Today's the perfect day to be out here. Everybody else is at work. This weekend will be really nice with all the guys out fishing, so let the guys go fishing while we stock up on all our flowers.

One of the biggest ironies about this weekend is some of the kids who will be brought to the cleanup by their parents will be some of the ones involved (in illegal activity) and the parents are unaware.

We are in a bit of a vacuum with the long three-day weekend coming up. Tomorrow will be a vacuum kind of day.

The kids will have six (daytime) dress rehearsals for school audiences during the week and three weekend public shows ? a full schedule ? and they learn a lot in the process.

I'll be having people work every weekend and one of their prime duties will be these parking tickets, ... You know how (Mayor) Jay (Arend) feels about this kind of stuff.

We had a wonderful turnout this weekend.
