This week is French week on the blog. French loanwords come in very handy. Naïve (just sang it), Déjà Vu, Marionettes,Vaudeville, Surveillance...


They are useful. Thanks, you French.

I taped the main part of the continuing Richardson Texas City Council Executive Offline Session at various times over the last three weeks. My tape isn't as good as the two or more tapes and descriptions being posted elsewhere about the public meetings, but it's instructional, at least, and summarizes what has been happening with The Council.

Diligent work was done by some to pre-tune language details of the City of Richardson Ordinance 1,1901.952-2010 concerning the K2-ban and Council Conduct but it was not foreseen by the person who placed it on the agenda that it would come down to the pot-bong-versus-ma'asel-hookah and The Council conduct.

(Caterpillar or man?)

The Council getting their ordinances to make sense is not as easy as it looks for them. One observer stated it (ambiguous) to trying to squeeze whiskey out of an empty jar. Another immediately related at hand commented, "it's (ambiguous) like the bag is mostly stems and seeds, dude." .



It should be noted that K2 is banned in France. And in Kansas. And some other places.
