Dear Madame Zoltar

Hello, my fabulous friends!  How are you?  More trees are turning colors every day.  More shed their leaves.  It’s beginning to look like fall.  The temperatures feel like it, too.  I must say that whoever did the plantings and maintenance in downtown Racine this year did a grand job.  The flowers, grasses and greenery were beautiful all summer long.  That must have taken a lot of watering during our drought.  Thank you to all who put their efforts into it.

The Green Bay Packers vs. Seattle Seahawks game last night made national news.  Our majestic and admirable Packers were the victims of the substitute referees’ incompetence.  I’m quite sure that we will have to live with the loss.  Dear Pack, don’t let this get you down.  Fight! Fight! Fight! Use the defeat to fire your ire against the New Orleans Saints this Sunday, Sept. 30, at 3:25 p.m., in Lambeau Field.  If the substitute officials continue to blow calls, don’t be surprised if some “outside interference” affects the game.  Something has to be done to counteract the NFL’s negativity.  I’m positively sure of that.

Here’s a related story in the Mt. Pleasant Patch: "Packers Fans Call for National Boycott of NFL," http://mountpleasant.patch.com/articles/packers-fans-call-for-national-boycott-of-nfl

Until now, I have kept my mouth shut publicly concerning “Mr. Racine,” Mark Eickhorst, the part time supervisor who drove one of the jail inmates on a work detail to the inmate’s girlfriend’s home, where the inmate allegedly beat her.  http://www.journaltimes.com/news/local/mr-racine-admits-mistake-after-inmate-escape/article_3e2a799e-0316-11e2-bb69-0019bb2963f4.html  He’s called “Mr. Racine” because he has a weekend radio show on WRJN.  Until now, I haven’t said anything about the sheer stupidity and irresponsibility of Mr. Eickhorst’s actions.  “Mr. Racine?”  Harrumph!  I guess even the criminal element deserves a representative.  I’m quite sure that Mr. Eickhorst’s connections to Mr. Mayor Dickert prevented him from being charged with a crime.  It really upsets me to see the law perverted like that.  It upsets me even more than the blown call in Monday’s Packer game.  I know that our city can do so much better.  We the people, the real Mr. and Mrs. Racine, don’t deserve the corruption that we receive from our local “representatives.”

I will not end my blog on a negative note.  Instead, I’ll tell you a gypsy joke.

Q: Why do gypsy men walk funny?
A: Because they have crystal balls.

Oh dear, shame on me.  I hope you enjoyed the joke and the blog today.  Thank you for stopping by and spending a little time with me.  I love new visitors and readers.

Q: Where do gypsies go to get their fortunes told?

Enjoy the outdoors while we still can.  Be watchful for school buses and children on the road.  Dusk comes earlier and earlier each day.  Sorry, I can’t make it to the impromptu get-together tomorrow.  Have a very good time, my dears. Rugose!

Even cooling down here in SW Florida. High is only supposed to be 89 and a low of 72! Ah, fall is in the air, indeed!

The bottom line is Racine is a dump. The problem is ineffective, poor excuse for leadership in our local government. I mean seriously, the mayor sued the city he represents for his own legal defense, property assessments are way, way outta line, taxes are high, crime is through the roof, hundreds of property owners and businesses not paying taxes, where’s the leadership? Where are the creative, bright, smart leaders of Racine? LMAO…..You’ve got aldermen and woman who don’t speak, who do they represent? The City Of Racine rips up the contracts of city workers and gets sued, City Hall replaces bathrooms with marble and granite for a cost of over 500K, while telling you “we’re broke” Your city administrator makes close to 200K a yr and your mayor close to 100K and for what? What have they done to warrant making that type of money? Surprising, Kenosha isn’t in NEARLY the bind or bad situation we are…Hmmmmm

Always a treat to read your blogs madame. Instead of boycotting the NFL, why don't we just boycott NFL merchandise? With the holidays coming up that could really hurt them. Also, I read where the referees want to be back in the game but the owners won't let them. Don't know if it's true or not. Just sayin..

Madame, did I see your skirt blow up above your waist yesterday by city hall? Were those the crystal balls you use for the illee-beenie chilli-beenie fortune telling you use to entertain Mr. Dickert? SER is right, you are so naughty.
