Not to mention the mayor, who I've always said is dumber than a box of rocks. This is a new low for this laughing stock of a town.

The pattern on the clown's pants almost makes it look like snot dripping from the bull's nose. Is that bull trying to square up a kick with that side eye stare?

Comment from a resident on FB:

Hey, back off, it was just a one time thing. Usually we’re all driving our little coolers around town. People come from miles around in the summer just to participate in the cooler races to win a stuffed coyote. We get so excited we have nightmares about it, so give us a break.

It may just be a coincidence, but I put a stuffed animal (Babar), who was wrapped in faux wolf hide, in a motorized cooler, in my shed while I was doing some yard work, and they both disappeared when I went in for lunch, about two weeks ago.
