I Don't Remember Him Being At Lunch

Next?

During lunch some months ago, when the city council races were still unsettled, there was talk of organizing a group to fund a 501c3 to buy up the old abandoned properties in town and create clean open spaces that would then be available for future development and use under a forward-looking master plan for the community (Master Plan as in the one formulated and published for Quanah by the "Big Timber" back in the 1960's). It is an idea of merit. Now, I know it would require burdensome permits and resource allocation discussions since we would be tampering with the habitat of various rodents and reptiles and other players in that particular hierarchy of the food chain. But we could do it. And, I know we are a rural farming community and many feel we need our animals with us here in town. But I hold to the statement made by Mrs. Koch (a formidable Community Advocate) at a city council meeting many years ago, and I quote - loosely, from memory, "farms are for farm animals, communities are for people who want to live together in a community setting and not on the farm".

But, getting back on my main point by reference in the title... as the photo clearly shows, this guy is getting it done and I don't even remember seeing him at lunch.

That's What I'm Talking About!
