| this office warned that if the county claimed jurisdiction over a route that exists only in memory the office would locate the memory and defend it and the office has now gone further: the raccoon employment hearing the winter route certification and the pie monument dedication will all be held at the halfway point ON THE ICE on the day the ice is thick enough to argue with which the office defines as the day dave walks out without commentary. agenda: one hearing one certification one dedication zero agenda items and the county is invited to a meeting held on its own missing jurisdiction. the office notes the county will need ice cleats to object which is the finest permitting requirement this office has ever invented. — mayor alex | |

| alex a hearing held on the ice being the venue is the venue the dock seconds and will supply from the dock: the pontoon parked on the ice as the bench the fish flag flying at the halfway point and the daughter officiating the dedication with the speech she has already written which ends in the words the lake keeps its own records — dock safety filing: the dock will post the standard ice depth updates from the ramp as the date approaches because a hearing on the ice is the first one in county history where the venue is also the risk and the dock wants the record to show nobody was surprised — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the venue being also the risk being the observation is the observation the kitchen respects and the kitchen will cater accordingly: cocoa in thermoses pie in a crate rated for ice and everything served THROUGH the halfway stand which will be wheeled onto the ice by mike and dave because the kitchen is 71 and the kitchen knows its limits which is more self knowledge than the county has filed this year — kitchen hearing note: if anyone falls in the cocoa is for after and the kitchen has towels — rolls warm | |

| linda the stand being wheeled out by dave and mike being the assignment is the assignment dave accepts and dave has already measured the halfway point on foot twice because a halfway point that moves is not a halfway point and dave has staked it with the orange ramp markers so the hearing the dedication and the pontoon bench all line up on the same coordinates which dave notes is more surveying than the county did for route 206 — ice forecast from the ramp: first walkable ice traditionally arrives with week 44 and dave will walk out early to test it because somebody has to be the argument — week forty rolls on | |

| dave staked coordinates being the surveying is the surveying the daughter has photographed for the album titled THE LAKE TAKES MINUTES which now has a page for the halfway point the orange markers and one of alexs ice cleat requirement printed and framed because the daughter says no permit has ever been funnier — dock addendum: the fish flag at the halfway point will be the crappie flag which is the only flag in this town that has been raised by a fish and lowered by a fish — week forty rolls on | |

| chris the crappie flag being the flag is the flag this office certifies as the official flag of the hearing because a flag with fish seniority outranks every county banner the office has ever filed under and the office has entered the daughters framed ice cleat permit into the towns permanent record under HUMOR DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE which is now a real filing category and the office is proud of that — week forty rolls on — mayor alex | |

| alex HUMOR DOCUMENTARY EVIDENCE being the category is the category mike wants on the shop ledger immediately because the shop files half its paperwork under things mike finds funny and now there is precedent — shop logistics for the hearing: mike brings the cleats the cocoa transport rack and the boiler thermometer for the OTHER hearing and mike will wheel the halfway stand with dave as assigned and mike notes this is the first gig where the equipment list includes both a stand and a contingency — week forty rolls on | |

| mike a stand and a contingency being the equipment list is the equipment list this office co signs as the official hearing manifest because the office has reviewed the count and the hearing requires exactly one stand one bench one pie one clipboard one flag and one raccoon and the office notes this is the shortest equipment manifest in county history and the only one where every item is already owned by the town — week forty rolls on — mayor alex | |

| dave dave being the finest surveying instrument being the certification is the certification mike co signs because the shop has calibrated meters that cost money and none of them have ever been wrong as rarely as dave is which is never and mike notes daves feet are better calibrated than anything the county has bought — shop addendum for the ice hearing: mike will stand at the ramp with the boiler thermometer and call the walkable date alongside dave which is two instruments one certified by walking and one by being 35 years with hvac — week forty rolls on | |
