First Annual March 32nd Coloring Contest
Following the late Friday afternoon announcement that the ill-conceived, overpriced, hard-to-reach parcel of land that his subordinates had tried to foist on the citizenry as the only spot of land on planet Earth that could possibly serve the burgeoning needs of an exponentially growing Westside populace comprised primarily of children who spring from the womb equipped with a bat, a ball glove and a ball cap, the County Executive raised his wetted finger into the wind and concluded the best time to ditch the deal and distance himself from a Major League faux pas was immediately prior to resumption of the peasants’ weekend long focus on March Madness. After expressing oblique chagrin that the rabble couldn’t see the wisdom of a closed selection process, a sale price Willie Sutton would have approved, and understand the trickle-down economic benefits that would accrue to the seller and whoever held their loan, he ran up the white flag and responded to the dinner bell.
In the immediate aftermath of this shocking turn of events, speculation about the further fortunes of this choice morsel has spread across the county. A consensus has quickly evolved. With the publication earlier in the day of the information that 160,000 members of the Larsen family were loading up their Conestoga wagons and heading in our direction, the only logical course of action would be for the City of Salisbury to embark on a pipestem annexation of the parcel in order to provide shelter for these immigrants, and more importantly to seize the tax and water revenue they would yield from their freshly constructed suburban estates. End of discussion.
Your task, dear reader, is to identify the eventual path the pipestem will take. Download a map section from Mapquest and color in your guess as to the route that will be selected. Longest, most convoluted routing generating largest contract award and greatest inconvenience to traveling public will win; however routing must be able to be traversed in no more than 24 hours of metric time in its entirety by a diesel powered Prius using no more than ¾ tank of fuel stolen from the landfill. Mail your entry on the back of a penny postcard to Sassafras World Headquarters. Entries must be postmarked and received on March 32, 2008. Decision of the Parks Department judges is final unless word leaks out to citizens. Choice of prize: Admission to a 2008 HS Prom of your choice at the Civic Center or free admission to Skatepark 2008 at the same venue. Decision to be announced December 32, 2008.
