we know EXACTLY how it happened.. here's a BAD recipe:

take one part low-voter turnout
add one imperious independent mayor

equals NO road upkeep as well as no concern for small business.

Goin' to the dogs.....

Great theme, Jack!
Our latest addition - a cute little Australian gal,
Olivia Newton John Lawrence (we call her Olive) will be attending the rally with us. She'll be a welcome addition to the group, showing off her herding skills on our children and other pets.

To be fair, most of the roads here are fairly worthless. One person we know has already gone through 3 tires that were all on one rim due to potholes.

The roads here are a total disgrace!

Yeah. Bummer on the truck. I checked Alldata for prices. Wow, I thought the parts for the German stuff was expensive. Have you tried to submit a claim to your insurance carrier? We did a motor mount and timing belt after the customer convinced the adjuster the engine "fell out" after he hit a big pothole.
Yea, the roads are a mess. We’ve done 63 tires in 20 working days. One of the VW customers picked up her car, turned out of the shop and hit the crater just past the entrance. Rim and tire added up to another $600.
Sue’s attack squirrels are built for speed not torque. Disemboweling peanuts and ripping screens are their specialty. However there appears to be an over abundance of dog power available. How many miles per pound of kibble can you get out of a Terrier?
Still trying the get the trailer ready for the first trip. The weather is not cooperating. It’s snowing here in Schaumburg today. This is Spring?

Waiting on the warmth,
Tom.

Hello Jack,

I feel blessed just to be somewhere in the park, as late as I registered.

Best Regards,

I'll start the food list this weekend. If you wish to participate, Saturday night is the traditional pot luck meal. I'll post more information on the guidelines.

Regards,

Jack
