THE MILAGRO BEAN FIELD ROAD WAR

Remeber the Milagro Bean Field War? Well, something similar to that has been waging on the Ellsworth / Lincoln County lines for months, maybe years. It's been a war for a long time now with attacks coming from the north then the south by the contending County Attorneys.

The weapons come mostly from Lincoln County in the form of paper from the court house, strange legal writings from their County Commissioners and huge earth moving machines, earth graders and signage. Yesterday, Lincoln County had three huge road graders on the scene, their weapons of war. The scene being very hard to find and totally crazy.

I've heard the Lincoln County road crew went out the other day...maybe today...and repaired the road. That means it is really fixed on the Lincoln County side, but they probably created a twelve inch drop off on the Ellsworth side. We played this stanza before. I should go look at it, if I can find it.

There could be a book written about this. A movie might follow. It is material for another Milagro Bean Field War. This is an incredibly pointless story, with no logical conclusion...just a mess of bickering over a little dirt dirt...soil...a road that doesn't exist...etc, etc, etc.

Maybe some hot summer day when I want to be inside, I'll go dig the stuff out of the courthouse so we'll all have something to talk about.
