My TV sucks

Its expensive running stuff. Stuff like a Sheriff's office must be really expensive. It takes plenty of clams to keep one of those things running when times are good. Now that times aren't so good it must be even harder so a good manager needs to make every penny count and be careful not to miss out on sweet funding opportunities.

Ranger Francis probably has figured this out by now and that would explain why he quit watering the landscaping out at the old Sheriff's Office place and at the substations. I haven't seen the one over in Lucerne lately but some guy pointed out that its nice that the place is all color coordinated because the grass matches the paint on the building now that all the grass has died.

Same thing over at Poobah central.


I guess Francis did his checkbook and figured out that the Indian money he blew off could be made up by not watering the plants and getting rid of all those officer dudes that used to work for him. I guess it must be kinda lonely sitting out there with all the dead grass but at least there aren't too many other cops around so its not like like the dead lawn is a regular topic of conversation.

Seems those heroic cost saving measures aren't enough though so Francis figured out another way to save money by cutting off the cable to the board of supervisors so they don't have to spend that money putting stuff on TV like those grievance hearings, for instance.

The only weird thing is that he didn't just call up mediacom and tell em to turn it off. He got his BFF Tommy to come over with his ladder and they chopped off the cable with his scissors. I guess that's what an action figure, protocol hating guy like Ranger Francis does when he wants something done. Don't mess around, just chop off that cable we'll save enough money to water the lawn or something.

Imagine my surprise when I flipped on the old RCA and nothing happened.

Stupid TV.

After I threw some hard boiled eggs at it it dawned on me that Ranger Francis did that to save the county money because it sure couldn't have had anything to do with sabotaging those televised grievance hearings. I kinda wanted to watch those but Ranger Francis knows what's best for me so I just sat around playing with my stinky old tony and denise sock puppets that I got on sale when Olivia's closed after those mean old gubmint dudes made Tom plead guilty.

Sock puppets are neat!
