Congratulations, Gordon. I know that you’ll do much to build real community throughout Asheville and hope that you take the initiative to work with Buncombe County officials and citizens in productive ways.
We’re having issues with our recyclables being picked up, and there’s delivery trucks blocking the already congested road, and there was a piece of trash on the sidewalk this morning, and a dog was doing his business on the park in front of our building, and the pigeons are leaving presents on my car, and the little tree beside our parking deck was abused by a passing child and needs a trim, and my water is not flowing fast enough, and the street sweeper needs to sweep the streets, and the bears are knocking over trash cans, and the chickens are clucking too much, and we’re in the ETJ but we’re not getting the services we deserve, and the ……
We’re so proud of you up here in Watauga! You were part of a state-wide impressive showing of progressive strength. So much for that big tea-bagger revolution! Now, go pave those pot-holes!
I for one will miss having Carl to kick around. Half-seriously, really. Say what you like about the guy, and I’ve said some harsh things myself, I truly believe he was in it because he wanted to serve. Even while disagreeing with him, I always found him to be sincere, hard-working, and with a genuine sense of humor. I’m glad he lost, but I look forward to him finding a way to annoy us again in the future.
Barry, I don’t know how many others agree with you re: Carl, but I do. All the same, I was pulling for “write-in” to come in fourth, and a little disappointed when Carl managed to pull it out.

Gordon, you ran an excellent campaign that I hope conservatives in Asheville can learn from, though I very much doubt it.

Not only is it a trip and a half having you and Cecil there because of your integrity, but because of your creativity as well.
