Will Raymond in 2007

Line to pay for parking at Lot 5, Chapel Hill, NCGood luck to Will Raymond in his run for Chapel Hill Town Council. At least, he should be able to prevent parking issues from being shelved in favor of open-ended commitments to developers.

The photo shows the line to pay for parking at Lot 5 last time I was downtown. Only one of the two paystations was accepting money (unchanged from last month), and none were giving receipts, which probably accounted for the slow-moving line.

Duff at Bridge Sectional

Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

The Bright Leaf bridge club did a great job hosting the Chapel Hill sectional tournament last week-end. I played on a team which did OK, though not great, but had fun. We came within one point of making it to the third round of Knock-Outs, and finished about in the middle of the Sunday Swiss Teams event.
