In a late phone call, Mayor Gahan addresses our swastika sticker problem.

Maybe Joe Donnelly is available for a consultation.

Gahan in eclipse? It isn't heroin, it's #HereIAm ...

Nope, nothing much has changed since May, when even the News and Tribune noticed.

Editor Duncan pithily calls out New Albany in the newspaper's "Crossroads of Crisis" series finale.

A friend posted this photo yesterday on Facebook.

Nothing to see there. Just so long as it isn't in eyesight of luxury housing.

NA Confidential persists in reprinting these instructions for the safe disposal of syringes and sharps, as found on the city of Louisville's web site. In New Albany, Team Gahan has chosen to mimic Ronald Reagan's response to the AIDS crisis by saying nothing at all.

Here are the search results.

Nope.

#HisNA isn't very sharp, even if plenty of them are scattered around, pretending to be pine needles. Maybe what we really have is an overdose of Disney Think.

New Albany's new slogan: "Truck Through City" ... Part 60: It's Tuesday, and that means Ostrich Mating Time at the Board of Public Works & Chaos meeting.

Go to Google and search "truck routes city."

You'll find hundreds of links to cities with delineated truck routes, many of which explain the need for these routes in word similar to those used in Stockton, California:

Trucks and commercial vehicles are essential to the region, providing goods and services to the residents every day. The City's diverse mixture of land uses, dense urban environment and vast transportation infrastructure require a distinct set of rules and regulations to govern the operation of trucks and commercial vehicles on city streets. In order for this system to function efficiently, it is important that drivers observe these rules and regulations. The City of Stockton Truck Route Map is available to help truck and commercial vehicle operators.

In New Albany, Mayor Gahan's explanation of truck routes relies on a convenient pictogram.

Enjoy the remainder of today's "quality of life."

Maybe we should explore elsewhere: The case for genuine municipal independence.

Why write all those words when the picture says it all?
