THE FIRE HYDRANT ISSUE
A NICE DAY AT WORK!
This past Friday, us boys from the City's Water Dept. were dispatched to Clizbe & Second to repair a fire hydrant. That's a treacherous curve, so it was determined we needed a flagman. Fortunately, I'm trained in being a traffic impediment, so I took the post... (Read More)

There are a LOT of great posts regarding The Chalmers Building, local property values and a slew of other topics!
CITY vs. COUNTY
Actually, I would hope the "vs." in that headline could be accurately changed to "in conjunction with." A VERY important topic in local politics is currently at hand, and I think it would be a subject well-suited for discussion here at amsterdamit... (Read More)
...AND AROUND AND AROUND...
There's a very interesting thread up at the Message Board right now that strongly points out the current feeling of the American voter, on both the national and local levels... (Read More)
MAGIC WAND!
Anybody up for a tear-jerker? - As some of you already know, for several years now, I've dabbled around in filmmaking. I thought it might be fun to share one of my favorite pieces with you guys... (Read More)
GREETINGS FROM OUR OVERSEAS SISTER!
Today, I was fascinated by an email I received from a nice man in The Netherlands. CLICK HERE to read what he wrote...
SMALL CITY. BIG HEART!
Man, for such a seemingly innocent logo, this baby sure has a lot of people fired up! This catchphrase and accompanying new logo has gotten a lot of locals in hot debate over whether it's good, bad, timely, untimely, ill-conceived, well thought out, etc. - I'm sure you're all dying to hear my take on the whole thing...

6 THINGS YOU HATE ABOUT ME!
As most of you know, I work for the DPW in Amsterdam. As a public service, I'm going to address six of the most common complaints I hear about us... Plus a bonus blurb of little known facts about the DPW guys and tips on how to make life easier for both you, the public, and us... (Read More)
CAGE FIGHTER!
Tommy Marcellino is an Amsterdam boy. In many ways, he's like any other small-town kid, but where Tommy differs is in his choice of recreation and career goal. Tommy, you see, is a cage fighter... (Read More and see video of Tommy)
FUN STUFF
This poor kid is a riot! This is the parking lot of the dentist's office. As soon as I can get video of it, my buddy, Freddy, acts just like this after a certain amount of non-dentistry, liquid mind-alteration... Although he's not quite as cute.
Usually, I'm not into YouTube vids that are parodies of other videos on the site. However, these guys are pretty funny. Chad Vader is pretty sweet!
As long as we're on Chad Vader, here's another one. This one isn't as funny, but it's cute and I want you to take notice at about the 1:30 point in the movie: That fire hydrant has been cleared out nicely! (And if you're not a regular viewer of amsterdamit, you have no idea what I'm talking about... Shame on you! Start paying attention!)

A Little Boy’s Dream – An Old Man’s Pain
When I was 7 years old, I took some of my mom’s clothesline rope to assist in erecting a wrestling ring in my backyard. Mom wasn’t thrilled by my usage of her clothes maintenance materials, but she didn’t say much, as she knew how much I loved wrestling and how much I was going to enjoy being Bruno Sammartino in my backyard.

THE FIRE HYDRANT ISSUE
In the wake of the recent fires, there has been much discussion about what needs to be done to assist our firefighters in being able to effectively battle these blazes. Being an employee of the city’s Water Department, I’m quite familiar with the hydrants and the issues surrounding them. (Read More)
