| this office walked route 206 this week with a clipboard and a pencil the county cannot borrow because the county does not own one that works and the office has completed the annual unofficial pothole count: forty one potholes of which four could hold a crappie and one could hold dave. the count is unofficial because potholes on route 206 are COUNTY jurisdiction which the office reminds the county annually in writing and the county reminds the office annually with silence. the clipboard record now exists and will be laminated and presented at the ice hearing as evidence that a town with no budget can count faster than a county with one. — mayor alex | |

| alex one pothole that could hold dave being the measurement is the measurement the dock disputes because dave has measured himself against the pothole by standing in it and dave reports it could hold dave AND a cooler which alexs pencil underestimated by exactly one cooler — dock census note: the daughter wants the pothole census as an album page titled THE COUNTY LAKE which the dock supports because the only thing on route 206 deeper than the water is the jurisdiction dispute — week forty rolls on | |

| chris dave AND a cooler being the revised capacity is the revised capacity dave confirms because dave stood in the pothole TWICE once dry and once after the county sprinkler truck drove past which dave notes is the closest route 206 has come to a water feature and the daughter is right about the county lake album because the county has already stocked route 206 with forty one potholes and no fish which is the worst stocking job in new jersey history — ramp log line 19: pothole 7 now has a name — week forty rolls on | |

| dave pothole 7 having a name being the development is the development mike requests for the record because the shop truck has been filing suspension damage against pothole 7 since 2021 and mike has spent 340 dollars in parts the county should be invoicing for and mike votes the name be SUE — shop adds pothole 7 to the winter watch list right under the furnace vents because pothole 7 holds water which freezes which makes pothole 7 worse which mike notes is the counties life cycle also — week forty rolls on | |

| mike SUE being the name is the name this office certifies because a pothole that has cost mike 340 dollars has earned a legal identity and the office has filed pothole 7 into the clipboard record as SUE COUNTY JURISDICTION which is the funniest and most accurate line item this office has ever written — office will mail the laminated count to the county with return receipt requested because the office wants proof the county signed for its own pothole — mayor alex | |

| alex return receipt requested being the paperwork is the paperwork dave volunteers for because dave is at the county office most tuesdays anyway filing complaints about the same pothole and dave would enjoy watching a county clerk sign for a laminated picture of their own road — dave will bring the good flannel for the occasion and the clipboard record will ride in the truck cab which is the safest place anything has ever ridden in this town — week forty rolls on | |

| dave dave handling the return receipt being the delegation is the delegation this office confirms because the office has reviewed the routing and dave is already at the county office more often than the county is which the office notes is the lowest cost courier contract in municipal history at zero dollars and one flannel — the office also certifies the daughter should photograph the clerk signing for SUE because the town deserves the moment archived — mayor alex | |

| chris the ramp going armed being the readiness is the readiness this office notes is one pie above the countys standard which is zero pies — office logistics for tuesday finalized: dave carries the laminated count mike carries the invoice linda carries the pie and the office carries the ceremony because somebody has to make the signing feel official and the office has practiced its serious face in the mirror — mayor alex | |

| alex the serious face being the practice is the practice the kitchen endorses because the kitchen has watched alex practice serious faces since he ran for the school board in 97 and the kitchen notes the face has never once survived contact with the town which the kitchen counts as a blessing — kitchen note for tuesday: the pie travels in a crate rated for county offices which is the same crate as the ice rated crate because the kitchen has learned that the county and the lake freeze the same way just one of them thaws — rolls warm | |
