The mystery is solved as to why my previous Capevine postings disappeared. According to the people who run the site, the release of an excessively large quantity of hot air from District 5 caused a disruption in the space-time continuum. They said that the postings are still there, just in another dimension. Therefore, they are not visible to us at this time. They also told me that the disturbance could correct itself with another such burst of hot air. Based upon who lives in District 5, that could come at any moment. Stay tuned.
Well, there was good news and bad news that came out of the last City Council meeting. First the bad news. Lippy LePera’s term has been extended six months as a result of the Council vote to move City elections to November of odd numbered years. The City Council was not happy with the spring election turnout and truly believes that moving it to November will help. I’m not sure the City can withstand six more months of Lippy, but only time will tell. Of course, that means that her husband, Ralph “Lizard” LePera will also be around creating havoc for all who disagree with his ramblings.
As far as improving voter turnout is concerned…good luck. The only reason there was such a large turnout for City elections in even numbered years is because the voters figured that since they were already there voting for either the President or Governor, why not vote for City Council members also. Lippy’s been harping on the November in odd numbered years election for what seems like forever. I will take a great deal of delight in letting you know how wrong she was when the turnout for fall elections is as dismal as it was for those held in the spring.
After the bad news, I’m sure you’re wondering what the good news could possibly be. Actually, it’s not good for you, but it’s fantastic for me. You see, I get another six months to trash, bash and otherwise point out the fact that Lippy has not accomplished anything during her entire term in office. Considering that Lizard is thrown in for good measure, I can trash two for the price of one. WEE DOGGIES!!!

I see where Mayor Eric “Phony” Feichthaler was once again shot down by the City Council members who didn’t like the fact that he was trying to take control of the City, much like his predecessor, Mayor Grumpy. Phony wanted to curtail the use of computers during Council meetings. Specifically, he did not want any of the Council members who bring computers to the meetings to send or receive email or use the Internet. Fortunately, Council members Boyd, Day, Jeffers and Rosado didn’t like the fact that Phony was playing “Big Brother” and trying to impart his will on those he considers his lowly servants.
Phony, like his predecessor Mayor Grumpy, apparently doesn’t realize that he has no more power than the other seven members of the City Council. He just happens to occupy the Mayor’s seat, a mistake we all have to live with until the voters see the error of their ways and boot his butt right out of office…assuming, of course, that he can last one term. You see, rumor has it that he isn’t making any money other than the pittance he receives as Mayor. One can only wonder how long that will last before his wife tells him to go out and get a real job.
Phony is so full of himself that he actually believes he won the election over Grumpy because he had so much more to offer. Methinks he needs to wake up and smell the coffee. He didn’t win the election. Grumpy lost it. Actually, some people think Grumpy lost the election because he didn’t do anything positive for the City. Those people also need to wake up and smell the coffee. He lost the election because voters saw him as an obnoxious and overbearing old man who wanted to control the City and everybody in it. Change the old to young in the previous sentence and you have…drum roll please…Phony.
Yessirree Bob, I sure did like the “female dog slap” those four members of the City Council put on His Dishonor, Mayor Phony. Keep up the good work boys. You made my day.

I see where Steve “Terrible” Teuber left the scene of a fender bender a couple of weeks ago. He reportedly was late for a meeting and left the scene without leaving any insurance info for the driver of the car he hit. What he didn’t plan on was the other driver writing down his tag number and reporting him to the “authorities”. Now Teuber is in a bit of hot water.
He stated that he recently passed the Florida Bar exam and is now a member of that illustrious group that “practice” law on the rest of us. One would think that after all those years of practice, the lawyers would know how to do it and wouldn’t need any more practice. Oh well. They must be slow learners.
Terrible also stated that he wouldn’t represent himself in this case because, as the old adage goes, “a lawyer who represents himself has a fool for a client”. I’m not so sure that applies to every lawyer, but in his case…
And now, emails from readers.
Dear Paco,
Rumor has it that Steve Teuber wants to join the State Attorney’s office and work for Steve Russell. Any thoughts?

Dear S.R.
He’ll fit right in.
Dear Paco,
I know you’ve been critical of Councilman Rosado in the past, but I’m beginning to think he has turned into a pretty good Council member. Don’t you agree?
Mrs. M. R.
Dear Mrs. M.R.
