“Keep Your Dauber Up” Whatever That Means

At the end of a phone conversation with my Mom, one in which I was bemoaning, between sighs, a litany of ridiculousness that somehow had all wedged into a single day, she responded at the (almost) close with “Well, keep your dauber up.” I paused

We thank the Van Wyck Gazette for choosing to and ask County Executive Molinaro to discuss Dutchess County's efforts to provide an inclusive community for those living with disabilities in their latest issue.

"Anyway, one venue that required our truck loaded with frozen foodstuffs was, of course, the annual County Fairand their food stands on the fairways, brightly lit with yellow phosphor tubes. I unloaded the contents of our truck onto red steel hand trucks and rushed down the fairways with wheels on fire, the sense of urgency pressing my need to coax every fairgoer to leap out of harm's way. Barely able to maintain the hand truck course, let alone balanced, I sped to food stands with the requisite burgers and fries to feed the starving masses. Back and forth I toiled in crisp air tinged with the aroma of fried dough and onion rings. Past the amusement rides and carnival barkers, I rolled one hand truck, then the other. At last, our huge truck was empty."
