I live in a small town. Want to know how I can tell? Not by taking a census, but by reading the free newspaper that is thrown into our ditch on Sunday and Wednesday mornings.
Our town is a bit obsessed with Mayberry, there is a club for it and everything. This past weekend Lawrenceburg celebrated Liberty Days with an annual parade, the first ever Miss Liberty pageant, and by having a "Salute to Mayberrry Days" contest. Who was the officent of the contest and the grand marshall of the parade? None other than Goober. Well I'll be!
Now back to the whole small town bit. The past two newspapers have had very bright and colorful front page pictures, not of the "big boned child" doing a belly flop off the local public pool diving board, (that's reserved for the Manchester Times) but of Goober sights all around town.
Another clue as to our small town status was this headline "Bottle rocket explodes in officer's face". Keep reading, it gets better...
A Lawrenceburg Police Officer was subject to an unpleasant Fourth of July surprise Sunday evening when a bottle rocket flew into the open window of his patrol car and exploded in his face... According to reports filed through the police department, the officer was headed northbound on N. Locust Ave. (the 4 lane in town) when the firework flew into the car and exploded... The officer noted that several vehicles were traveling in the opposite direction, but indicated that he was unable to determine the point from which the bottle rocket originated.
I am amazed at some of the things that happen here. Never a dull moment.
Tidings of Joy... And bottle rockets :)
