Its been 5 weeks now since the 'beach' at Higgs began registering poor on the shit scale. Naturally this fabulous news has been safely hidden away in the back of a mostly unread local rag, or ignored altogether.
I feel it is my duty to inform. So here's the newsflash! Don't swim in the waters off Higgs 'beach'. It has been found to contain unacceptable levels of enterococci bacteria. Yes that is as gross and smelly as it sounds. You will acquire a nasty staf infection to take home, as a lovely souvenir.
Personally I wouldn't even stop anywhere close to Higgs. The Bum Mafia pretty much runs the joint and the constant drunken screaming emanating from their stinking, toothless maws, should be enough to warn all but the stupidest of tourists, to stay the fuck away. The cute painted cabana type things are usually covered in a variety of bum scum. Everything from blood covered broken Majorska bottles to, well blood covered bums.
Avoid this place like the plague you are very likely to contract from it.
In other news, I posted this on Craigs, but here 'tis for you.
Oh this is beautiful. The 'Affordable' housing czar for Monroe County, Jerry Coleman, is quitting because he cannot live on the $250 PER HOUR the job pays him. The county has agreed to renegotiate his contract with a "fair, but not outrageous fee". I'm sorry but paying someone $100 per hour to sit on his ass and tell local retar.. politicians that the county needs affordable housing, is too much. I can tell them for free!
HEY! ASSHOLES, we need about 15,000 affordable RENTAL units. NOW.
There, hows that.
