The district 8 city representative has a link on her web page titled “Street Closures”. I followed the link Saturday, December 12, 2015 to see what she had to tell us.
This is what came up:
Wasn’t that good?
Actually the closure happened back in November.
We deserve better

This is for real. A true dream last night. . . .
I’ve only been up for 15 minutes now. . . so I’ll write this before I forget . . .
Last night I had a dream.
And in the dream . . . .there was a big flood downtown.
The Rio Grande was overflowing and all of downtown was under water.
The water came from New Mexico rains and snow melt run-off.
Downtown was 20-30 feet underwater and I went down there to see the HUGE river flowing thru downtown.
I saw Coke machines floating down the river.
And someone told me that all of city hall and the mayor and city council had all washed away down the river.
They were gone.
(I’m not making this up . . this is what really went on in last nights dream.)
After THIS kind of dream . . . I just couldn’t keep it to myself.

Your dream is full of archetypal images and significance and tells us that the collective unconscious – the flood – is overwhelming us and that all our city secrets – the coke machines – are about to become evident to all of us, floating as it were.
Either that or you ate dinner at Chicos.

Was music playing in the background? If so, was it Down by the River, Drug Smuggler’s Blues, or Take Me Out to the Ballgame?

Didn’t hear any music. . . that I can remember.
Just the noise of the water / river.

It had to be Led Zeppelin’s “When the levee breaks”. ;0)

It looks like district 8 representative manages her web page about as well as she managed the San Jacinto Plaza project and the plaza contractor she pitched for. She’s probably been busy on family stuff. That’s the excuse she used for not completing her review form for city manager Tommy Gonzalez before voting to give him a $60,000 raise. Later, she spent 30 minutes reading off all of his accomplishments to defend her vote and council’s decision to give him that big raise. She raved about him, his accomplishments, and his organizational changes, including the elimination of jobs that she claimed saved the city “millions”. Now, only about three months later, she has “grave concerns” about Gonzalez and says his staff reductions have made the city “vulnerable.” I am baffled as to why no one points out these contradictions.
