My “Secret Ops of the CIA” calendar arrived today. (Previously.)
The WP, for once, wasn’t wrong: it really is a beautiful piece of work, and I think it is worth every penny the creator is asking for it.
(My favorite entry? April. Because 1) my birth month, 2) Stingers, 3) Charlie Wilson.)
I’m working on getting the lists updated, but I’m a little frustrated.
If you go to the city’s list of council members, they’re all there.
But if you click on Alison Alter or Jimmy Flannigan, you still get the information for Ann Kitchen and Don Zimmerman. I’m doubtful the street addresses and PO boxes have changed, but I can’t be sure of that, so I’ve struck through those temporarily.
The “contact council member” pages for the two new members do look like they’ve sort of been updated, in that the links now show “Send Email to District (X)”. The pages for the other council members still show ‘Send Email to (Council Member Name Here) District (X) Council Member”.
So I’m not just being a lazy, shiftless blogger. I am working on these pages, but I’m in “waiting on the city council and the webmaster” mode right now.
(I probably need to work on the county commissioners and the legislators, too. I’m hopeful I can get that done this weekend.)
Michael Chamberlain, ex-husband of Lindy Chamberlain and father of Azaria Chamberlain.
You may remember the Chamberlains from the “dingo ate my baby” case, which I have touched on before.
Detective Steven McDonald of the NYPD. Det. McDonald was shot by a 15-year-old boy in 1986. The shooting left him completely paralyzed from the neck down.
A plainclothes police officer when he was shot, Officer McDonald remained on the Police Department’s payroll afterward as a first-grade detective, at times appearing at roll calls and offering support for wounded officers.
His son, Conor, who was born six months after the shooting, is a sergeant with the New York Police Department and represents the fourth generation of the family to serve in the department.
