Dave's Corner 💭

Sunday, Sunday, when everything's alright. Actually, the song is about Monday. Which doesn't make any sense, because if there is any day things are not going to be alright, it's generally Monday.

Latest Issues from SeeClickFix 👁

• Snow Plowing
  When the snowplow leaves a heap of snow at the intersection of these two sidewalks at Battery Park, it means people have to use the muddy tracks to the right instead to cross the street Aside from being muddy, it also doesn't have a curb cut so wheelchair users have to go over the mud and curb Same for strollers This has been an issue for YEARS and has been reported many times If it is really so hard for the plow to join the two sidewalks, then why not just pave the muddy path and add a curb cut??

Random Burlingtonian Quote of the Day 📝

[I]t appears that mankind in this life are not agents of trial for eternity, but that they will eternally remain agents of trial! To suppose that our eternal circumstances will be unalterably fixed in happiness or misery, in consequence of the agency or transactions of this temporary life, is inconsistent with the moral government of God, and the progressive and retrospective knowledge of the human mind. God has not put it into our power to plunge ourselves into eternal woe and perdition; human liberty is not so extensive, for the term of human life bears no proportion to eternity succeeding it; so that there could be no proportion between a momentary agency, (which is liberty of action,) or probation, and any supposed eternal consequences of happiness or misery resulting from it.

—Ethan Allen
