It's copperhead season again, folks.

Alas, 2011 managed to be a respectable, non-threatening year for almost three whole days.

Now comes the harsh reminder that your holiday officially has ended. The city council meets tonight, and it will perform the usual year's opening housekeeping tasks, including the selection of officers.

Agenda here

I'm just wondering who's going to be appointed to the CESEARS BOARD -- and, by extension, if someone can answer this question: What is a CESEARS BOARD?

But seriously: Council aficionados know that in a municipal election year, the caterwauling and screeching -- the grandstanding, posturing and coiled copperhead preening -- reach fever pitch. There'll be no more entertaining spectacles at such a bargain basement price, and man, I really hate to miss the show tonight, although it is my intention to reschedule future Monday obligations so that attendance can be fully celebrated, and flasks consumed.

Can someone take pictures of the first ejection of the year?
