Have you ever gone on a mystery date? How about a mystery date with a book?
The Saline District Library invites people to try one.
"It's time for one of my favorite traditions here at SDL: Mystery Date with a Book! Take a chance on a new read by choosing one of the wrapped books on display to check out," Library Director Karrie Waarala explained in the library's newsletter. "There’s only one rule – you can’t unwrap the book until you get home!"
When you return your book, rate your date at the library's Reference Desk. One lucky reader will win a "Movie Date Night" prize.
Sunny, with a high of 73 and low of 32 degrees. Sunny during the morning, clear in the afternoon and evening,
I have to commend the Saline City manager and engineer for keeping their cool and for their professionalism during the three hour Mill Pond Dam town hall meeting.
I think what's insulting is that the city is bloating the numbers to bolster their case.
Logically, the dam has no practical use. Of course, it's going to cost more. Of course, there's a level of risk there. Of course, over some period of time, it's going to cost more to maintain than a stream.
Life cycle cost analysis is certainly appropriate when considering new assets, but it may not be as appropriate when evaluating existing assets.
