    Is it illegal to urinate in public in this no-government township?

    I take exception to that scrotum trinity on the top front of that bus. Public urination AND that, that, THINGY. There should be a limit to lameness. (Or is lameness unpatroled in this township, too.)

    “Paper townships”, in Ohio.

    “Townships can exist nominally in rump form but have no government. In about 1980, Wayne Township in Montgomery County was re-incorporated as the city of Huber Heights. However, a small portion of Wayne Township — east of State Route 4 and south of State Route 235 — was part of Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and could not be incorporated into the city of Huber Heights. Thus, that portion of Wayne Township, which is part of the Air Force Base, still nominally exists, but it has no local government.”

    Paper townships in rump form?…

    Say, it’s only a paper moon

    Sailing over a cardboard sea

    But it wouldn’t be make-believe

    If you believed in me

    .

    P.S. Maybe I wasn’t so silly, seeing Ohio in yesterday’s image?

    So many layers!

    So we are to believe that Huber Heights, the Rump of America, routinely emits offensive air forces? I’m good with that.

    The common abbreviation for “Township” is “Twp.”

    Which is the Welsh word for “crazy.”

    You shouldn’t put so much faith in that truck nor traffic light at the intersection if you happen to be within the neighbourhood neighborhood scene of Maximum Overdrive township TWP..

    Grace puts in a guest appearance at Dark Side of the Horse.

    I live in an unincorporated town. No mayor, no city taxes.

    Today’s Dark Side of the Horse features Grace-the-Face (well, half of her anyway) and Teresa’s signature.

    Townships are just one of the extraordinary number of layers of governance here in Chicagoland, where my non-Froglandian residence is. Townships can do some good (daddy was involved in local affairs of state and dealt with township folks). But, taken on the whole, they are just another way of draining the money from people who earn it and into the pockets of politicians, who are the New Aristocracy, complete with family dynasties. It’s an art, you know….
