Behind the HouseCloudy but a fairly nice day. I opened the windows in the studio to air it out and it wasn't too cold. No wind either. Tomorrow might bring more of a chance of some snow showers.
It was a very quiet and relaxing day for a change. I nodded off in the chair a couple of times, so know I'm tired out. We shopped for some more bedding and looked at kitchen things online. The list of needs is just about filled. Some more furniture will be necessary eventually. We went through a few closets and drawers looking for anything that we want to take to the new house, and will do some more of that tomorrow. Otherwise we did very little except some laundry, vacuuming and made a nice dinner with BBQ spareribs. The Mixed Media show was hung today. So if you get a chance be sure to go into the Pinedale library and check it out. On December 3 it moves over to Big Piney for a couple of weeks. I'm anxious to see it myself.
I'll SURE be glad when the elections are over, But would like to take an opportunity to say: Please vote for the SPET..... the 1 cent sales tax that will build a new community center in Pinedale and a recreation center in Big Piney. The oil companies will pay 97% of this tax. It will go away for good when the needed money is raised. Part of the money will be building costs and part will be invested in a PERPETUAL ENDOWMENT which will pay for nearly all the expenses of running the centers.
I've heard and seen the letters from people who are against the tax and the centers. However they are wrong when they say we don't need these buildings. Even a small group like Mixed Media cannot find meeting space, adequate space to hang our art show (Yes, we are having our art show the library but it is NOT the proper place for artwork to be hung, i.e. not big enough, not secure, not protected when other meetings are held in the same room daily (we've gone in and seen coats hung on the paintings, or in the case of various meetings skis or other items leaning on the artwork, meeting papers taped onto the frames, children with sticky hands handling the artwork and frames, etc. etc.
We could bring many workshops and conventions to the area with the community center. It will bring thousands of people here to attend events held there. There is no place in town adequate to hang our annual State WAA Convention Art Show of 300 paintings, so it's taken to another town. The new theatre would be top notch for many of the community's performances. Other groups, funerals, weddings, receptions, classes and private or business meetings have no place large enough to meet or that isn't always booked. I continually hear of standing room only at many funerals. Unlike only a few years ago, if you try to schedule a meeting now you will soon give up in frustration trying to find an open facility or one large enough. We need to face the fact that, whether we like it or not, our area is burgeoning. This is a wonderful opportunity to build a beautiful state of the art community center that will serve our region well for years to come. Wouldn't it be dumb of us not to take advantage of this excellent opportunity. Please go vote for the tax. !!
