The next Jockey Hill Journal is here!

Okay, so it took a while more than it was supposed to...understatement of the year...the JHJ will be in your inbox by the end of today. Right now it is slowly and painfully being downloaded to the unofficial town website along with some other info. My internet connection is slllllllllow today. (Whaddaya know, slow is spelled wrong!)

By the way, if you change your email address, let me know.

Power to the People!

Right on! I feel the power once again and it is great. Just to let folks know how great Landaff is (or how much I smell?), I had offers of a hot shower from multiple households during the Great Power Outage of '08. It is great to turn a faucet and have hot water come out. AAAhhh! Thanks to everyone for your hospitality.

From an undisclosed location...

That's right. I am forced to write this from a place that is not my home. The ice storm has separated the "haves" from the "have nots" and I am, unfortunately, one of the latter. People using PSNH do not have power. The part of town using the Co-op has it. Tell your unique power out, power on story by clicking on comments.

Homemade Christmas Wreaths for sale

The Heaths of King Hill Road have been busy as Santa's elves making upwards of 10 Christmas wreaths a day. Doug, Mike and Courtney have been gathering greens and snipping branches. Tammy and Doug have been assembling them. Lindsay has been putting her two cents worth about where to put the decorations. They come in small, medium and large and go for $12 to $20. Stop by the house at the top of the hill and get one of these beauties.

Tire warning

This is a message from Wendy Towle:

On 11/19/08, I was travelling at approx 30 mph when my passenger front tire bumped the curb. The tire "exploded"(according to the driver behind me)- and I could not steer the car- crashing head first into a cement based light pole. I was fine, no one else was involved- but the car was totaled. I had Bridgestone Turnza tires on the car(purchased new on 5/15/08)- and have since read multiple reviews with similar stories, of premature tread wear and even "spontaneous" combustion of these tires.

There was a class action lawsuit against Bridgestone for not recalling these tires- but apparently the case has been dismissed because although there are hundreds of similar complaints, no one can prove that the tire issues aren't related to other problems(over/under inflation, punctures from the road etc.)

SO PLEASE PLEASE PASS THIS ON TO EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT MIGHT HAVE THESE TIRES ON THEIR CARS- THEY ARE DANGEROUS!!!!!!!!!!!

Yoga takers?

Is anyone interested in exercising one day a week at the town hall? If we get enough interest it would be possible to get a yoga instructor to come to Landaff once a week or every two weeks. Please call Debbie Brown to discuss interest and details. For a 5 session commitment, cost would be about $10 per class.
