Science, Dr Walter Reed, Gloucester, VA from Chuck Thompson

While doing some off the wall research, we ran across this story in an old comic book and had to grab a copy to share.  It's a short story, but puts Dr Reed's major accomplishment into perspective for everyone.

An extremely rare peek inside the birthplace of Dr Walter Reed's humble beginnings.

Another view inside Dr Walter Reed's birthplace.  Very simple, yet very charming home.

Monday Gloucester, Government Employee Reports

About 8:05 AM.  Looks like we have a winner.  Government employee seen going into McDonald's for another happy meal.

Government employee is inside McDonald's while car sits outside running.  You can see the exhaust coming out of the tailpipe in the above picture.

Good news for Gloucester officials.  It's a Middlesex county government employee we caught.

Anyone recognize this employee from Middlesex County Virginia?

Our next catch was watching one of the Sheriff's deputies drive in.  Though he was coming in like last week to make sure that no government employees were trying to go through the drive through windows or stopping in where they didn't belong into the local restaurants.  Turned out he just wanted breakfast himself and Hardee's drive through at about 8:15 AM.

  Last Monday a deputy came in and sat in the parking lot for about one hour to watch the parking lot making sure no Gloucester, government employees were trying to hit the local restaurants while on the clock.  Problem was, he was facing the wrong way to catch anyone.  Unless of course he was just napping.  Don't think he was napping, but there was no one to catch last week.  We tried to wave to the deputy last week from 7-Eleven but he ignored us.

Next up?

Public Utilities coming out of WaWa.  Truck number 23.  Time is about 9:05 AM.

Widescreen shot.  He came out of the parking lot in the above picture at the far right hand side.  You can see the flowering bushes do match.

Our next one is a video of  another Public Utilities employee driving truck number 24 down the highway at a speed we estimated at about 70 mph in a 55 mph zone.  We were doing about 60 to keep up with the flow of traffic.  The video is just below.

Boy, it looks like a really bad day to be a Gloucester County, Virginia official having to answer for all of these issues.  But then again, we know they really just do not care.  It's your money they are wasting so big deal right?  Never mind that if a Gloucester, government employee may get into an accident while doing something they are not supposed to do will cause an insurance claim not to be paid.  So who would end up paying for these employees mistakes if an accident should happen while they are somewhere they are not supposed to be?  The county would pay up.  That means your tax dollars.  But again, what do they care, it's your money and we keep showing how it sure looks like they are wasting millions of dollars of it.

  Now everyone needs to be as silent as possible for a few minutes.  We might just be able to hear s few more retirements coming down the road along with a few jobs opening up in a few months in some key positions.  SSHHHH!  Can you hear it?

Gloucester, (Swamp) Page Middle School Future Views?

Come one come all to the ground breaking ceremony of the new school being built in the middle of a swamp.  A school already mired in very real potential scandals before construction even beings.  Come out and celebrate with those who think they have every right to your future earnings to pay for whatever it is they want.

  The above picture is to give you an idea of what the new Page Middle school may just look like after only a few years.  Sinking back down into the swamp it's being built on, that is provided it is not blown apart because the school is not been built to handle standards of withstanding even a class 2 hurricane.

So a weak tropical storm may just come in and blow the house down?  And all at the very low cost of 26 million dollars not to include the future interest.  But hey, it's your money and not theirs so who cares right?  The Gloucester officials can always put through another bond for 35 million for yet another school and stick you with that bill as well.  

  The ground breaking ceremony is today and Gloucester officials are asking you to come out and support this.  The event starts at 4:00 PM at the grounds of the site of the new school location.  Parking will be at the Gloucester, High school and you will be bused to the new site as there is no parking a the new site yet.

  Monday, September 23rd, 2013.  4:00 PM.  You can go to the high school as early as 3:00 PM to be bused to the new site.   Are you excited about seeing how your tax dollars are being wasted?  

Just remember to keep an eye on any of your loved ones.  Last thing anyone wants to see is another scene like the one above.  Should you see this view while there? Just look the other way please and pretend you didn't see anything.  In fact, help out and cover the hand or foot up with a brick or something.

Future cafeteria views as the swamp takes back over it's rightful place in the area?  Aquatic learning with real life situations?

Proud parents will want to come out to the new swamp school to take pictures of their children playing outside with the new game, swamp ball?

Gloucester Officials may want to follow the lead of China with new school bus issues, getting the children in and out of the school area in the swamp.

But hey, again, it's only 26 million.  Pocket change, right?

So come one, come all.  Remember, it's all about the children.

Gloucester Officials Out Of Control? Pictures Continue - Parade?

Gloucester County Utilities Vehicle number 285 at Hardee's this morning at 7:55 AM, Monday, August 5th, 2013.  Two employees got out of this vehicle and went into the restaurant.  On the clock?  Unknown.  Personal use?  You bet.  We heard back from one person at the Gloucester Mathews Gazette Journal who informed us of the following, "stopping by hardees is a de minimus errand".  

  Well we did in fact check into that response.  Here is what we found.
http://www.payroll-taxes.com/articles/taxing-and-reporting-personal-use-of-employerr-provided-vehicles  This applies to privarte employers and under very specific circumstances.  It is also clear that the person who responded failed to read the state code we provided.

Waste, Fraud and Abuse - Virginia Codes from Chuck Thompson

You can not justify this use.  State code is very clear.  " D. The use of such vehicle shall be limited to official state business."  Stopping at Hardee's does not constitute state use.  It is personal use.  You can not blame the employees either, it's the officials in charge that are not in charge and the employees learn this from somewhere.  It's not the employees that need to be held accountable, it's the officials that are clearly not in charge and that have set the examples.

  And again, we have to seriously question why anyone would allow these people to gain access to 17 million dollars for a middle school that is not needed when there is one down the street we are told is not needed that could be used.  Make all the copies of these pictures you want.  The folks who sent them to us told us they do not care who uses them at all and release all claims to licensing and or royalties.  They just want all this abuse to stop and their taxes lowered.  Not raised because of careless officials and lack of care for taxpayer dollars.  It's a parade of abuse?

  The phone number to the Hardee's Restaurant at the Courthouse area, in case you need to find a Gloucester County Government Employee, is (804)-693-0363.  If they are not where they are supposed to be, now you know where they are.
