This and That: Budget discipline and space age humor
A WSJ quote on budget discipline echoes in a discussion of civic planning and token wisdom from Capitol Hill. O D-Mrs Mickey Hodge reports an over parking ticket in San Angelo. A 11 year old Linda Higgins from Dawn sketches space valentines while Albuquerque faces a mile long Central Avenue island. A Colorado Interstate Gas electronic machine handles 78000 additions per minute and 138000 logical decisions per minute. If you remember when the sky was the limit you need not worry about the draft. A billion dollars equals 1 000 per day for 2755 years. Some folks will measure an inch. Notes from Wes Izard.
