This parks suspense is making me want to self-medicate.

The anticipation is building to ketchup-like proportions. What does Parson Clere intend to say about all this park splitting? How on earth can we proceed without wisdom and direction from the only perfect politician this city has produced ... well, since Verle Huffman, at least.

NASH: Has the time come to split the parks?

... If the officials in Floyd County can’t come up with the money to fund the parks department properly, maybe it is time for a split. There are many details to work out. It will be tough in the beginning to launch our city’s new parks department, but maybe the time has come. It is clear that Floyd County elected officials have very little intention on doing what is necessary for a vibrant park system in our community.

Giddiness envelops us: It's city council meeting night!

Who will be selected as officers?

Who'll be appointed to the committees?

How will the council members adapt to their plush new digs?

How will citizen speakers adapt to the new podium?

Can I make it through the excitement without recourse to strong drink?

We'll find out soon enough.
