“You don’t need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows.”

It is indeed windy outside. I woke up this morning at 3:30 a.m. from a deep sleep briefly thinking someone was trying to knock on my door as my screen door rattled and slammed open and shut.

A story in today’s paper discussed not only the wind but also the city’s plan to ramp up tree trimming around power lines. What are your thoughts? Is this needed?

in other news, the Lodi Planning Commission will have another update on the General Plan. I’m working on a story highlighting some aspects of the General Plan that might be of widespread interests. If you have happened to look through the document and have any suggestions on topics to cover, let me know. Comment, e-mail at maggiec@lodinews.com or 369-7035.
