to CAT - I would love to but I will be coming from Alex City.
to spot remover and Rick - those are great ideas but you are too late to the table with them. This is too late in the game to muddy the waters with too many options. To me, the options in front of us are simple: to support the 7 foot winter rule and the provisional fall full pool, or not. To talk about other hypotheticals, while well meaning, to me is tantamount to discussing and creating new plays at a goal line stand with one second on the clock. Go with the strongest play that everyone can execute. If 100 people speak with 100 different requests, I don't think that would make much of an impact. Babble. But if we all speak of one accord, in support of what has been on the table for two years, I think we would have a chance.
If you're on the 1 yard line and trying to score, sure, there are conceivably 100 plays that might work. Let's go with our strongest play, I say.
It is also my personal opinion that lack of community cohesiveness has hurt us here. Time spent, for example, arguing against AP's proposal for 7 feet, saying they were greedy and all of that, was wasteful. Sure, I would have loved to get 5 feet, too. But I think that time, energy, money and resource should have been focused on supporting the 7 foot, e.g.
Obviously I have no way to prove that, but it's just my take. A house divided cannot stand.
