Starting December 28, The Tree Guy will be picking up discarded Christmas Trees, curbside, for $10 per tree. Remember, dry Christmas Trees are a fire hazard (and a mess!) After you've enjoyed your Christmas, call the Tree Guy at: 908.797.6060. Please leave a message if no answer. Thank you. Another year has begun and I am ever so grateful just to BE here. I will share with you Newsletter Readers my exclusive unique plan for 2020 and beyond, Our calendars could use some minor adjustments, such as adding an extra hour every day from Monday through Friday. I would add two hours each on Saturdays and Sundays. It's not always easy to get everything done with our current system in place. This new calendar allows extra time for football games and shopping and doing chores if need be. For me, I could stay up until 13 or 14 o'clock - whenever the Late Shows airs. I propose we add an entire day to every week. This means I wouldn't have to change my bed linen as often, among other things. Weekly undertakings would be spread out an extra day , which I will call Bonusday , and it comes after Thursdays. This may be a drawback, however, if you've been told you can consume 7 alcoholic drinks a week. You may have to adjust to drinking plain club soda on Day #8. Finally, we could all use an extra month in 2020. During that 13th month there would be no holidays or monthly obligations. We might sit and review the last 12 month's accomplishments. Folks like JCP&L and Comcast and a few others are going to have to make some adjustments with their billing procedures. But with enough encouragement from their customers it could be a done deal. I would definitely abolish Daylight Savings Time. "Spring Ahead/Fall Behind" would join other archaic phrases such as "Kilroy was Here" and "Damn the Torpedos". It's bad enough I have lost precious hours when traveling from Minneapolis to Newark. Airlines could well be figuring out ways to remedy the situation rather than figuring out ways to charge us for a carry-on bag that is one ounce overweight. This calendar changeover process won't be an easy one. Nothing worth its salt is easy now-a-days. However, if it had been in place when I was born in 1928 I wouldn't be almost 92 years old yet. That's a good thing, isn't it? Happy New Year to all of our Newsletter Readers – make something good happen every day in 2020! 185 Center Street, Clinton 908.735.4499
