There are no brakes on the Park and Recreation’s train of destruction. A resident quoted in the paper, Mr. Hanson, is correct when he says that the summer theater won’t “desecrate” the cornfield. That’s true because the town has already desecrated the meadow area. The theater will occupy the cornfield. The concessions for people and [...]

Today’s Advertiser reports a new chairman of the Park and Recreation Commission, who was quoted as saying: “We want to be good stewards of New Canaan’s assets.” How ironic since the page before tells of more planned destruction of our park.

“As the chains get longer, they get heavier.” Since the liquid ‘petroleum’ contains aliphatic hydrocarbons they can be separated out by distillation. The longest (heaviest) carbon chains attached to hydrogen in crude oil form solids. Just slightly heavier than tar, asphaltic bitumen is what we’ll be driving on here at Waveny for a while to [...]

Since the dog park is closed, I’m walking the trails of Waveny with my pooch these days. I guess I’ve been lazy since it seems like a while since I’ve walked through our beautiful park.
