PROGRAMMING NOTE: Holiday Schedule

By

The holidays are here. It's the time of year when you bite your tongue, roll your eyes pretending to like that crappy gift someone gave you. Then you secretly plot how the heck you're going to re-gift it or shove it in the back of the closet until it's time to bring out when the person who gave it to you comes over asking "hey, where's that gift I gave you"?  Yea, I'm speaking from experience.  

One of the most unusual holiday gifts I have received happened many, many years ago. It was a bottle of wine that was about 5 feet tall statue - I think it was supposed to be Bacchus the Roman/Greek god of wine. I appreciated the gesture but wow...it made my eyes roll internally. It was next to impossible to pour it because of it's shape.  And when I did manage to siphon a glass out of it, it literally tasted like the grapes were stomped on by donkeys with foot odor. It was cheap crappy wine. That swill made Boones Farm look like Dom Perignon. The image below SORT OF gives you an idea of what it looked like.  It was much taller and wider than this.

In 1990, Rita Crundwell assumed the role of comptroller in Dixon, Illinois. After serving for seven years, she clandestinely established the Reserve Sewer Capital Development Account (RSCDA) and utilized it to siphon off nearly $2.5 million annually from the city. By 2008, she had illicitly obtained a staggering $5.8 million, a substantial portion of Dixon's modest annual budget, which ranged between $8-9 million. Over 22 years, Crundwell embezzled upwards of $53 million and lavishly funded her lifestyle. She established and operated RC Quarter Horses, a renowned horse breeding enterprise, with her horses achieving an impressive 52 world championships. Additionally, she acquired a 45-foot motorhome and indulged in extended vacations.
