MacDonalds doesn’t belong for unlike the other two, MacDonalds has only one clown.

There were two boys from Lower Milford
Who thought an election could be pilfered
Spending money would ensure their fate
Even though they would not debate
But the voters saw through their plan
And dispatched them with élan
Neither boy will be a supervisor
But they will be older and wiser.

Unlike Slyfox my English Lit Prof would not be proud for the only thing I remember from his course is John Donne — For God’s sake hold your tongue, and let me love. But I have remembered a ditty I learned at a frat during that time

The Boy stood on a burning deck
Wishing he never been born
His mother said you wouldn’t have son
If the rubber hadn’t torn.

Who can account for the mind of an engineer?

When I first built my tiny little home here I was told I couldn’t do many things but did I cry, scream and throw tantrums because of it? No, I did not. I am a grown adult who knows sometimes you can’t do what you want. I don’t like it but that’s why we have ordinances and rules so this township can stay in the bucolic nature of which it currently is. It angers me when newer and sometimes younger people come here to build their $500,000+ houses and think that gives them to right to push others around. It needs to be addressed and held in check.

Besides, with more literature arriving this past Saturday, the situations with some of the families causing a rift became clearer. They certainly only gave 1/3 of the story of their situation. Methinks the lady doth protest too much.

The BOS makes decisions based on everyone in the township not just a select few for their own benefit. I don’t like all the rules and regulations either but they are in place to benefit everyone. After all, what would happen if we all just blew through the stop signs or stop lights because we just didn’t feel like it? Keeping Lower Milford the quiet, beautiful and serene area it is now is a very hard job. Progress? Sure, but slowly and carefully. We need to protect what we ALL have.

I know many families who have moved here within the past 5 years and they are the nicest, kindest people and am glad they are in my neighborhood. Especially when they invite me over for grilled steaks! So Rick, again I profusely apologize and never meant any harm. Please accept my apologies if I have offended you.

PS – Ed –“poet laureate”? My English Lit Doc would be proud!

Lower Milford is a great place that has a farming heart and a rural soul. If you liked what you saw, you will like living here. From one newbie to another, welcome.

For if we don’t keep ourselves sane
From incoming trouble and pain
Our lives will upheave
And sorrow will leave
A huge nasty scar on the grain…..

Hopefully on Tuesday, those that know the bottom truth will do the good thing and take out those that want harm to come to us all. Supervisors should make decisions based on the township as a whole – not just for a few that will benefit. Sadly, too many “newbies” want to change things. I thought they left New Jersey to get away from that mess and now they bring it here.

Cry baby cry
Stick your finger in your eye
Tell you momma it was I
Cry baby cry.

A true democracy is one based on an educated public voting for their choice. Hopefully, Pinocchio will help in deciding who is truthful and would serve Lower Milford Township best.

I wonder if the grasshoppers truly understand the importance of ants:

1. Worker Ants life expectancy is twice that of the grasshoppers (60 days compared to 30 days)

2. Worker Ants have two stomachs one to feed themselves and one to feed others.

3. Worker Ants as a colony work to carry 20 times their weight of rubbish out of the nest and keep pristine. Where a swarm of grasshoppers might cause severe damage to crops.

4. Worker Ants help their feathered friends by a liquid they squirt that kills parasites that infest. The grasshoppers major role to the effective functioning of our ecosystem is by being eaten and used by predators like rodents and lizards.

Here’s to the ants! May they continue to work for Lovely Meadows Today!
