Letter to the Editor: County Planning
By CHRISTINE WEAVER
Los Alamos
Hooray for Los Alamos County project planning office. In a town full of geniuses, it’s amazing that none of them work for the county. We will now have the two major thoroughfares in town under construction at the same time.
Trinity Drive is “supposed” to be completed by July 16, but when have we ever had a road project completed on time. The Central Avenue project is due to be completed in 60 days … RIGHT!
In the meantime, when visitors ask directions from one end of town to the other, the response will have to be, “You can’t Read More
Yang: A Humorous Poke … Into Some Serious Issues
Today’s example helps illustrate “how to break the mold,” carefully selected to follow the “Weird Ideas” innovation series.
By now, you might have come across the story about how a group of four Canadian professors at the University of Alberta satirized the high salary of their outgoing university president, (read it here and here).
