I thought you could!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>This Danville Public Schools situation gets more bizarre every day.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s interesting how the Danville school board sets this &#8220;called meeting&#8221; at 4:45 PM. That&#8217;s a convenient time so that it can be all finished before people get off of work and get there. That&#8217;s not unintentional, folks.<\/li>\n<li>Adding to that, the Register &amp; Bee publishes an article that&#8217;s nothing but spin by the human resources head, Juliet Jennings. It&#8217;s got plenty of lies in it but nobody challenges anything that the school system personnel say. Whatever happened to tough questioning?<\/li>\n<li>People are complaining about the &#8220;No Umbrellas&#8221; rule at the Harvest Jubilee concerts. Every amphitheater concert venue I&#8217;ve ever been to has the same policy because umbrellas ruin the line of sight when you&#8217;re sitting on the lawn.<\/li>\n<li>Danville&#8217;s share of the Community Development Block Grants awarded yesterday? $ 0.00. Yay Blight Eradication Program! Hmph.<\/li>\n<li>Local folks here might very well drive 30 miles to Destination Downtown South Boston&#8217;s outdoor concert tonight with &#8220;The Worx&#8221;&#8230; if they knew anything about it.<\/li>\n<li>Biscuitville and their pimento cheese and bacon biscuit. Perfection, baby.<\/li>\n<li>I certainly hope that Danville government will show the same enthusiasm at every new business opening that they&#8217;ve shown for Moon River Thai Bistro. It&#8217;s the first ribbon-cutting I&#8217;ve ever seen where the business owner wasn&#8217;t there but her &#8220;business consultant&#8221; was.<\/li>\n<li>Danville&#8217;s public library loans out e-books and offers free digital magazines to library card holders. That&#8217;s a deal that more people should take advantage of.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>And that&#8217;s some RandomThoughts for now.
