Stitch and Bitch

No, I am not talking about gatherings with coffee and knitting.

Tonight I went to the town meeting after the town budget failed to pass. This is a peculiar New England thing (I guess anyway) where at least in this town everyone argues about the budget. We have two groups, the people who think the elected officials are making sensible decisions about the budget, and a group that just doesn't want to pay taxes, and doesn't care about our great schools and other town services. So there was a whole lot of bitching going on. My favourite speaker was the one who used the Oscar Wilde quote: "A cynic is a man who knows the price of everything but the value of nothing."

I used the time to knit the first part of the second mystery samprjón that we are doing.

So far, it bears a strange resemblence to a boat...
