News from Pigeon Falls– The little town in my garage where the trains still run and kids are the government– The election is over and the votes have been counted in Pigeon Falls. The votes for Mayor are as follows, Nancy 1, Eino 1, White Rabbit 2, and Tommy 5. The new Mayor of Pigeon Falls is Tommy the undertaker’s kid. The council will be made up of the eighth grade class all six of them. Each one got five votes. Apparently the last years graduating class decided to shame the town by writing in the eighth grade class. There is no age limit on the office holders only on voting for the office. So now Tommy, who couldn’t vote for Mayor, is the Mayor. He will be on Thursday when he and the new council members have been voted in. The adults in Pigeon Falls are in a state of shock. One eighth grade mother said she isn’t going to let her son serve on the council. The town attorney said that if she prevented a properly elected official from performing his duties she could be arrested. Tommy announced that his first official act would be to declare the White Rabbit the town mascot and make it illegal to shoot at him. Mrs. Trumble has not been available to comment on that development.
Nancy says all those people who came in for coffee agreed that something had to be done but nobody had the slightest idea of what. The adults don’t want the kids making the rules for the town. Nancy says that if nothing else is true its been good for coffee sales.
Lest we forget the dragon got one vote for council. So things could have been worse. We could have had a council consisting of the dragon and the Mayor would have been the White Rabbit.

Mia Culpa, Mia Culpa, Mia Culpa. I am guilty. I made an off the top of my head comment in Monday's post which could be read as questioning the ethics of Cindra Jo's relatives. It was not intended to do that but to question if the identifies of the writers in the contest could really be kept secret. I have always had a tendency to put foot in mouth and do so even on this blog. To all of Cindra Jo's relatives my sincerest apology. I am sure that you are all ethical people. Out of all this I have learned how easy it is to destroy the peace. In the future I will try harder to say what I really mean (think before I write). Again I am sorry.
For those who wonder what T.I.P.C stands for it is "Thousand Individual Point Club" which is made up of bloggers with over 1000 JCPOINTS.
Betty was going to paint the garage door but it rained. She did bring in the hose and some unused rairoad track. I worked on filling out a question sheet sent to us by Mr. Smythe. I hope the answers will be okay. Betty sold some stock that she and her sister had. The last of the stock. It brought about $450. Well I need a breathing treatment.
