Is ANYBODY suggesting we should invest in a gold course? What IS a gold course? I think that when the bathrooms are mentioned a lot its because its the LATEST construction fiasco for the City and the most obvious and visible. The "money is no object (because its YOUR money) crowd" is entitled to have their say, even if they present NO facts to back up their arguements and little logic. Or maybe its just that lady is single, past middle-age, bitter, and lonely, and hoping to meet some single guys at the bathroom to date. And what IS a bathroom fetish? I am sure she has extensive knowledge of fetishes and such things because she presents herself as an expert, so educate me, what IS it?

This is a response to woman on MS.com who is implying that, because we frequently talk about the bathrooms and ALL the money being wasted there, we have a bathroom fetish, whatever THAT is. She, and another poster today, have implied that since we focus so much on that, we are the type of guys who "hang out" in bathrooms. They are, of course, implying we are gay, because we strenuously object to the City wasting HUNDREDS of THOUSANDS of our hard-earned tax dollars. It is a character smear, of course, not true, and has NOTHING to do with the issues at hand. It IS an intimidation factor in that they seem to be saying, "If you expose our graft and corruption, we will try to assassinate your character by spreading false rumors all over town". Its small town politics at its worst but par for the course for these guys.

Today they went back to the Council for MORE money to make sidewalks from the fields to the bathrooms, $34,000, to be exact. It was to comply with the American Disabilites Act. Five hundred feet of concrete and railings cost $34,000 ? I am going to check with my contractor friend to see how much this SHOULD have cost. Tomorrow I am going to ask City Hall how much we have spent, in total, on these bathrooms as I dont want to give out bad numbers. I expect my reply to be in detail, timely, and very specific. I will also get the contract for the sidewalk job. We shall see. They havent answered my questions from almost a month ago yet.
