"City" never bothered me. I know where I live! Don't need a sign to tell me!

Pappy's gonna try and do a serious post here.
(Oh, no! The other Pappys are tryin' to hold me back. Down! Back, you good-lookin' savages!)
Anyway, I shall begin with a quote from Mark Twain:
"Against the assault of laughter nothing can stand."
I think people tend to confuse humor with frivolity; anything that makes us laugh is somehow not as important or noteworthy as some self-important tome built with trendy imported words bought in a tony uptown boutique. (I actually bought a couple of these words on sale locally.)
I tend to, in many cases, think the opposite. I think humor is actually a higher form of discourse capable of taking more plentiful but less refined thought, running it through the folderol processor and compressing it into a shining gem of great appeal and value. (Also makes a dandy slingshot projectile, uh, metaphorically speaking.)
For that reason, I shall continue to fling a few home-distilled barbs of folderol at suitable targets on the FolderolScope(TM), with the aim of penetrating their armor and deflating their egos. (By "their" I mean "of or belonging to them.") But in so doing I will try not to abuse the privilege we have been given here and will endeavor to match the tone and content of my posts to the intent of the particular forum I post on.
Summerfield is my home and I will continue to express my opinion about what's going on here. As somebody once said in a NWO letter to the editor, "I believe the people should know the truth-Hogwash is happening in Summerfield."
That's the truth! Hey, people! Are you listening?

Steve, when you say you agree, do you also mean you agree that me and the other Pappys are good-looking savages? FabioPappy was wondering and I told him I'd ask. He's a little insecure about it.
Do you think we also need a Summerfield Park topic set up? Or just keep that stuff in the TC forum? I noticed some Park stuff in the Water topic, too. FabioPappy wants a tanning area in the park.

TOWN PLANNER BILL BRUCE HAS RESIGNED!
UGGGGHHHH!!!
Read the complete story about Mr. Bruce's resignation on page 9 of this topic....
LATE BREAKING NEWS FLASH EVERYONE!!!
At the town council meeting tonight, it was announced that Bill Trevarrow has resigned his position as the Town Attorney.
This comes on the heels of Tuesday night's Town council meeting where Councilwoman Becky Strickland succeeded in her attempt to humiliate Mr. Trevarrow publicly.
Obviously having never held a position of power before and not having attended any classes on the Essentials of Municipal Government, B.S. is not aware that an employee-employer relationship is not a topic that should be discussed in public. In this writer's opinion, it was just plain NASTY for her to do that to a fellow human being.
Mr. Trevarrow offering a gesture of goodwill, has offered to continue legal service for the town until new counsel can be hired. He will of course be charging his normal fees for this service.
This advice will only cost the taxpayers $250.00 - $300.00 per hour!!!!
Once again B.S. our hats are off to you for "saving" us all that money you promised to save(offered forth with all the sarcasm I can muster) and for alienating yet another Town employee... Bravo!

Well at least now I understand why cc's were against the Town building a Town Hall. They don't plan on the Town having any employees so what is the need?
Bill Trevarrow has probably 30+ years of municipal law and has been the attorney for Summerfield since the beginning. At some point he would leave us but isn't it a shame that he is leaving under these circumstances. He has been a great employee of the Town and will be sorely missed.

| This is too much! It looks like they don't want the town to spend any money on the citizens, they just want to spend it on themselves. It's seems it's okay to spend money if they say it's okay. Just all sounds hypocritical to me.
