Murphy's Laws for Alamo Incorporation
Around Town, posted by Forest Warn, a resident of the Alamo neighborhood, on Oct 23, 2007 at 7:12 am

This is simply too applicable not to share, neighbors:

Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.

Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

Nothing is foolproof to a sufficiently talented fool.

The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there's a 90% probability you'll get it wrong.

A fine is a tax for doing wrong. A tax is a fine for doing well.

Smile,

Forest "Fore" Warn

My favorite Murphy's Law is, "If four things can go wrong and you plan for them, a FIFTH will develop!" which we can all say, "I'll drink to that!

Celebrate humor,

Vern

The greatest use of Murphy's Law is the lie, "Sign our petition to ask for a feasability study to see if Alamo can be a city." Murphy has already recognized that everything Alamo expected will not happen. What will happen, nobody, but nobody, will want.

Murphy's Law should read, if it is Alamo then it has been screwed up by the local leadership. No matter what can go wrong, it will and the local lunatics will blame someone else for the results. Murphy's law is Alamo California.

Diane,

"Alamo is a great place to be far from!"

Happy New Year!

Murphy will be celebrating the ancient Celtic new year this November 1 with a special new year's eve celebration on October 31. From all that are Forest Warn, let us wish you a bright new beginning for the new year and a joyous holiday season.

It was Murphy who said, "When in doubt, stay there! It is better than knowing an awful answer!"

Dear Alamo neighbors,

It is serious business, this tomfoolery, that started with a few among the Alamo Towne Fool in the late 1990's. Over the years, in mostly private exchanges, our 60 or so humorists have enjoyed the review of Alamo goings-on in towns named Alamo and Poplar throughout North America.

Recently, a new identity was developed for towne fool public commentary, Forest "Fore" Warn. You will likely note that Forest Warn is pronounced Forsworn and Fore Warn is Forworn. In humor, the 60 or so Alamode'ans throughout North America are providing observations on their communities to various on-line newspapers.

Our humorists have been joined recently by Alamo California neighbors that wish to expand their commentary and place a sharper edge on the humor. Now there are many that are Forest "Fore" Warn among the Alamo Region. I do not plan to be one among this group.

Thank you for the many calls and e-mails that have provided personal viewpoints on Alamo CA regional and community matters. My response has been confidential with referrals to those that might answer your questions and concerns. I have withdrawn for Alamo California community activities, closed the yahoo addresses that provided community courtesies, and consider myself some place else (as humor).

Best wishes,

Harald A. Bailey
