Code Neon Blue!

There’s good news and bad news regarding my plan to Get Organized and Get More Done Around Here, Dangit.

Good: I AM getting more done.

Bad: You can’t tell it by looking.

Oh, well. Plans are moving forward like a rocket sled for our County Assembly, so that’s a plus. New projects and old ones with growing pains keep popping up in the local papers, so I won’t run out of things to write about any time soon.

The Lamar Ledger had an interesting bit the other day concerning the city’s new plan to let people pay utility and other municipal charges via plastic.

I was indecently delighted to read that the city tech guy’s first choice of a credit service vendor was — Paypal! (And I think it was a good one — I use them for my business and find them very reliable.)

But seeing as how this is City of Lamar stuff, the City Council figured they REALLY ought to do what they endlessly nag the citizenry to do, and try to give Lamar the business first. (Wait, that came out wrong….)

Happily, by using the threat of the more cost-effective Paypal as a *constructive illustration*, the tech guy, Thomas Sanchez, got a local bank to offer better terms, so all is cozy and safe again, with Lamar spending being done here at home as God intended.
