Diner News from Jamestown - Politicians And Fishermen . . . This year will be a highly unusual season with both politicians and fisherman simultaneously criss-crossing the state. by John E. Moss, posted from Jamestown, Russell County, KY At the Manners diner on Monument Square, little has been said about the pilfering of Campaign signs last friday night. There seemed to be bigger and more important fish to fry. An unnamed local source, who used to be a judge, was talking about recently catching a fish. He said that one fish wasn't quite enough for his appetite and he was going to have to get up to at least a few two fish days. Generally, most gathered at the diner thought this was a good idea though it should be noted for the record that no one challenged the fish story itself. Early campaigning is well under way Just outside the front windows, a local candidate for public office was observed going into the neighboring Jamestown Cafe. It would seem to the most casual of observers that early campaigning may have been detected far beyond the scope of hundreds and hundreds of colorful campaign signs planted with wild abandonment throughout the county. Generally, it is not until the middle of April or later that candidates indulge in three or four diner breakfasts, or lunches a day as they hop diner to diner, or eatery to eatery seeking the ever elusive vote. The timetable must be related to the possible changing of the seasons. A phenomenon: the clash of seasons - Election and Fishing at same time The warming temperatures also have fishermen starting to pull their boats out of storage. It is close to fishing tournament time all over the bluegrass. This year will be a highly unusual season with both politicians and fisherman simultaneously criss-crossing the state. There will be without doubt unrelenting fishing, handshaking, telling of tall tales and stories of great personal accomplishments. Who would have speculated such a feat from both groups would be realized at the same time. I think as the fishing and political seasons progress, people will find that it is quite possible . . . the horrendous and prolonged screaming they hear behind them will be the truth being beaten to death on a regular basis. We will have to wait a while longer to find out the true identity of the culprit or culprits. Still working on that. I remain respectfully, s/Yr. humble scribe, g, (for Geezer) This story was posted on 2010-03-10 05:03:29
