The Coffee House

[snowbear129 60]

I just found out my GIS boss has recommended me to be the chair of the "Local Government" caucus in the state GIS committee. Basically I'll report on what the other counties and municipalities in the state are doing for GIS projects and events. Attend monthly executive committee meetings and give a short presentation at the quarterly membership meetings.
----------------
Completely unrelated (forgive me).
Apparently this is a catering company.

Just what do they cater to though?

 

[snowbear129 60]

Yeah, or where? We' don't want to go any further down that road in the public side. The mods pretty much leave us alone and let us get away with some mild or understated stuff; I'd like to keep it that way.

Is it a public meeting? Can I come as a disgruntled member of the public and cause a ruckus for the caucus?

As for the catering company, we’re gonna need the Six Ws.

Yes, the meetings are public. My term won't start until January. I am still on very friendly terms with some police types.

The funny thing was how I found out II haven't been officially told I was nominated). At the Exec meeting, my boss mentioned the group really needs a photographer, as the person that was doing it has left. Some of them know I play around with a camera - I usually take it when we meet in person.

Afterwards, I told the boss "So you need a photographer? I think I know someone." He told me "But you already have a job."
Long story short, he told me of his recommendation. We'll see what happens at the election ( I suspect I am unopposed).

 

[Dean_Gretsch]

Of the 2, which would you prefer though?

 

[snowbear129 60]

Caucus chair or photographer? I'll go with the chair, and still take a few photos when I get the chance. It's all volunteer, anyway.

Our older dog had surgery today for bladder stones. 2nd time in 2 years. He’s resting now at home. Poor baby.

 

[snowbear129 60]

Aww, poor puppy.

What's in a name? According to the website they're a minority owned catering/food truck company in Waldorf, MD, founded by Chef Stephen Humphrey in memory of his mother Thelma Humphrey and his Aunt Eleanor Grant, who both died of cancer. Seems they also donate 10% of their proceeds to cancer research and organizations that support cancer victims. Sometimes there's a lot more to a name than first glance reveals.

It's still a funny name.

Sounds like he was in some pain! Hope he feels better soon.

Any idea on how to prevent them? Our dog used to have UTIs all the time and she had lots of minerals in her urine. We changed her food a bit and made sure she got more water in her diet. Doc thinks that has helped, but apparently she’s more prone to them than some other breeds. She hasn’t had a UTI in some time.

We need an empathy button on here...
