From The Journal Times.com:
"RACINE – Continuing
its long legacy of investing in its hometown, SC Johnson on Saturday
announced major contributions to aid public safety and literacy efforts
in Racine and its suburbs.
"SC Johnson announced Saturday that it
has committed to purchase a new bookmobile for the Racine Public
Library, which is expected to cost an estimated $250,000, and will also
provide its third annual $50,000 donation to support the library’s
Battle of the Books, a literature contest for 4th- and 5th-grade
students in Racine County.
"The company also said Saturday it has
committed to support about 40 hours per week of additional officer
presence for a six-year period at the Lakeside Community-Oriented
Policing (COP) House in Mount Pleasant. SC Johnson will also purchase 54
new breathing apparatuses for the South Shore Fire Department, which
serves Mount Pleasant and Sturtevant, including SC Johnson’s Waxdale
manufacturing complex on Willow Road."

Read the rest of the article. It's amazing how much the Johnsons give to Racine. A quarter of a milion dollars for a new bookmobile, to start.

Dear Madame Zoltar
Our omnipotent and succinct Green Bay Packers have the pleasure of gelding the Denver Broncos this Sunday, November 1, at Denver, 7:30 PM. Bye-bye balls!
Below are the current standings for the Irregular Football League:
My Screaming Psychics are still in third place. My prediction: The Mighty Bears will fall.
Want to make a quick $30K? Pretend to be an analyst for Mr. Mayor's proposed railway study to determine the feasibility of an extension of the Metra commuter train from Kenosha to Racine. Just say that the expansion is the neatest thing since sliced bread. That's what they'd be paying you for, anyway: a positive reaction. If I didn't have to service my other clients, I'd take the job myself.
Who called in the bomb threat to the Racine County Courthouse on Monday? A disgruntled employee? A gruntled one? Was it a "test" by terrorists so they could observe our emergency preparedness? Why not ask Madame Zoltar? The police could save a lot of legwork if they asked me first. Of course, I'm not cheap, just easy.
Finally, check out this bit of clown-foolery:
Life can make a clown out of you. Trust me, I've been there.
Thank you all so much for reading my blog today. I love you all. Be sure to let a smile be your umbrella.
Who wrote the book of love? Ask MadameZoltar@jtirregulars.com
Don't forget: wet leaves cam be as slippery as ice. Drive accordingly. Enjoy the waning days of a warm sun. Soon enough our skies will be slate gray.
