Cap-and-Trade? Maybe It Should Be Called Cap-and-Raid!
Last night I heard Senator Inhofe (R-Oklahoma) on the Mark Levin Show. They were discussing S. 2191, the Senate "Lieberman/Warner Global Warming Bill and the disastrous effect this would have not on just the country as a whole, but the individual." (My emphasis throughout post.)
Wall Street Journal referred to Cap-and-Trade as Cap and Spend
Kohl, Feingold, and Doyle 's reaction to GM Closing Janesville Plant
The big news today is that GM will be closing the Janesville plant that makes SUVs. This is not a huge surprise considering gas prices as they are. It does seem drastic considering some SUVs get fairly good gas mileage. Plus some businesses and individuals need a truck or SUV for towing or hauling purposes.
What is surprising to me is Senators Kohl and Feingold and Governor Doyle acting like they bear absolutely no responsibility in creating an economic climate unfavorable to manufacturing and large vehicles.
In praise of Aldi's AND Trader Joe's: Wish We Had Both!
Poor Aldi's*. The Town of Brookfield Plan Commission squelched their plans for a new store. One of the reasons cited in the Community Watch post was that, "Some members of the Plan Commission said they were wary of the discount
grocer's reputation and the type of customers and tenants the store
would attract to Bluemound Plaza..." (near Best Buy)
Was that criticism warranted? Just who is an Aldi's customer?
Ford Has A Better Idea: Export Manufacturing to Non-Green Countries
Sunday we returned from a few days in Dearborn Michigan touring the Henry Ford Museum, Greenfield Village, and The Rouge Ford Factory. The Rouge Factory Tour was new to us. There was Bill Ford, the great grandson of Henry, up on the BIG screen telling us how Ford created this new Rouge factory to be friendly to the environment.
Much like our proposed Fountain Brook Crossing, The Rouge Ford Factory* has Gone Green. The roof is a garden roof, planted with sedum plants to absorb the rain water. They are increasing plantings wherever possible on the grounds; nets are strung up on the factory exterior for climbing vines.
Wow! What a rain and other musings
It has been a while since we had a rain like this morning's. Guess I won't be gardening today. But that is OK, we needed the rain.
If you have ever been on a private well, rainy days don't always get you down. Remember the drought of 1988? (I remember the year because I was pregnant.) It did not rain all summer it seemed. Because we were worried about our well going dry, no one had to tell us to conserve water. We did not go on our usual summer camping trip but delayed until Sept. Often we joke we were the drought busters that summer because while camping, it rained so hard it collapsed our tent! (Oh, that was fun.) But the drought was over and we all breathed a sigh of relief.

MTB caused ground water pollution. so we switched to ethanol to lessen pollution in certain areas. Now ethanol has been shown to not lessen pollution, in fact, it increases it. So why do we still have it?
Shopping Aldi's 101: B.Y.O. B, Q, and C & New Location News
Want to shop at Aldi's? Here is a primer. B, Q, and C stand for Bags, Quarter, and Cash. Better bring your own.
BAGS: Aldi's does not supply free bags. You can either use the cardboard cartons they have laying around the store, purchase their bags, or bring you own. Or, you can take your cart out to your car and pile the lose things in without any bag or box. It is up to you.

Brookfield's Rainwater Woes, Flooding & Don't Drive Through Deep Water!!!
We're not out of the woods yet with the storms and flooding. As I am writing this at 2pm, it feels and looks like it could let lose again. Some areas in Brookfield experienced serious flooding yesterday. I noticed today the creek next to Pilgrim Road across from Wirth Park had roaring white caps! Some places were still under water today too: Pilgrim Road was closed by Pilgrim Park Middle School. If it rains heavily again today, there will be more. (Monday road closure update)
I saw this back-ho at Kinsey Park Pond just before 2pm today. Yesterday at around 7:30pm the pond was up over the banks and completely flooding Elm Grove Road. I think this was due to the debris washed down from the woods creek and possibly blocking the pond outlet drain?
Please be aware that the road conditions and area flooding do cause problems besides wet basements.
VK's Percheron Square a.k.a. Ruby Farm Proposal Heads to Plan Commission Monday, 7pm
I hate to admit it, but it took me a while to figure out why VK Development would name the Ruby Farm/WTMJ project Percheron Square. The light bulb finally lit. (Somehow I thought the Ruby Farm horse barns housed Belgians instead of Percherons.)

No Surprise, Percheron Square PDD Passed First Hurdle, or Should I Say Jump
I got back from the Plan Commission Meeting 30 min.ago. Dan Ertl spoke for a long time, then Ajay Kuttemperoor made the presentation for AVS Development.
The question of connectivity came up because Patrick Blvd. probably will not be able to connect to Percheron Square. It would need to traverse the neighbor's wetlands and DNR approval is doubtful. Sara Lane is probably out too. That would need to cross the neighbor's parking lot. Ruby Lane is a no. The school district was not in favor of a land swap. (Phew!)
I Am Sorry To See Andy Smith Go

Homework Keeps Kids Busy, Too Busy For What's Really Important
Elmbrook homework policy on agenda
The Elmbrook School Board may vote tonight on a new district policy
that would limit most homework to no more than 10% of a student's
overall grade, while allowing greater grade weight for larger take-home
projects.
A
50-member district grading and reporting task force had recommended in
May 2006 that most homework not be graded at all - a change that drew
criticism and ridicule from some talk radio hosts and bloggers.
Meting
out poor grades for early homework assignments while students are
learning and practicing new concepts can cause students to give up,
believing they can't make up for the low grades with latter work, task
force research says.
Once students have time to practice
concepts, they should be graded on whether they have mastered those
concepts, said Eileen Depka, assistant superintendent for educational
services.
Teachers also can make major homework projects more
than 10% of a student's overall grades, such as science projects or
term papers, under the proposed new policy.
Extra credit can
only be awarded for work that is directly tied to the curriculum and
not for other class activities such as collecting goods to donate to
needy children.
Depka said teachers and administrators have supported the homework changes.
Other
task force recommendations, such as moving to a 10-point grading scale
(90 to 100 represents an A) from the existing 7-point scale (93 to 100
is an A), and adding extra grade weight to trancripted credit courses
offered at technical colleges, have not been implemented.

McCain, Obama present different views on taxes
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama staked out starkly opposing stances on taxes on Tuesday, with McCain promising corporate tax breaks and Obama pledging tax increases for many.
Déjà vu: Obama Is Like Having Jimmy Carter All Over Again!
Barack Obama would prefer that most people think he is John Kennedy the 2nd. But where Kennedy said, "Ask not what your country can do for you; ask what you can do for your country", Obama seems to have an opposite campaign theme: Don't do anything for yourself that the government could do for you.

GOP senators shoved aside the Democratic proposal, arguing that punishing Big Oil won't do a thing to lower the $4-a-gallon-price of gasoline that is sending economic waves across the country. High prices at the pump are threatening everything from summer vacations to Meals on Wheels deliveries to the elderly. ...
Did We Really Need A PDD For Percheron Square?
As you probably heard by now, Percheron Square's plans are in flux for Brookfield's Ruby Farms , and here, I was thinking they really didn't need a PDD.
After last week's plan commission approval for the former Percheron Square PDD, I spoke briefly with VK himself and Ajay Kuttemperoor out in the hallway. A few of us who attended the meeting were asking Ajay, why all the retail? Don't you think we haveAccording to plans and Ajay,

Just What Can You Find At ALDI's? Low Prices For One!
I have shopped ALDI's for years now. It all started with "Big Tom" ketchup. We were a very brand loyal "Heinz" ketchup family and would not ever consider anything else on a burger. But a bargain hunting uncle of mine loved to shop at Aldi's and he would share the wealth with family. He gave us several "Big Tom" ketchups from Aldi's. Oh well, I can use them in meat loaf or something, I thought.
When we tasted the "Big Tom", it was GREAT! We liked it just as well as the Heinz. Since it was half the price, we converted. That made the 2004 presidential Heinz ketchup boycott much easier to stomach! (Big Tom is now called "Kyder".)
My Dad, They Call His The Greatest Generation
Last week, I watched The Journey of Natty Gann while making some muffins and cleaning up the kitchen. If you have never seen the movie, it is a period piece, set in the early 1930s, during the depression. An out of work widower must choose between staying with his daughter in Chicago, or going out to Washington state for a rare chance to work. He has little choice but to leave the daughter in the care of a floozy of a landlady. Natty, the daughter (14 years old?), runs away from the bad landlady and rides the rails all the way out to Washington. (Many adventures along the way. It ends happily.)
What struck me about the movie was the utter poverty and hopelessness of the great depression and the terrible choices people had to make back then.
Segway Becomes More Attractive
Remember the billboards that said IT was coming in 2001? The IT was the Segway, a "two-wheeled self-balancing vehicle that runs on a rechargeable battery." Although Steve Jobs and others "predicted it would change the way people lived," the IT came and at the time, it wowed the public about as much as the Edsel.
But times have changed since 2001. Gasoline prices are now higher--a fill up for our minivan then cost $35, today it can cost $80. People are looking for alternatives.

"For Your Convenience" Packaging Shrinks, But Not Price
Before we breezed out of town last weekend, I purchased some Edy's Slow Churned Ice Cream in what formerly was the half gallon size and tossed it in the basement freezer. (I know ice cream has not been 1/2 gallon for years. It is actually 7 cups.)
While away, my husband spotted a USA Today article he thought was blog worthy: Shoppers beware: Products shrink but prices stay the same It was all about how manufacturers are making the packages smaller but charging the same price as the former full size:
More "Convenience", Single Serving Sizes At Full Prices
Buy less, pay more. It seems to be a trend.
It first started with the small sized Coke and soda cans in the one serving size. Trouble is, it costs more than the large size. You could just purchase the regular size and throw the rest away.
"Attack of the Killer Tomatoes" Is Over
June 19th UPDATE: Tomatoes are still causing a problem. The ill total has climbed to 383. Here is the latest info from the FDA. This link includes a list of states and Florida counties that sell tomatoes NOT associated with the salmonella outbreak. Of course using them would depend on being able to verify where the tomato was grown and trusting that the label was correct. I have enough trouble just finding out if the tomato was grown in the US. (I don't use produce from Mexico or Chile for example.) Many produce managers are unable to tell you where the produce came from. To me, it is a lot simpler and safer just to stick with the tomatoes on the vine and cherry/grape varieties.
Thankfully, tomatoes are back and nobody was seriously hurt--277 people did get sick though. While not an "Attack of the Killer Tomatoes", salmonella is nothing to treat lightly. It doesn't seem that there are any real answers as to why this outbreak occurred, but I always wonder if it had anything to do with improper handling.
Tax "Evil Exxon" More? They Only Paid Same As 1/2 of Taxpayers
Oil companies have made a lot of money and some in Washington think they should get a bigger cut. The Senate recently tried to snatch some of those profits with their attempt to resurrect the Windfall Profits Tax bill. Thankfully, the Senate Republicans stopped that piece of legislation ...for now.
I am sure we will see that tax tried again. After all, Obama is campaigning, "I'll make oil companies like Exxon pay a tax on their windfall profits, and we'll use the money to help families pay for their skyrocketing energy costs and other bills," the Illinois senator said.

Brookfield's Tale of Two Budgets
Finance Committee asks for two budgets
The city of Brookfield's Finance Committee yesterday directed the mayor
to consider preparing two budgets this fall, one following a list of
recommendations from the Finance Department and another that calls for
a smaller increase in departments' operating budgets.
The
first budget, which would keep city services at the same level as this
year, calls for a $35 million tax levy in 2009 - an increase of $1.9
million over 2008 - and recommends that operating budgets for each
department be increased by 3.8 percent.
The idea for the second
budget came from Fourth District Alderman and Common Council President
Mark Nelson, who suggested the committee ask the department heads to
present a budget with a 2.8 percent increase in operating expenses.
Fifth
District Alderman Scott Berg, chair of the Finance Committee, suggested
Finance Director Robert Scott report to the committee at an upcoming
meeting to discuss the feasibility of preparing a second budget.
"All You Do Is Sit Back and Collect the Rent," Right Mayor Speaker?

Thinking about George Carlin, Dead at Age 71
George Carlin died Sunday of heart failure. After my initial, Oh (sad surprise), I immediately thought about his infamous Summerfest 1972 performance of the 7 words you cannot say on television. That routine resulted in his arrest for disturbing the peace. I was at that performance with my girlfriends. We were all a little stunned because those words were not part of radio, TV or most movies of the time.
That comedy piece eventually led to a Supreme Court decision "giving the FCC broad leeway to determine what constituted indecency on the airwaves."
To Air or Not To Air, That is the $1 Million Dollar Elmbrook Question
Elmbrook may tap reserves for projects tonight after the Annual Meeting at 7pm*, at Brookfield El. What are the projects? The HVAC replacement, including air conditioning, at Pilgrim Park Middle School and some SmartBoards for some elementary schools. (*Actually, the budget hearing is at 7pm, the Annual Meeting is at 8pm.)
In an era of rising energy prices, I just cannot justify the cost to convert to and operate air conditioning our schools. I know the majority of Elmbrook voters disagreed with me on that since they just approved the $62+ million dollar referendum for the high schools--a significant portion going toward the air conditioning conversion and air conditioning gym areas. It still seems like a waste of tax dollars to me.

Good German potato salad is a difficult thing to find. To my husband, there really is no other kind of potato salad, except German. The deli varieties and even restaurant offerings are always a disappointment, but my Auntie Lu's German potato salad, ah, now you are talking delicious!
Auntie Lu has been the potato salad guru in my family for years, but a recipe was illusive. She just made it without a written recipe. Her daughters-in-law, wanting to duplicate her delicacy, finally watched her make it. They measured each ingredient as she put it in, observed the order and timing of preparation, and wrote it down. Thanks to their efforts, even I can make it now. So can you!
