Politics as Usual....


What is amazing to me, is why it takes such great gobs of time to do something as simple as elevating the gas mileage standards. The issue seems fairly cut and dry, and the reason it won't pass quickly is because all of the congress men & women will tack on their pork before the thing sees the light of day. Additionally, 35 mpg by the year 2020 is weak in my opinion. It just shows that no one, including the democrats, is serious about doing what is right to conserve energy. It is all just politics as usual.
MY WEDNESDAY

Kate and I went to Roggie's Brew and Grill in Brighton located in Cleveland Circle. We had a large peperoni pizza (By the signs outside, it makes it seem like it is their specialty even though the menu is rather diverse) which was quite good. It was a notch above Boston's plentiful Greek style pizza, albeit it sported a similar crust. Following dinner we returned to Kate's apartment which is a couple of blocks over the Brookline city line. We reserved our room in Manhattan for our up coming trip to NYC. We finally settled on a place after pouring over many economy/budget hotels and Bed & Breakfast establishments. It is a small independent hotel in Chelsea. It apparently has recently been redesigned and renovated and has gotten consistently rave reviews on several different booking agencies. It should definitely be a unique experience that I look forward to.

Thursday, 4 out of 5 almost out of the way!
