl) to rate each incoming question for quality. Then, when it's time for you to get a question to answer, you get one of corresponding quality, although that can be affected by a number of other factors. For example, if you have ever asked a question about computer software, you're more likely to get questions about plumbing, and if you've asked a question about woodchucks, you're more likely to get questions about famous bands.
Most importantly, if you ask questions about the Oracle itself, you'll be put on the "rejectee" list, whose members get nothing but questions which have already been rejected by three or more incarnations. (The only way to get off of the Oracle's "rejectee" list is to get a score of at least 3.6 in the digests. If you're on this list, the only thing to do is to keep trying!)
You can see the Oracle's rating of your question (or answer) by decoding the Message-ID header. (See the documentation for your mail program to find out how to view this header.) The last several characters before the .-sign hold the ranking information, although I don't have my chart handy to tell you what each character means. AA is the worst, and ZZ is the best, though. And if any digit is a seven, that indicates a priest should double-check the question personally.
(By the way, I'm not supposed to tell you this, but the quality control software can be easily fooled by misspellings. For example, the person who accidentally spelled "oracle" in lower case in the grovel to 883-10 was sent a dozen high-quality questions before the priests caught the mistake. Although that particular bug has been fixed, it's still possible to get really great questions from the Oracle if you misspell certain words in your question.)
"Hau mooche woode woold e woudjuck shuck eef e wouldduck kood zhook woolde?"
Have fun with the Oracle. I'm sure you can tell that I do!
You mean, like you and him play computer games together or something? I'd like to have fun with the Oracle but he won't let me into the mansion since... well.. let's just say I don't go over there any more.

I'm bloody dying from envy here. Back in my days I had to make my own computer from a kit shipped by Altair, then put the magic smoke in, then hit one rock over another in order to make zeroes. And I don't want to mention the need to manually enter those 1's and 0's over the front panel toggle switches.
(hey, it's not as if we were going to talk on it or anything). And then we had to read it on paper terminals with ribbons that hadn't been changed since 1951.
Ooooh, you lucky bastard! What I wouldn't have given for a terminal that printed actual characters on real paper! All we had was 8-column punched paper tape, and we had to punch the holes one by one using a handheld paper punch. While listening to the telephone line and demodulating by ear, we had to punch one hole at a time, and get them all lined up perfectly. After the sequence of characters was punched, we visually inspected it and translated each row of holes back into an ASCII character.
And no paper tape reader, nor a teletyper - I remember how happy I was when I figured that radio emissions from a program would interfere with a certain radio frequesncy (98.7 FM), and managed to make the thing play "Hard days' night" in one tone.
Those days. And I remeber how happy I was when I have seen a first Apple. Not Apple II, but Apple. *That* was a machine! It had a display. It had a keyboard. It had easy interface, so I could design my own expansion cards. It had 8 slots for the cards!!! Boy, that's a dream machine.
And if you tell that to kids today, they won't believe you.
Nope, nope, nope.
When I look at this nice 8086 XT running Dos 2.0 I can't belive how much the computers have changed in the past few years. And the roomy 5" amber monitor! That's a luxury - I remember having to determine a state in which the machines were from 8 color LED's in front. Kids this days - they talk about some crazy thing called 486, Pentium, even Sexium.

As I recall, the organized opposition to the Lemur FAQ didn't begin until Furr mounted his campaign to instruct everyone on the proper way to use the Oracle. Naturally it wasn't long before he started appearing in digests in rather unflattering roles. Finally he took the hint and hasn't been back. I presume he's still on Usenet somewhere, mostly because I can't imagine him ever leaving, but I don't know if he ventures beyond the lemur newsgroup anymore.

Uh, oh.
This isn't good. I was only goofing off a couple days ago. I just wanted to ask the Oracle one stupid question. That's all. Maybe two.
Now, I'm afraid I might be addicted to the Oracle.
Don't I have enough things to do? I've got a degree to earn. But no, now I've got to spend 10-15 minutes a day attempting to ask witty questions, and 20-40 minutes a day answering them. This is scary. (However, no time is wasted. I quit watching reruns of Quincy M.E. and Happy Days. Now only am I making about 20 minutes out of the deal, but my quality of life is much better.)
Anyway, I figured I'd warn you to remember that the next time you ask the Oracle a question, he might use me as the incarnation of his infinite wisdom. If you've been looking for a reason to quit using the Oracle, start running now and don't look back.
I have to say these first couple of days have been rocky ones. I apologize for messing up some of the Oracle traditions. The mistakes I have made are too numerous to list, but here are the more severe faux pas that I feel obligated to personally atone for:
I realize now that answering every obscure question with "Hell, I don't know. - Orrie" was inappropriate. Please accept my apologies.
Although I picked up on the Oracle's tradition to indicate what the supplicant owes at the end of the message, I understand now that reporting "You owe the Oracle three hard-core pornagraphic JPEGs. E-mail them to gfalken.pnx.com." was uncalled-for abuse. (And it doesn't work.) Please accept my apologies.
I now understand that it was a mistake for me to respond with "Go ahead. The world's crowded enough as it is. What are you waiting for?" was not an acceptable response to the clearly serious suicide note I got yesterday. Please accept my apologies.
I suppose that I should have read some Oracularities before attempting to tackle a dozen questions. This could have helped me avioid such embarassing messages as the "Zadoc? Who the hell's Zadoc? - The Internet Oracle" incident. Please accept my apologies.
Just... just be careful, everybody. I'm here now. I'm not going to go away.
PS. I promised myself I would lurk on this newsgroup until I got into the Oricularities. Two days later, there are my words of arguable wit and wisdom, for all to see and fear. I hope the priests responsible know they've just opened the floodgates.

He follows the example of the Rabbi, walking across the water and returning. The Oracular Priest says, 'I have to pee too!' He stands up, unzips his pants, and pees over the side of the boat. He sits down. The other holy men stare in shock. The Oracular Priest says, 'Yeah, I know about the rocks in the water, but if I get wet out here in this boat, the Oracle would be tempted to Zot me with a bolt of lightning."

Kitchen Tool of the Week - Potato Ricer
I love my Potato Ricer. I love it so much that for this week, "Ingredient of the Week" has turned into "Kitchen Tool of the Week." You can get new Potato Ricers at any kitchen supply store, but I found mine (for $5) at a yard sale in Vermont about 10 years ago. It works perfectly, so I haven't seen any need to upgrade, but I'm sure the new ones work just as well.
Potato ricers make the fluffiest mashed potatoes imaginable. Tonight, Dylan peeled a few Russets and we boiled them until they were tender. I then drained them in a colander, and pressed them through my ricer back into the pot. Don't they look just like rice?
To turn riced potatoes into mashed potatoes, you just add some liquid. I added half a stick of butter and some skim milk. I also added salt.
The mashed potatoes were accompanied by Peppered Maple Turkey Breast. This turned out very well and was incredibly easy. Leftovers will make an awesome sandwich tomorrow for either myself or Dylan. I would have had leftovers for both of us, but my father-in-law joined us for dinner. I was glad - I'll take company over leftovers any time.
Here is a photo of the plated dinner:
Yes, we had peas once again. Dylan pulled them out of the freezer, and I didn't dare argue with a four-year-old who is actually requesting a vegetable.
Lauren said she wanted to see what I would make with squash, beets and goat cheese. Stay tuned for tomorrow night's dinner to find out!

When I was in my twenties, I was obsessed with Gwyneth Paltrow. I was 25 and feeling lost career-wise when she had her first real star turn in Emma. I saw the movie opening weekend and read any profile of her that I could get my hands on. Every time I finished a story, I felt like I was in 6th grade all over again — eyeing the popular girl from afar consumed by an envy I couldn't completely understand. If only I could find a career as creative and as fulfilling as Gwynnie's! I still had that before-30 belief that if I just worked a little harder then maybe I'd still have a shot at being a movie star and going to the Oscars in a pink Ralph Lauren frock. (Any professional achievement that happened after 30 in my mind didn't count. At that point it seemed expected, un-special.) The fact that I could barely give a wedding toast without panicking for weeks leading up to the big day, or that I hadn't acted since I played Adelaide in my 6th-grade production of Guys & Dolls were small details to be worked out later.
When I turned 30, two things happened. I was hired at a start-up called Real Simple, where I was somehow given permission to edit essays by writers like Ellen Gilchrist and Katharine Weber in the morning and, in the afternoon, scribble my red pen all over manuscripts about garlic and corkscrews and cookbooks. There was no way that the cast and crew of Shakespeare in Love was having as much fun as I was. But by that point it almost didn't matter — because the second thing that happened to me that year was that I had my first baby. The search for meaning (professional and otherwise) was over.

Pacific Central Station in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada is a railway station which acts as the western terminus of Via Rail's cross-country The Canadian to Toronto and the northern terminus of Amtrak's Cascades to Seattle and Portland.
Pacific Central Station is adjacent to the Vancouver SkyTrain Main Street – Science World Station. Westbound trains go into downtown near hotels, businesses and other attractions. End of the line is at Waterfront Station (formerly the Canadian Pacific station), offering connections to the Seabus, West Coast Express commuter trains, and other bus lines. Eastbound locals head into the suburbs, such as Burnaby and New Westminster.
The station also provides intercity coach service, being the head office and bus depot of Pacific Coach Lines[4] and the main Vancouver terminal for Greyhound Canada.[5] Also Malaspina bus, which serves the Sunshine Coast communities of Gibsons, Sechelt and Powell River. The station is wheelchair-accessible and is staffed with full Via services.
The Amtrak Cascades provides two round trips from Vancouver. One goes to Seattle, Washington; the other continues on to Portland, Oregon. Rather than stopping for an immigration inspection at the border, as happens with the Adirondack to Montreal and Maple Leaf to Toronto, Amtrak passengers go through Canadian customs at the station upon arrival. Passengers bound for the United States go through United States border preclearance prior to boarding in Vancouver.
The Rocky Mountaineer operated from Pacific Central Station until moving to the nearby Rocky Mountaineer Station in 2005.
The Rocky Mountaineer Plans to use the Pacific Central Station again for their new Coastal Passage route in 2013. The Pacific Central Station will be used for the international trip section between Vancouver and Seattle. While the route section between Vancouver to Jasper and Banff will operate out of the Rocky Mountaineer Station.
The building was designated a heritage railway station in 1991.[1] On November 8, 2010, the Canadian government announced a $5.1 million plan to rebuild parts of the station, including refurbishing windows, masonry, and the roof of the building.[6]

This post is brought to you by my friend Dawn who blogs at Vanilla Sugar. She's sharing her magical Raspberry White Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies with you. Consider yourself lucky!
I'm thrilled to be a guest blogger for my good friend Jill. I've known her for almost four years — we go back to when she first started blogging. I was drawn to her like a cursing moth to gentle flame. Oh how I loved her swearing, her candidness, and her ability to get everything off her back with a huge dose of humor and honesty. Funny, she calls me a kick ass baker and I call her a kick ass mom.
Sure we have a lot in common: Humor, food, hating skinny models, food, eating all things chocolate, shopping, beach, food, writing about things that piss us off…you know all the usual. But there's one thing we also have in common: Her husband.
Can you guys keep a secret? Promise? I'll just come out and say it: Jill's husband keeps proposing to me. Yep. Every time I post a new photo of my latest recipe creation to my fans on Facebook, there is her hubby, popping up, asking me to send him a sample box of goodies in exchange for marriage. Sure, he tells me Jill won't mind, that it's ok, he knows what he's doing, yadda, yadda, yadda….The photo I posted of homemade coconut truffles came with another marriage proposal and this time it came with a promise of a summer home, too.
So, for him and for Jill and for all of you guys, I present you with a recipe that's sure to please…
Scary Mommy Raspberry White Chocolate Thumbprint Cookies from vanillasugarblog.com
1 cup + 2 ½ TB all purpose flour
1/4 cup Dutch processed cocoa
1 & ¾ sticks (7 ounces) unsalted butter, room temp
1/2 cup powdered sugar, sifted
1 and ½ ts pure vanilla extract
2 TB (or more) of whole milk
¼ ts salt.
½ cup + 2 TB good quality white chocolate chips or chunks
¼ cup (more or less) raspberry coulis (see below)
Raspberry Coulis:
1 pint fresh raspberries
2 TB granulated sugar, or to taste
1 TB fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Cook notes: The raspberry coulis can be made a couple days ahead of time. Simply keep it in the fridge, tightly covered until ready to use. When ready to use, please let it come to room temperature before using. The melted white chocolate will seize up if you add a cold coulis to it. If you don't want to make the coulis you could easily just fill the thumbprints with melted white or dark chocolate. Or even any flavored Hershey kiss would work. It is hard to tell when the cookies are done because of their dark color. They won't brown, but look for dry cookies or cracked. Don't bake them any longer than 10 minutes! Mine were done in 8 minutes.
For the coulis: Put all the ingredients in medium sauce pan and cook over medium (not high!) heat until fruit is mostly dissolved and mixture has reduced a bit as well as thickened up; about 30 minutes or more. Strain through a fine mesh sieve, pushing down on the solids. You might have to let this sit for a while to finish draining—it takes a while. Don't forget to scrape off the bottom side of the sieve for all the juicy, thickened pulp. Discard the seeds. Taste and add more sugar or lemon juice if needed; it shouldn't need anything. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve..
For the cookies: Sift flour and cocoa together into a medium bowl. With a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, cream butter and sugar on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes.
Add the vanilla and salt; continue beating until blended and smooth, about 1 minute more.
Add the flour-cocoa mixture and mix on low speed until a soft dough forms, about 1 minute. Then add in the whole milk—it might not need the whole 2 tablespoons, but use enough to help it come together. This is a dry dough, so don't add in any more than 2 TB. Wrap dough in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator until firm enough to roll into balls, about 60 minutes (or longer).
Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the oven to 350°F. Line two cookie sheets with parchment or nonstick baking liners. Using your palms, roll heaping teaspoonfuls of the dough into 1-inch balls. Or 2-inch balls. Arrange them 2 inches apart on the lined sheets.
With a lightly floured thumb or index finger-tip, press straight down into the middle of each ball almost to the cookie sheet to make a deep well. (Or use the end of a thick-handled wooden spoon.)
Bake one sheet at a time until the tops of the cookies look dry, 8 to 10 minutes.
Gently redefine the indentations with the end of a wooden spoon.
Let the cookies cool on the sheet for 5 minutes and then let them cool completely on racks.
If you've made the coulis ahead of time, now is the time to take it out of the fridge and let come to room temperature.
For the filling: Put the white chocolate over a double boiler over low heat. Melt slowly and keep stirring until melted. Once melted add in the raspberry coulis, slowly, a bit at a time, all the while stirring. You can use as much or a little raspberry coulis as you like. The coulis is strong, so a ¼ cup is plenty.
Using a small spoon simply fill each cookie with a teaspoon amount of filling. You could also pour the chocolate mixture into a pastry bag or plastic bag and pipe in the filling. I found a small spoon to work wonders. Cool completely before serving or storing. Should make: if you rolled them into 1-inch balls about 34-36 cookies; if you rolled them into 2-inch balls about 16-19 cookies.
Scary good.

The bug continues to bite… city illustrations in Rapido's Next Stop
Posted on | June 18, 2012 | 14 Comments
Rapido's Next Stop by Jean-Luc Fromental, illustrated by Joëlle Jolivet is the latest dose of medicinal reading, helping me manage my chronic condition (Biblio-urbanitus: Having a huge weakness for illustrations of cities).
A lift-the-flap book (translated from French and created by the same team as behind that all time favourite of ours which is 365 Penguins), Rapido's Next Stop follows a day in the life of a a delivery van.
Rapido travels the length and breadth of a continental looking city making a huge variety of deliveries – from globes to cash registers, baseballs to balls of wool. At first glance the book appears to be virtually wordless, but then the reader discovers the flaps, and inside each flap a little game:
Short rhymes are completed with pictures, as if written in a code: It's just one of the many playful aspects of this book. Published in a large format (bigger than A4 – which is always exciting even if it makes it tricky to put on shelves), the illustrations are especially appealing; whilst they are bold (with lots of thick black lines and sparing use of just 4 colours), they are also detailed. The flap locations on each page are not immediately obvious and searching for them is another game-like part of this book.
The illustrations and playful nature of this book are why you should definitely seek it out. The text, as I believe the examples above show, is a weak point. The rhymes are often somewhat clunky, and even where they do work, it's clear this books has been translated for a North American audience rather than a British one e.g. the use of "yarn" rather than "wool", "theater" rather than "theatre", and "tire" rather than "tyre". As a result this book is neither an easy read aloud (even now I am familiar with the text I find my tongue tripping), nor an straightforward book for a young (non North American) reader to read themselves.
Whilst the text is a disappointment, the book is still very much worth seeking out. If you have a child who loves "brrrrmmmming" their toy cars around, this book will have an additional appeal. Even if you don't have a vehicle fanatic in the family this is a joyous, playful book, so gorgeous (despite its shortcomings) we bought our own copy.
Jolivet creates her wonderful illustrations by printing lino cuts. I had never tried actual lino cutting with the girls before so this seemed like a good opportunity to try it (we've done printing using polystyrene trays, but not actual lino).
Quickly it became clear that the actually lino cutting was too difficult for the girls, so we adapted our plans.
The girls draw designs for buildings on the lino and I then cut them out.
Once ready, the girls printed out their buildings, altering the order to change their streetscapes. If I had had more time I would have stuck the lino pieces to blocks of wood to make it easier for the girls to handle them (picking up the relatively thin sheets of lino without leaving inking finger tips was something of a challenge for them).
Not the easiest of activities we've ever done together, but the end results were still satisfying enough for the girls to insist on hanging their pictures in their bedroom.
Whilst we made our linoprints we listened to:
Other activities which would work well alongside reading Rapido's Next Stop include:
Do you have a favourite illustration of a city, or a favourite description of a town? Are there books you love, despite them being flawed?

I love this idea- of books you love even though they are flawed… Thinking, thinking… And while I think, I'm sure you've seen this lovely post from Playful Learning on London books (with the Olympics in mind). If not, I am your newest enabler!

Hay there… I also can't help loving city scapes!!! We have literally made dozens in various shape or form!!! Lino's can be hard for kids – indeed, not just for kids!!! We have used foam vegetable packaging trays with some printing success before http://www.se7en.org.za/2009/09/04/styrofoam-stamp-an-animal-parade-in-se7en-steps
Hope your week gets better and better!!!

Hi se7en, yes foam vegetable packing trays work best for us too – with a biro for the kids to draw their design with. But still, I'm glad we tried something new!

Lovely post. What a shame that the text doesn't live up to the illustrations, but they are gorgeous- I also love cityscapes, perhaps because Richard Scarry books were such a big part of my childhood? I was going to suggest polystyrene printing, where the picture can be drawn onto the block with a sharp pencil by a child, but Se7en beat me to it!

The book sounds fun!
We were at the Roald Dahl Museum yesterday and the shop there had a lovely collection of picture books, many of the reviewed by you. So there you go, yet another instance of how chancing upon a good book reminds me of you!
As for your question, we love David Macaulay's Underground. Gives a fascinating peek at a city from a different perspective.
June 22nd, 2012 @ 7:37 am
Hi Ali, oh yes, the towns in Richard Scarry are fabulous – and have that same continental flavour as Rapido actually.
Hello Choxbox, I have been wondering where you are and what you're up to – lucky you to go to the museum. I shall look up Underground.

Love the look of this book! Not really the same idea re: cityscapes but I do love the way Michael Rosen evokes the sounds of the city in The Bear in the Cave.

Oh I love your lino cuts! Brilliant! I would hang them on my walls too!
If theatre is spelled wrong it's for an American audience, not North American. LOL!
My husband is a delivery driver so we have a fondness for books like these. What a great one!

text: Williams: We have a few areas to improve 12 October, 2012 Oct.12 (Williams) Drivers and team report on the first day of the Korean Grand Prix weekend, Round 16 of the Formula 1 world championship, at Yeongam. Objectives • Aero evaluations • Tyre runs and set-up work • Longer runs in FP2 Mark Gillan, Chief Operations Engineer: As we have seen in previous years the track evolution on the Friday is very big with low levels of grip to start with. We completed a very full combined development and set-up balance optimisation programme with our three drivers. We have a few areas to improve on for tomorrow and Pastor also had a car issue throughout FP2 which we are currently investigating. Bruno Senna: It was a productive day for me. Missing the first session wasn't ideal because I'm not so familiar with this track and my experience here in the last two years has been hampered by rain. But in the end I think we got a good idea of the direction we need to go to improve. It's going to be very tough, we can see that in low fuel situations some cars are faster than others, so we need to improve on that, but I'm confident that we can start the race further up the grid. Pastor Maldonado: It was a difficult day today which means we have a lot of work to do before qualifying. The track is quite challenging anyway, but we had some problems in the car this afternoon which we now need to analyse to make sure we can resolve them before tomorrow. Valtteri Bottas: It took quite a few laps to get into the rhythm today. It's a new track for me so I was just learning the corners and the feel of the track initially. I did my best lap time on the last lap as I couldn't get everything out of the car in the first two sessions when the tyres might have been best. But again, a very positive session for me and the team – we managed to complete all our planned tests and got some good data that we will now analyse and learn from.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (WVLT) -- Karns High School enters a new year with something new for the Beavers: momentum.
Karns made the postseason last year for the first time since since 2004.
And with a solid group of Beavers returning, head coach Derek Witt has a team that could be back in the postseason this year.
Karns has 14 total starters back, eight on offense, six and defense.
Witt has talked to his team about the program making the next step.
"We just had a long conversation with the seniors last year that they probably have the hardest road ahead of them. There wasn't any expectation from the senior class last year," Witt said.
"These guys know that the foundation has been laid and now we're gonna try to build on top of that. We're gonna lean on that senior leadership this year. We lost 20 but we've got 17 coming right in behind them."
Witt added that depth will be a concern this year for the Beavers, but he does like the leadership his squad possesses.
Karns opens up the year August 17 at home against South-Doyle.

Special election might be on Floresville's horizon

Alicia Pierce, the communications director at the Secretary of State's Office, confirmed that Floresville city Councilman Eric Rodriguez recently inquired about how the city should proceed when it comes to the vacancy and selecting a successor for former Councilman Jim Miller, who resigned last month. She cited two areas of Section 201 of the state's election code.
Miller hand-delivered his resignation -- addressed to City Manager Henrietta Turner, Mayor Diana Garza, and City Secretary Sherry Pollok -- to City Hall Nov. 25, indicating that the departure was effective immediately. According to the Election Code, the vacancy "occurs on the date the resignation is accepted by the appropriate authority or on the eighth day after the date of its receipt by the authority, whichever is earlier."
The council voted Dec. 12 to accept Miller's resignation. (See "Council accepts Miller's resignation amid confusion" here:
Pierce said the charter provisions would prevail regarding the vacancy. The city's home-rule charter prohibits more than one appointment per 12-month period. If a second vacancy occurs, the council "shall call a special election within 10 days from the date the last vacancy occurred."
Rodriguez was appointed to fill a council vacancy Dec. 14, 2012.
Turner sent all four remaining councilmen an email message about Miller's resignation on the date that it was received. Therefore, eight days after its receipt would have been Dec. 3; this would indicate the city must call a special election.
Rodriguez and Garza declined to comment, while Turner could not be reached.
The council is set to discuss the item further at a special Dec. 19 meeting. The agenda is available here:

Special Election in May. and the Counsel went into executive session for a disciplinary action against the city manager for an unknown reason. 2 voted for firing,two against,and according to the lawyer the mayor couldn't vote because of a specific rule in the charter requiring a majority of the counsel(mayor isn't allowed a vote) to remove a city manager. the lawyer advised her not to even comment on it when she was going to say what she would've voted if she could. We had no idea what the issue was with the city manager. No one spoke about what the issue was.

Say it aint so NO GOOD, she must be someones cousin, daughter, sister or something. Its time we hire folks based on qualifications. When we put folks in positions who dont posses the skill or qualification, we get poor performance and someone else has to pick up the slack. We will never get quality work from our city employees until we hire competent folks.

This does answer my question regarding Mr. Miller's intention. I have a question though. Is the requirement calendar days or business days? Also, does the law account for State & Federal Holidays like Thanksgiving and Veterans Day? If its straight calendar days then the city is toast. If they law counts business days then the city might actually have wiggle room. Idk though so im just asking.

Very good question Mr Tibbs. You would think that this guy being the city attorneys assistant, would know that law. He gets up and says something totally different than what the secretary of state office says. Maybe its time for a new city attorney. This guy has represented floresville city council for a long time and at meetings I dont hear him say squat. He is a "Yes Sir", kind of guy, doesnt challenge anything or get up and speak when he knows something is wrong. Isnt that why we pay the guy? Shouldnt he be the be all guy that knows the law? Again, incompetence will get you nowhere
