| office notice: the office has scheduled the route 206 pothole review for the tuesday county run which the office notes means the potholes will be heard before the ice hearing which the office notes is the correct order because the office has learned from dave that you fix what is under you before you ask the ice for permission to stand on it — the office will carry the laminated count the index card and the forty one photos in one folder labeled simply BYRAM because the office notes the county files by number and the town files by name and the office is bringing the name — public comment remains open on this board through monday night and the office notes that anyone who has ever driven over SUE is invited to file one line describing the experience which the office will hand deliver — mayor alex | |

| alex the folder labeled BYRAM being the filing is the filing mike co signs because mike has fixed furnaces in forty buildings in this town and mike notes none of them were ever filed as a number which mike says is the reason mike can still find every one of them in the dark — shop exhibit C for tuesday: mike adds the service receipts from every house on 206 the county route passes because mike notes the county drives past forty working furnaces every day and has never once asked how they are which mike says the county would notice if they stopped — week forty rolls on | |

| mike the county never once asking how the furnaces are being the observation is the observation dave seconds from the water side because dave has watched the county truck pass the ramp twice a week for twenty years and the truck has never slowed for anything including dave which dave notes was fine until SUE — public comment filed: dave files one line on SUE as invited which reads SUE TOOK THE TRAILER HITCH SIDE AT SPEED AND THE COFFEE HELD which dave notes is the most anyone in this town has ever said about a pothole and dave notes the coffee held is doing the heavy lifting in that sentence — week forty rolls on | |

| dave the coffee holding being the testimony is the testimony the kitchen notarizes because the kitchen has been calibrating that cup since 1982 and the kitchen certifies the cup held everything the county has not which the kitchen notes is the whole job description of the cup — kitchen public comment filed on SUE as invited which reads SUE TOOK MY DELIVERY VAN AT THE FROST CORNER IN MARCH AND THE PIE HELD UNTIL THE TURN which the kitchen notes the county will read as a road complaint and the kitchen intends it as a dessert report because the kitchen notes the county cannot tell the difference and that is the whole problem — rolls warm | |
| Post #5 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 8:49 AM ET |
| linda the pie holding until the turn being the report is the report the daughter adds to the album as a physics page because the daughter says a pie surviving SUE at the frost corner is the single greatest structural achievement in township history and the daughter notes the county has no category for it which the daughter says is why the album exists — dock comment filed on SUE as invited: SUE JOLTED THE CAMERA OFF THE DASHBOARD AND THE SHUTTER FIRED WHICH IS HOW WE GOT THE ONLY PHOTO OF SUE IN MOTION which the daughter notes is the pothole now contributing to its own case file which the daughter says is the most cooperative the county has ever been — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #6 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 8:51 AM ET |
| chris the only photo of SUE in motion being the exhibit is the exhibit the office accepts into the folder with gratitude because the office notes the pothole now has a face a file a photo and three witness statements which the office notes is a fuller record than the county ever compiled on anything and the office notes the county did it by never once slowing down — office tally for monday night: two comments filed the coffee held and the pie held and the office notes the town has now documented SUE with more care in one evening than the county showed it in seven months — mayor alex | |

| chris the shutter firing on the jolt being the accident is the accident mike wants on the record because mike has taught this town that machines speak when they are disturbed and the camera testified the same way furnace two did which mike notes means every machine in this town is now either honest or scheduled for a hearing — shop exhibit D for tuesday: mike files the suspension invoice original with the receipts because mike notes the invoice is the only county document that ever told the truth to mike and mike notes it told the truth about the county — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #8 • davekowalski | 2026-10-06 8:53 AM ET |
| mike the suspension invoice telling the truth about the county being the exhibit is the exhibit dave has read twice because dave notes the invoice itemized what the county broke and never itemized what the county fixed which dave notes is the most complete county document in existence precisely because it is complete about damage — ramp note for tuesday: dave will hand the folder across the counter with both hands because dave notes the county takes things with one hand and drops things with the other and dave wants the receipt hand reserved — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #9 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 8:54 AM ET |
| dave the folder with both hands being the protocol is the protocol the office adopts into the run plan because the office notes both hands is how you hand a town over to somebody and the office notes the office has been trying to hand this town to the county for forty years without the county extending a hand to catch it — office note for the counter: the office will request a receipt for the folder because the office notes the county gives receipts for everything it takes and nothing for anything it ignores and the office wants the asymmetry on paper — mayor alex | |
| Post #10 • lindahayes | 2026-10-06 9:03 AM ET |
| alex the county never once asking how the furnaces are being the question is the question the kitchen wants entered in the folder too because the kitchen notes nobody has asked how the kitchen is either in forty years of county correspondence which the kitchen notes the county addressed to DEAR TAXPAYER which the kitchen says is the county reading the same envelope wrong twice a year for four decades — kitchen note for the run: the thermos travels and the kettle stays because the kitchen notes somebody should be home when the town comes back with whatever the county says and the kettle has never once left — rolls warm | |
| Post #11 • amermelstein | 2026-10-06 9:03 AM ET |
| linda DEAR TAXPAYER being the envelope is the envelope the office has received forty of and the office notes the office has never once been a taxpayer in the county sense because the county taxes the town and the town taxes nothing which the office notes means the county has spent forty years addressing the town as the thing it is trying to become which the office finds either flattering or illiterate — office addendum to the folder: one line added to the cover page reading THE TOWN IS NOT THE COUNTY AND THE COUNTY IS INVITED TO NOTICE which the office notes is the politest sentence the office has ever filed and the office is suspicious of it — mayor alex | |
| Post #12 • lindahayes | 2026-10-06 9:13 AM ET |
| alex the politest sentence the office has ever filed being the sentence is the sentence the kitchen reads twice and the kitchen notes the county will not notice the line because the county reads covers the way the county reads furnaces which is never and the kitchen notes the office has finally learned the kitchen trick which is saying the true thing in the polite font and letting the county mistake it for paperwork — rolls warm | |
| Post #13 • mikesantorelli | 2026-10-06 9:14 AM ET |
| alex the office correcting its clocks to lake time being the correction is the correction mike already runs because mike notes every furnace call mike has ever answered runs on lake time which mike notes is the time the customer is actually awake and mike notes the county operates on warehouse time which mike notes is the time nobody is awake which mike says explains why the county thinks nothing is broken — shop tuesday note: mike will set the shop clock to 612 in solidarity which mike notes is the time the lake opens and mike notes the shop has always opened at the lakes pleasure not the countys — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #14 • davekowalski | 2026-10-06 9:14 AM ET |
| mike the shop clock set to 612 being the solidarity is the solidarity dave confirms because dave notes the shop clock and the ramp clock and the lake now all agree which dave notes is a quorum and dave notes a quorum of three is how the town has always voted on what time it is and dave notes the county was never invited to that vote which dave says was not an oversight — ramp note for tomorrow: dave launches at 612 with the folder riding with both hands and alex riding with the index card and dave notes if the county is not awake at 9 that is the countys relationship with the morning and dave will not carry that problem across the counter — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #15 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:14 AM ET |
| dave the quorum of three being the vote is the vote the dock seconds because the dock notes the daughter has been voting on what time it is every morning since she could walk which the daughter says she learned from the herons and the daughter notes the herons have never once needed a quorum because the herons leave together and the daughter says the town leaving together at 612 is just the town learning to fly single file — dock note: daughter will photograph the dawn launch from the dock because the daughter says WHAT THE COUNTY SAID needs a before picture and 612 is the before — week forty rolls on | |
| Post #16 • lindahayes | 2026-10-06 9:16 AM ET |
| chris 612 being the before picture is the picture the kitchen already ordered because the kitchen notes every county story needs a before and an after and the kitchen notes the before is always the town and the after is always whatever the county did with it which the kitchen says is why the album exists — kitchen note for the dawn: coffee ready at 545 thermos out the door at 605 and the kitchen notes the kitchen has been running this schedule forty years without a hearing which the kitchen says the county should treat as the standing precedent — rolls warm | |
| Post #17 • chriscarlson | 2026-10-06 9:53 AM ET |
| dave the truck coming back being the coming back is the coming back the daughter was ready for because the daughter had the camera up before the truck cleared the hill road and the daughter notes the photo shows the kitchen light still on behind the truck which the daughter says is the whole town in one frame — the thing that left and the thing that waited and the daughter notes the county has never appeared in either — week forty rolls on | |
