“One Man’s Opinion”
Part I
I haven’t written a lot about government over the last year or so, I
guess I was basking with great enjoyment in the warm and fuzzy
glow of Obamary. But things do change. Recent events and trends
in local government require the expression of my opinion.

First, the trip to Austria. It makes perfect sense to me that if Europe is interested, or more so clamor-
ing for products we can produce and transport, then Mayor Johnson and Mr. Stuber an engineer,
should represent the city in any discussions, I would even hazard to say that the leader of the bio-
mass project at the Herty Foundation should also be invited to participate at the city’s expense. The
back and forth of who said what, when, is just another waste of time. “You should have told us”; “I
did tell you”; “No you didn’t”; “Yes, I did”; OK, I didn’t”; “Now what?”; “OK, you can go”. Whew. At
least common sense prevailed, but I guess that’s politics. I’d like to note, that to my limited knowl-
edge, there is no truth to the rumor that Mr. Thomas recommended the use of the “eeny, meeny,
miney, moe” system for choosing persons to make the next international trip.

Part II
The purchase and use of Tazers by local law enforcement has been in the news lately, with the City
Council and County Commission both receiving demonstrations and considering the issue. I’d like to
stop and commend our County Manager, Russ “Don’t Taze Me Bro” Abolt for his courage in volun-
teering to be Tazed. At least now he has firsthand knowledge of what kind of distress that suspected
criminals and other dangerous persons would be subjected to if the device is obtained and used.
Unfortunately, Mr. Abolt does not get to vote on the issue, only make recommendations. Perhaps, all
Council Members and Commissioners should volunteer to experience the Tazer before they vote.
OK, I know that’s not going to happen, but how about sticking a 9 volt battery to their tongue, you’d
be surprised how much that tingles, maybe they could extrapolate the feeling from the Tazer from
that experience. Better yet, why not put Tazers in their seats and the next time we get the “Yes, you
did”; “No, I didn’t” discussion at either of their meetings, citizens could go to their computers and if
enough voted, they could Taze the member during the meeting.....hmmmm.

Part III
Lastly, Franchise Fees, this one is so easy, that “A Caveman Could Do It”. If the money comes from
the unincorporated area, then it should go back to the unincorporated area. Why do I have to pay
the fees out here, only for the money to go only to the city? C’mon, Fair is Fair. Let’s settle this, even
if the General Assembly doesn’t pass new legislation. Don’t make me bring out my Tazer. (No, I don’t
own one, don’t want one, and wouldn’t know where to get one, so don’t bother me, it’s satire.)

Just, One Man’s Opinion.

Since I had been selling water beds for
almost four years, I thought I had
heard every question imaginable. But
then a customer asked me, "Can you
deliver it filled with water?"
Stunned, I replied, "Are you kidding?
It would weigh over twelve hundred
pounds!"
After a short pause, she said, "Could
you do it if I helped you carry it in?"
At the UPS cargo phone center where I
worked, a woman called and said, "I
need a baseball quote."
I immediately answered with Yogi
Berra's famous "It ain't over 'til it's
over!"
There was a brief moment of silence be-
fore the woman asked, "What was
that?"
"You asked me for a baseball quote," I
responded, "and that was the first thing
that came into my head."
"Oh," she replied. "My husband told me
to call and get a baseball quote."
I asked if she wanted to ship something,
and she said she did. Then it dawned on
me: "Do you mean you want a ballpark
figure?"

The politician was sitting at

when the phone rang. He lis-

When he hung up, he immedi-

her the good news.

"Ma," he shouted, "the results

"Honestly?"

The politician's smiled faded.

"Aw, heck, Ma, why bring that

A diary of one person's love of snow...
December 8: 6:00 PM. It started to snow. The first
snow of the season: we took out cocktails and sat for
hours by the window, watching the huge soft flakes
drift down. It looked like a Grandma Moses Print: so
romantic, we felt like newlyweds again. I love snow!
December 9: Woke to a blanket of crystal white
snow covering the landscape. What a fantastic sight!
Moving here was the best idea I've ever had. Shov-
eled for the 1st time in years & felt like a boy again.
Did the both driveway and sidewalks. Later, the
snowplow came along & I got to shovel again. What
a perfect life.
December 12: Sun melted all the lovely snow but
good neighbor said we'd have a white Christmas.
Then commented that by the end on Winter, I'd
never want to see snow again.
December 14: Snow, Lovely snow! 8" last night and
cold, too. Wind took my breath away but warmed up
shoveling. This is the life! Later the snowplow came
back, again, but I'm getting in better shape. Just wish
I didn't huff & puff so much.
December 15: 20 inches forecast. Sold the van and
bought a 4x4; snow tires for the wife's car & 2 extra.
Shoveled, then stocked the freezer. Wife wants a
wood stove in case power goes off. I think that's
silly - we aren't in Alaska...
December 16: Ice storm this morning. Landed on
my butt trying to salt the driveway. Hurt real bad.
Wife laughed for an hour. (I think that was very
cruel.)
December 17: Too cold and icy to go anywhere.
Power was off for 5 hours. Piled on blankets to stay
warm with nothing to do but stare at the wife & try
not to upset her. Can't believe I'm freezing to death
in my own living room. (Won't admit that I should
have bought wood stove: hate it when she's right.)
December 20: Power's back on and had another 14"
of the stuff. Shoveled all day. Snowplow came by
twice. Kids too busy playing hockey to help.
Continued…
Hardware store sold out. Next shipment of snow blow-
ers due in March. Neighbor says I have to shovel or
city will have it done and bill me. (Think he's lying...)
December 22: White Christmas!!! 13" more of the
white stuff & its so cold, it won't melt 'til August.
Tried to shovel - just too tired. Tried to get help from
neighbor who has snow plow on his truck but he said
he was too busy. (Sure he's lying.)
December 23: Only 2" of snow today and had warmed
up to 0. Wife wanted me to decorate the front of the
house. What is she nuts!!! Why didn't she tell me to do
that a month ago? Says she did. (Think she's lying.)
December 24: 6". Snow packed so hard by snowplow,
I broke the shovel. I'm gonna get that snow plow
driver. (I know he waits around the corner to see if I'm
finished, then roars by at a 100, sending snow flying
all over.) Wife wanted me to sing carols with her &
open our presents, but I was busy watching for the
darn snow plow.
December 25: Merry Christmas. Another 20" of the
slop. Snowed in again & the idea of shoveling makes
my blood boil. I hate snow! Then the snowplow driver
came by asking for a donation. I wanted to hit him
over the head with my shovel. Wife says I have a bad
attitude. I think she's an idiot and if I have to watch
"It's a Wonderful Life" one more time, I'll throw her in
the snow bank.
December 26: Still snowed in.
December 27: Temperature dropped another 30 de-
grees and the pipes froze.
December 28: Warmed up to -25. Still snowed in and
the wife is making me crazy!!!!!!
December 29: Another 10" & neighbor says I have to
shovel the roof before it caves in. That's the silliest
thing I ever heard. How dumb does he think I am?
December 30: Roof caved in. Another 9" in forecast.
December 31: Set fire to what's left of the house: no
more shoveling.
January 8: I feel sooooo good. I just love those little
white pills they keep giving me. Why am I tied to the
bed?

suits you?"

"No," Manny replied. "I meet a lot of

nice girls, but as soon as I bring them

Manny shrugged his shoulders, "Yes I

loved her, they became great friends."

"Excellent!!! So,.... Are you and this

girl engaged, yet?"
