[CanYoAssDigIt] Every 18 Months

A young fellow with that sly grin that says "I'm just a little more
savvy than the rest of you" on public transit was explaining gambling in
other nations. Outside the US (He didn't say where) they have something
better than Lotto. It's a sure thing. You put money into it, and
eventually you get it back, and more. "They call it Pyramid."

[CanYoAssDigIt] How Government Should Work

Meet the New Boss...

State News Release


Office of the Governor

Date: July 21, 2005
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Kate Engle Rothschild, CERB Program Manager, 360-725- 4058


State investment in Walla Walla County will create jobs and open more markets for Washington produce

OLYMPIA -- A new state investment in Walla Walla County will lead to more good paying jobs for the community and open up more markets to Washington produce.

Today the Washington State Community Economic Revitalization Board (CERB) conditionally approved an $800,000 loan and $200,000 grant for the Port of Walla Walla. The new funds will be used to make public infrastructure improvements to port-owned property so a new Washington business, RailEx, LLC, can move in and open a state-of-the-art produce packing and distribution facility.

"This is an excellent example of how government should work," Gov. Christine Gregoire said. "These funds will help the port turn this piece of property into productive land that will put people to work and help produce grown in our state reach more people - everybody wins."

The port will use the state funds to construct an access road and make drainage improvements to the property adjacent to Highway 12 in Walla Walla County. RailEx will then construct a $10 million facility and $2.5 million rail "loop track" around port property. Once up and running, RailEx estimates its operation will create 148 full-time jobs at wages that exceed the average annual Walla Walla County salary.

The Port of Walla Walla and other sources will match the state investment with slightly more than $1 million for additional public project costs.

According to Port of Walla Walla Commission President Ken Jantz, "This project solves a major transportation problem that has plagued the Washington state fresh produce industry for years. It will give growers in our state a consistent transportation supply option to get their fresh produce to East Coast customers."

RailEx is the newest member of a 50-year-old group of providers of produce from Maine to Florida. The group provides fresh produce to the largest grocery chain stores in the eastern United States. RailEx will use new high-efficiency refrigerated boxcars to ship produce from Washington to a planned distribution facility in Albany, New York. The company estimates these non-stop trips will deliver produce from coast to coast in as little as five days, cutting the typical rail time by more than half.

"These state funds will have a significant impact," said Juli Wilkerson, director of the Washington Department of Community, Trade and Economic Development. "Along with the RailEx jobs, the new facility will also create more work for area trucking companies. It will take more than 150 truck loads of produce to fill a train for its cross-country journey."

RailEx expects to hire most of its employees from Walla Walla, Benton, and Franklin counties. It is estimated that every state dollar invested in public infrastructure improvements for this project will generate $1.50 in state and local revenue.

The release of the CERB funds is contingent on RailEx finishing its development plan, and the Port of Walla Walla and RailEx finalizing other funding sources and obtaining necessary permits.

Gov. Gregoire passes fire safety qualifications test

OLYMPIA - July 14, 2005 - Today Gov. Christine Gregoire earned her "red
card," meeting safety qualifications that will allow her to visit fire lines
to get firsthand information. With the fire season under way now in Eastern
Washington, the governor will be prepared to inspect affected areas.

"I want to understand the conditions that our firefighters face in keeping
our families, communities and resources safe," said the governor. "Having
this training means that I will be able to safely enter these areas to get
the most up-to-date information."

Gregoire is the first governor in Washington history to receive this
training. She completed the firefighters work capacity test by walking one
mile in under the 16 minute-limit and properly deploying her fire shelter.
Department of Natural Resources staff in a non-suppression role are expected
to undergo light physical fitness training as well as an eight-hour annual
firefighter refresher course. The governor will be able to approach a fire
line, but will have a qualified individual escorting her.

"I have the utmost respect for the hard and dangerous work done by our
firefighters. Now that I have sampled just a sliver of what they undergo in
the course of their day, that respect has deepened."

Gregoire was accompanied by Commissioner of Public Lands Doug Sutherland and
Maj. Gen. Timothy Lowenberg, adjutant general of the Washington Military
Department. The first gentleman, Mike Gregoire, also participated in the
exercise, which took place on the Chehalis Western Trail near Lacey.

The governor declared a drought in March and expressed concern that dry
conditions would pose greater threats of major fires. In anticipation of an
active fire season, Gregoire participated on Monday in a tabletop wild-land
firefighting exercise with representatives of a number of state and federal
agencies, including the Emergency Management Division of the Military
Department, Washington State Patrol, Department of Natural Resources and
Federal Emergency Management Agency. The tabletop exercise will ensure the
highest level of coordination by those agencies and officials charged with
executing the state's wild-land firefighting plan.

The Oedipus Complex

Many many years ago when I was twenty three,
I got married to a widow who was pretty as could be.

This widow had a grown-up daughter Who had hair of red.
My father fell in love with her, And soon the two were wed.

This made my dad my son-in-law And changed my very life.
My daughter was my mother, For she was my father's wife.

To complicate the matters worse, Although it brought me joy.
I soon became the father Of a bouncing baby boy.

My little baby then became A brother-in-law to dad.
And so became my uncle, Though it made me very sad.

For if he was my uncle, Then that also made him brother
To the widow's grown-up daughter Who, of course, was my step-mother.

Father's wife then had a son, Who kept them on the run.
And he became my grandson, For he was my daughter's son.

My wife is now my mother's mother And it makes me blue.
Because, although she is my wife, She's my grandma too.

If my wife is my grandmother, Then I am her grandchild.
And every time I think of it, It simply drives me wild.

For now I have become The strangest case you ever saw.
As the husband of my grandmother, I am my own grandpa!!
