Open forum 8/26

You can apply for energy assistance (Waterbury Rep-Am, by Robyn Adams) if you need it. Related to heating oil, I heard an ad on the radio this morning. It was a company touting their use of biodiesel, at no additional cost to the consumer. I think this is great, but not surprising. Fuel has gotten so expensive, its cost is now on par with alternative fuels.

Gas prices are slowly dropping (NH Register, by Michael Gannon) and that's a good thing. Gas prices are really hurting people. It was the first concern that Joe the barber mentioned to me when I went in for a haircut this morning. And if Joe (or any barber) mentions it, then it's a big deal.

Cheshire's feral cats (Courant, by Arielle Levin Becker) made headline news today. (I hope this link doesn't disconnect, but I bet it will.) The Cheshire group is giving our local cats birth control pills.

And the big news, Chris Shays suggested a timetable for troop withdrawal (Courant, by Mark Pazniokas) from Iraq.

Anything else happening?

The feral cats should be donated to the local target range. Creating an organization catering to this issue is the definition of insanity.

To anon. 3:49 You are kidding right? Or are you willing to put one of those cute little kitties on top of your head, stand there 50 yards out, while someone takes aim and shoots the beast...and I don't mean the cat.
Guess you're not a cat lover. If there's a group of people that want to help these abandoned cats, then more power to them.
