I wrote a letter to the Mayor.

“You did what?”

She laughed.

That’s okay, I get laughed at.

A lot.

“Yeah, I told him that Little Rock has lost it’s curb appeal.”

“That’s stupid.”

I get that a lot too.

Told I’m stupid.

Told it’s crazy.

And I get it.

I know all these things.

It takes an idiot to run a marathon.

Hello, Apex Predator, what’s chasing you?

It takes a special kind of idiot to run an ultra-marathon.

And I’m not even sure there’s a word for the kind of dummy who runs three in one year.

Not normal, maybe.

Deluded? Possibly.

Maybe the kind of delusions that think writing a note to the mayor of a mid-size town will actually make an impact.

Because anybody can bitch about where they live, or how something is being run.

Offering a simple, easy solution with low cost options, well, sometimes, that’s just the kind of idiocy this world needs.
