Were We Bamboozled or Were We Blinded By The Boobs 'N' Beer?
"A puncture-resistant tube is filled with water, forming a flexible barrier that can be stacked on top of one another, said Paul Vickers, president of U.S. Flood Control Corp. in Calgary. Each tube is 50-feet long and 19 inches high, can be filled in 90 seconds and costs about $1,200."

That's a quotation from a May 18, 2005 U.S. Today article.

You mean we could have bought 500 tubes for $600,000.00, but instead rented them for $175,000.00 per day?!?! ($600K is 11% of $5.3 mil.) Need any more proof that Charlotte Randolph's Administration is in way over its head?

Is Paul Vickers of U.S. Flood Control the same Paul Vickers who owns strip clubs up in Canada and whose style has been characterized as "boobs 'n' beer" by the Toronto Globe and Mail, the newspaper of record in Canada?

Charlotte, I think early retirement is something you should give serious consideration to about now.
