Mayors get the darndest calls. One came two days ago.

The manager of our beauty shop in Freehold, HairforHim, called. "Do you know about this new hair fad, feather hair extensions? We have a problem. The feather suppliers are out of feathers. Do you have any ideas that might help?"

First, of course, she had to explain this feather thing. I had never heard of it.

But, then I had an idea. Yes, we have thousands of feathers right here in Freehold. They are on those song birds that bother our Pastors when they are writing books and sermons on their decks.

We've had city staff pulling down bird houses and bird nests for a year now trying to rid the City of the pesky little beasties. But, there seem to be more of them than ever.

So, I told the beauty shop lady she should ask her husband to get some feathers with his shot gun.

Did I ever tell you it is great being the Mayor of Freehold?

I know brother BJ and his boys in security bag eagles all the time when they're target practicing. Maybe the church could sell their carcasses and raise a few pesos for the Pastors Assistance Fund.

I wondered where all those feather extensions were coming from. I assumed China. They look ridiculous. I think they should be banned.
