Plainfield observers (click on name to go to post): Bernice is taking a day off, wit-gathering. Olddoc reviews the Council meeting and concludes the administration is derelict in not planning for the financial emergency which has been seen coming for more than a year. Maria finds a reader clarifies the certification process, and asks if the schools problems would disappear if Dr. Gallon were not here. Piv notes the Council pushes back.

Also, three personal blogs by Plainfielders, each with a point of view: Rebecca Williams' Confessions of a Bathrobe Blogger, Renata Hernandez' PEPTalk: Revisited, and Jackie Schnoop's The (TV) Show Must Go On.
