From the Peanut Gallery

There are occasions -- we here at Scoop fully admit -- when we feel like members of the Peanut's cast in the classroom, trying to understand the teacher. Often we sit there in the audience of government meetings, mouths agape, hearing little more than confusing, squawking noises coming from those on the dais.

Tuesday night at city council, the reporters weren't the only folks in a haze.

Mayor Yvonne Johnson attended the meeting "telephonically" (she listened over the phone, since she was in Texas visiting family.) But every time she offered some comment, it came out painfully muddled.

When she was voicing her support for an incentive request, it came out something like, "Whunh wunhch waah wunh waaa."

Looks like council might have to reconsider their telephone attendance policy -- unless someone can get a better connection.
