Lawn parking considered

Red-tennied ambassador to the raccoon king comes in for coffee and raccoon crackers this morning. He bore a message from his liege: we are to feel at liberty to retire to the sewer at Arcadian and Colton in order to travel about unencumbered by the circa forty (40) trains that pass by daily.

Like the raccoons of the sewer, we must go automobile-less, but we will come up safely on the other side of the Arcadian crossing at Caroline St. and likewise at the several other ham-strung be-tracked streets via the underpasses in place. No waiting for the endless railroad commerce to pass.

The King suggested that the raccoon district might want to charge for parking cars on lawns, as people do at the state fair in West Allis. The sewer raccoons will clean up the sewers in appropriate sections for a lawn parking surcharge of 25% of all parking revenue.

This win-win is being looked into. It may also be a way of providing spectators traveling to the city with adequate parking when the Bullfrog baseball league takes over Frame Park.

That mis-use of the tranquil park is a travesty, by the way. And although such an entertainment with its resulting concession debris would please ditched hotdog- munching coons, the raccoon population opts instead for the peaceful use of the park as it was. Like is was w-a-y back, when camping hobos shared their meager fare.

That was the other part of the King's message. A certain and only right streak of Conservatism obtains, apparently, even among Waukesha raccoons.
