No U-turns

Editor:

I swear, if the good Lord chose McCook for the resurrection of Elvis, city government would find a way to screw it up.

During last weekend's reunion the city allowed beer drinking on a city street (normally illegal) for six hours ... but wouldn't allow U-turns on Norris for the 1 1/2 hour "Cruise Main" event. U-turns were essential to "Cruisin'."

I don't know who the thumb-suckers and wallflowers were who decided decades ago to end Main Street "U-eeeees," but they must have had pitiful teen years.

I suggest the next time an all class reunion is held the registration fee include a $1 U-turn tax. This should give the city more than enough cash to buy trash bags that volunteers could temporarily place over and then remove from the No U-turn signs. If they can tax it, you can bet it will be approved.

I had hoped to get to the library and record some stories but I realized there probably weren't enough CDs in the state to record our escapades which always began and ended "Cruisin' Main."

I think the community and certainly the alumni owe all the volunteers, sponsors and those who hosted class gatherings in their home one hellavu THANK YOU. It was great!

'nuff said.
