I Wasn't Born, So Much As I Fell Out


...all lost in the supermarket, I can no longer shop happily...


No, we haven't heard if Cade is a daddy yet. His baby's mama ain't gone into labor or even be dilated enough. Cade promised to call once their was a stirrin'. As soon as I know, you might know. Babies seem to spread like yellow fever in a prison camp around here, which leaves us asking, "who's next?" Nicole? She was sick the last two (2) days! Hmmmm, now I'm not one (1) to start a rumor, or talk out of school, but this normally strong young lady has looked a little green around the gills lately, and has been craving chicken-fried pickles. Just sayin'.

Nicole is supposed to serve the mast tomorrow, I'll see what I can find out. Summer and I will be out-of-pocket most of the day as we head to Elkins. Both Chloe and Charlie have to face the most dreaded of all people in the entire world, (the Taliban has nothing on the torture those two (2) will face tomorrow), they will be at the mercy of the dentist. Summer and I have the unspeakably difficult job of selling the experience as positive, then consoling them afterward, and finally explaining why we lied about it being positive.

Just to set the record straight, I know for a fact that more than 30 people have voted in our municipal elections. In fact, the numbers are much higher. When it comes to local government's decisions, the town people have come out in numbers to voice their opinions when it concerns their town and changes that could be detrimental to them. In 1985, the town people were so upset with their governing body that they voted all of them out. It has nothing to do with locals or nonlocals, only with what is good for the community as a whole, not a select set of people. Our Mayor and Council have gone over and above to accomplish whatever needs to be done to encourage jobs that pay decent wages, not minimum wages that people have to work numerous jobs just to survive. We encourage businesses to locate here, not just promote tourism. You say that the local people aren't concerned about what goes on, but you are sadly mistaken. If you and your friends who ran were so concerned, why didn't you attend council meetings to find out what was going on (before you ran and after you filed for office). I have yet to see any of you attend any meetings. Maybe you ran to accomplish your own agenda. People in this town have accepted you into their community and have even patronized your business and yet you feel such low esteem for them. Maybe that is why you weren't elected.

I think your points are valid. Why did you attach them to this post that neither mentions the election and was written in April? Oh well, I haven't figured this blog thing out entirely either. Sometimes getting people to think of their town as something that they have a voice in, and are allowed to participate in was my personal goal, which was one (1)reason I personally didn't run. Plus, I have no patience for compromise, but appreciate those who do. As for my "low esteem" for others I think you misunderstood (as others have). I judge people on how I am treated by them, and my family and I haven't been entirely welcomed or patronized by everyone, but that doesn't matter. I don't expect to liked by everyone, but I do expect to be treated impartially by my government, and that hasn't always happened. If I have offended you, anonymous, than allow me to take this moment to apologize, say I hear you loud and clear, and appreciate you holding up the mirror to me.
