For those of you who aren't aware, the "big" story up here in Rochester for the past year or so has been the Fast Ferry. Basically, the story in a nutshell is as follows: A company decided to begin operating a ferry service from Rochester to Toronto (which was not really that much faster than just driving from Rochester to Toronto and definitely a lot more expensive) about a year or so ago...and for several months it was "THE" news story around here (they did stories about its construction in Australia, its trip from Australia to here, its arrival and they even did a feature story where they took you on a tour of the ferry...I mean...who cares what the inside of a ferry looks like!). Then, the ferry started operating...for about 3 months. Then, all of a sudden, it went bankrupt and stopped operating and it was a "big" scandal, which has topped the news every night since. Finally, there now auctioning off the ferry and the city of Rochester is looking to be the high bidder. So, what did I just hear on the local 11 o'clock news?? There apparently going to be live at the auction this coming Monday as well as providing updates throughout the day on the status of the auction!!! I mean, is that ridiculous or what? WHO CARES??? So, I was thinking...maybe I'll show up at the auction...and half-way through jump up and scream "500 million" and then laugh maniacally and run out...haha...I bet I'd end up getting on the 11 o'clock news too then :)
