This Is Really Geeky....

OK, this is a real inside joke....but hey, 0.000005% of people reading this may find it rings a bell:

Then Beagles Barkley was elected mayor and the good ol' boys network movedin, decimating the tourism industry and nearly 96% of all lakeside business. One decade ago, we could all plan on healthy holiday revenue sustaining our economy year-wide. The only people visiting our historic city these days are the occasional writer or lost husband, and they don't bother purchasing anything. Maybe we could sell replicas of their mysterious ghost daughter or missing
undead wife or whatever. We could do it real tastefully, like put them in a snow
globe or something.

Yep, mayoral elections in America's most dysfuntional town.
