Now, I’m not trying to scare you out of cleaning your own windows with Windex, but if you use a LOT of spray cleaners and air fresheners, you might want to read this. Click here. I only use dish detergent in my bucket of soapy water, so I hope that isn’t going to be a problem. I also use some Lime Away for hard water, and Iron Out for iron stains. I only use some environmentally friendly spray cleaner for those rare occasions when I need to clean something unusual.
July is always a slow month for me because so many people are out of town on vacation. So call me now! Lot’s of vacancies! If you have dirt, the time is now! Call me at 352-870-8808!
Just in case you didn’t know, I lost my runoff election to be Mayor of this city. It was a nail-biter. I lost 6,110-6,068 in a nasty, mud-slinging campaign. It is no wonder that good people don’t want to do this. But, I firmly believe that ordinary people with common sense must prevail periodically, so I will be back.
That said, I am trying to get back to all of you who called during the campaign. I may have lost your message during the heat of battle, so please don’t give up! Give me a call at 352-870-8808!
If you have known me for very long, you know that I have been politically active for the past 10 years. One day I realized that I had not been a very good citizen and I started getting involved in our system of self-government. Well, one thing has led to another, and now I find our city government so unresponsive and out of control that I just had to do something about it. But I cannot do it alone! I really need your help.
Contrary to what some people think, I have not become independently wealthy in the window cleaning business. One of the downsides of conscientiously pricing one’s service so that a relatively broad spectrum of society can afford it is that I cannot crusade against government obtuseness on my own dime. It costs a lot of money to run a city-wide campaign, but if all my friends just do a little bit, the voters can be that much better informed.

If I am elected, how will this effect my business? Obviously, it will curtail my window cleaning significantly. But my son is still in the business and we will no doubt be hiring someone. But some of you will have the unique experience of having the Mayor of Gainesville clean your windows!
I heard about this on the Slate Political Gabfest, and went and checked it out. Here it is from the Red Cross web site:
12:30am (1/13/2010) You can text “HAITI” to 90999 to donate $10 to American Red Cross relief for Haiti.
It’s a quick, easy way to kick in a little cash to help while you are thinking about it. It will be charged to your cell phone bill and can do it up to 3 times for a $30 limit. After sending the text, you will get a confirmation text to which you can reply “yes” and then two more that are just informational. Now you know.
