WELL WE ARE ON THE WAY OR THIS YEARS SHOW, WE WENT IN AND THINGS DID GO AMAZINGLY SMOOTH. WE WERE ITIM #22 ON THE CONSENT AGENDA AND WE EXPECTED TO BE HEARD AROUND 2:00 (THE SAME AS LAST YEAR) BUT WE WERE AT THE PODIUM BY 10:00 AM. REPRESENTING THE PEANUT GALLERY FROM NIGHTMARE ON GRAYSON WAS; NATALIE DE LA FUENTE, DARLENE DE LA FUENTE, ADAM PRECIADO, TRACY CUSAK, BRUCE MC COLLEY, ROMAN GUTIRREZ, CHRIS CEVALLOS, JIMMY GARCIA, ADRIAN DEL TORRO, GENE BRADEN, AND OF COURSE MY SELF GORDON WISE. THANS EVERYBODY! WE PASSED A COMPROMISE GIVING US TWO L;ANES FOR N.O.G. AN EMPTY LANE, THEN ONE LANE OF TRAFFIC ON THE PERAL SIDE. THIS IS LESS THAN IDEAL BUT BETTER THAN LAST YEAR. WE NEED TO KEEP AT IT AND WE MIGHT GET BACK TO WHERE WE WERE. FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART, THANK YOU EVERYONE INCLUDING THE PEARL FOLKS AND ESPECIALLY MARY ALICE CISNEROS (DISTRICT ONE) FOR MAKING THIS A LITTLE EASIER FOR ALL. ALSO ONE MORE THANK YOU TO DISTRICT 5 COUNCILWOMAN, LOURDES GALVAN, FOR HER KIND WORDS OF SUPPORT. I'LL ADD MORE LATER...I NEED TO COOL OFF MY BRAIN FOR A WHILE.
