Afterwards, I took two of the water commissioners over to meet my good friend John for a tour of the dam and another pumping plant.
Not shown here, but one of the day's interesting moments was spent with the city's new mayor. She's a high energy, no nonsense, former elementary school teacher who doesn't seem the least bit concerned about upsetting an old boy network in town. "We're changing the tone of political discussions," she told us, "and we're going to start by saying 'two nice things.' I'm serious -- say two nice things!" So we did.
It was a little corny, but I like her positive energy. I also wonder why she doesn't already have the domain name, "www.SayTwoNiceThings.com"
