tangential news
From the editor's mailbox. I can't make sense of most of it, but the end is where everything goes awry.
Is he really proposing changing the name of the town to Smooth Move? Possibly, but why would this stand the test of time? That, readers, is the mystery of mailbag poetry.
Albany Station: Music or gas?
Comment on "Name Done Right" (Editorial, Aug. 17):
Now that the Albany station is named the Albany Station, the next thing on the list I think we should change is the town's name to the Albany Station. Just this week, I bought gas at the Albany Station. Then I turned the radio on and got the Albany Station, so it depends on what you're looking for. It's got to be here some place. Just ask, we are friendly people.
I have lived in the pothole-in-the-road district for 30 years and sure do wish we could change the name to the Smooth Move or something like that and have it stand the test of time.

and don't forget that smooth move was the advertising campaign for Exlaxx in the not too distant past....
i think that's part of the reference he's making. although i think all of his jokes may be entirely over my head.
