I like the newspaper’s new format and although it may initially mean a little more work for the Major, in the future it will actually give him plenty of opportunity to do Mr. Anderson’s laundry in the morning and then have lots of time to make sandwiches and pots of tea for The Supreme Commander later in the afternoon. For his part, I imagine our mighty leader will be able to grab more naps and listen to “Democracy Now” and his other favorite KZYX programs for hours on end.

Let’s hope that Sheriff Tom Allman’s unopposed third term in office works better than the ballpoint pens he handed out at a fundraiser I attended. It was a very good event and clearly he is a very popular Sheriff, but everyone’s gift pen failed miserably.

I have a warning about the downtown Boonville property owner, David “I’m not greedy” Johnson, the landlord of the “Pick and Pay” market and the two empty retail spaces next door, formerly the Boonville Saloon (Lodge) and Anel’s Restaurant. I see that he is looking for new tenants and, while I am a big advocate of commerce in the Valley, and hope a business(es) will thrive there, I urge prospective small business owners to perform full due diligence when signing any sort of lease with this dubious character.

Is it just me or is anyone else having trouble sleeping without the comforting roar of the wineries’ frost protector fans over this past week?

Yes, readers, it’s the 400th edition of “Bird’s Eye View by Turkey Vulture” and as you can see by the photograph I don’t look a day over 399!

I am writing this in a sleep-deprived state of anger. The Valley is in uproar. Everybody is talking about it. I refer to the noise pollution produced by the fans used at various wineries to protect their vines against frost.
