I was delighted to read in The Enterprise that our county board of supervisors found an issue (finally) they could sink their teeth into.
The issue apparently had been simmering on the back burner for some time. Recently, the heat was turned up causing the proverbial pot to boil over in a public meeting. It was a meaty issue (well perhaps vegan) and one that required all the melding talent we have come to expect of our board of supervisors.
The squabble (not the small bird) as reported by The Enterprise reads a bit like a story of too many cooks in the kitchen, one wanting to prepare adult meals and the other wanting to make Happy Meals. Obviously, the soup had been stirred once too often and the parties reported being literally deadlocked. The timer was running low and the board of supervisors needed to judge the contestants.
After considerable study, our seasoned board in a gutsy spilt decision chose the Happy Meal flavor over the adult meal, telling the Happy Meal crowd to spread more happiness with Happy Meal toys.
There is still hope for the adult menu cooks. After all they learned from Supervisor Harris that all they needed to do to feed the hungry in Patrick County is to burn down a few hundred acres. Shoot if they did that even out of town folks could get free meals.
Why, if the adult menu cooks knew that, they could have just kept the Bull Mountain fire of 2006 going for 10 years preparing the meals for the hungry in the outdoors over an open fire? The problem averted. S’mores might even have been melted together.
The adult’s and children’s crowds could have lived happily ever after. A recipe we could all hope for!
