[Vision2020] LMT: Lewiston City Council creates growth task force

[g. crabtree]

And remember, We live in an expanding universe. All of it is trying to
get away from Chuck Norris.

I suspect that at least part of the reason has to do with the Yasser Arafat 
facial hair. I mean really, either grow a beard and mustache or don't. This 
sorta kinda stuff is a little to "metro" for most real, true , red blooded, 
patriotic, God fearing, pledge saying, Wal- Mart lovin' Americans to 
tolerate. I mean how long does it take everyday to keep that thing so 
perfectly mowed? Don't get me wrong, back in the day, maybe. But now? All I 
can say is Guthy Renker infomercials.
