That being said, I prefer a mayor who came into office with a big negative budget not doing building projects that cannot be afforded solely for kickbacks to line the pockets of his supporters and himself.

But then a couple of hours later while I was working in my office I heard a sound like a dump truck dumping gravel, which I thought was odd since there is no construction going on nearby. When I looked outside this is what I saw. Fortunately my friend Toño, who can usually be found sitting here selling his books, music and poetry, hadn't yet arrived.
