Laying a campaign trail
- Keith Johnson
- I am afraid that I have become caught up in my electioneering – such that I have now committed myself to walking every street in the Southern Ward, dropping a calling card in every letter box, and talking in an open and friendly way to those fellow citizens who are out and about. Since I am largely a house husband at present and the boys are at school, my week-day mornings are pretty much free. So the map is a report back on progress so far.

Wellington City Council – Little Miss Muffet and Pinocchio
- Keith Johnson
- Just to follow on a little from my previous story about the Te Kopahou (Red Rocks) Reserve and the alleged treasonous behaviour of the voting public in Southern Ward in wanting to preserve its integrity. At the Strategy and Planning Committee meeting that I attended a couple of weeks back, senior Councillor Andy Foster (who is a sort of Pinocchio look-alike Muppet) laid it on heavily that the community owed the Council for the $750,000 that it had spent in purchasing the obsolescent Owhiro Bay Quarry for the Reserve.

Quiet Frenzy at Wellington City Council
- Keith Johnson
- I went along to the Wellington City Council’s Strategy and Planning Meeting held on the 5th August. Among the items discussed was the future of the Owhiro Bay entrance to the Te Kopahou (Red Rocks Reserve). I have previously reported on the issue in a post dated 1st March 2010.

Squidward Tentacles washes up in Houghton Bay
- Keith Johnson
- As we all know (or at least those of us who have small children) Squidward Tentacles is an arrogant and egotistical 'octopus' who lives in an Easter Island moai and dislikes his neighbors (especially SpongeBob) for their child-like behavior. He enjoys playing the clarinet and painting self-portraits. Well, one of his close relatives washed up this rainy morning just down the road from our house at Houghton Bay. Jane helped drag it up the beach.
