Blame the Name

Who says nothing fun happens in Ohio?  Dayton, home of aviation and pneumatic tires, is also home of the Dayton News, which is running a story I’m not bothering linking to but: it’s the heartwarming story of a principal and teacher’s aide getting caught at 7:30 am doing some extracurriculars while in a stationary vehicle at the local park.  The region where the incident took place is called Xenia Township - emphasis on the “X.” The specific area where the infraction occurred was Pierce Park, and the individuals involved are now on administrative leave from their jobs at the Beavercreek Falls school district.  Only in the heartland, people, can we get so many entertainingly euphemistic names in one story.  And that ought to do it for me today.  One more big meeting today but this one is at home.  Wish me luck and I’ll be back with more of that great chucklehut irreverence soon enough, goddamn it.
