I could go on and on with the Over/Under but then it would violate the spirit of the rules to specifically reference an individual by name when discussing TM matters.
Odds the zoning by-law for the bond for a special permit pass: 1 to make five.
Odds it fails: 2 to make 1. (No judgment here, simply odds).
Odds some comic tries to work in a feel the Bern line: even.
Odds town meeting finishes today: 3 to make 1.
Odds we hear complaints about the new format: Even.
Odds lunch will be served at TM: no line.
Odds some member tries to speak on an article to be passed over: 1 to make 1 1/2 (should be an even money article, but being in an optimistic mood, I am hoping people realize discussion is for articles to be voted on).
Odds some simple article turns into the biggest debate of the day: 2 to make 1. It would be odd if it did not happen.
Odds I am going to find the motivation to get it into gear an actually show up: Even.
There will be a bunch of other odd things happening today, however with a limited bank, can't lay down a line for every oddity.
Things to be grateful for holding a May 7th Town Meeting:
No real opportunity for any Cinco de Mayo jokes or May the Fourth be with you jokes.
Both the weather and the obligation provide a guilt free excuse for not cutting the grass today.
Hey, I know it ain't much today, but with the really big stuff being yanked from the line-up, not much to stoke the fire for the day.
Be safe.
