Gone, and not at all appreciated

These webpages are now destroyed, though they were totally approved by Bill Morton..

I resigned from Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce on Nov. 14, 2009, because the Chamber seemed to no longer have a proper ethic.

We had voted on a new membership structure 24OCT2009, and two weeks later I was informed that , apparently, that vote did not matter, as a membership had been sold at the previous higher monetarial structure, and the president of the Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce, thought this was an OK way to go.

I resigned.

However, I am the 'seeder' of this Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce--I provided the monies to incorporate, to become a member of the US Chamber of Commerce, pretty much to do everything, as I was the Secretary/Treasurer. I have since been replaced by 'interim' board members.

I have asked for a repayment schedule, but that request seems to be in avoidance at this point.

I am making this public because Bill Morton has avoided me for the past two months. He has not answered an e-mail I sent, nor has his board member, James Alan Wilkowski, communicated with me since the 8th of December.

We are talking thousands of dollars owed here, and these Rogers Park Chamber of Commerce board members seem to be trying very hard to dodge paying me back for my investment, which Mr. Wilkowski had the gall, in in e-mail, to call a 'donation'.

The result?

On Monday, I shall go downtown and contact a lawyer specializing in collections.

Perhaps then, Bill Morton will understand that I am serious about this situation?

P.S. Bill, I can garhishee your wages for an indefinite amount of time.

Just in case...

..you haven't a card. Print out one of these.

These are my designs, but you are totally welcome to them.

Just me, doing what I have to do, unlike Obama, doing what he THINKS he should do!

In the olden days (the time of Lyndon and Jimmy) we would have called Obama a FRAUD. And that he is, friends.

Please feel free to copy and print.

Though they are my own creations, I refuse to copyright. So, Barry, come after me. I would welcome that!

Snow White

Still dreaming of a 'White Christmas'?

Here's a photo from yesterday in Venice, Italy, right outside the Ducal Palace. It rarely snows there.

This was shot in Frankfurt, Germany. Pretty, isn't it?

And here are three photos from my window, which overlooks George's Christmas Tree Lot on Sheridan Road here in Rogers Park.

The snow got heavier, and I could barely see George's festive lights.

It snowed quickly, sticking to tree branches and sidewalks, making for a very pretty winter scene.

By the way, George will be at the lot through tomorrow evening, and his trees are top quality. Why not stop by?

'Tis the Season of Giving...

...all of Chicago drivers the shaft!

First, Santa Dick'em gave us these:

Now, this:

City Parking Meter Rates Going Up

Chicago - Mixed news for Chicago's parking meters.

A new "portable time" system means if you have time left on your receipt, you can use it anywhere that charges the same rate.

Plus spots near schools and hospitals will allow for more than two hours of parking.

And if you get a ticket at a broken meter it'll get tossed out.

However, rates go up in just 9 days.

The top rate will go from $3.50 an hour to $4.25.

Merry Holidays

(and enforced furlough days)

from Dick'em Daley to all!

X-mas marks the spot!

You don't like him, you REALLY don't like him!

Merry Christmas, Barry!

Meanwhile, in the Senate men's room...

Healthcare (?) PAY-TO-PLAY!

Mmm, mmm, mmm!
