Hola Cicely,
Chris in the Morning on KBHR 57AM coming at you from the Borough of Arrowhead. It's a nippy 35 degrees out there this morning, but we're going to get up to a positively balmy sunny 55 later on. (thread)

It's #Debates2020 night here in Cicely! Yes, the candidates for mayor are squaring off for the 1st time & the town is buzzing with excitement. For those unfamiliar, mayoral elections have been a hotly contested event since Edna Hancock unseated Holling Vincoeur's long-held reign.
Yes, we have a mayoralty race, folks. To which I can only add, alea jacta est. 'The die is cast', the battle is joined. Hold on to your hats, Cicely. We're about to bear witness to that sacred rite...
...when each and every one of us become acolytes before the altar of the ballot box, our secular shrine.
Fellow Cicelians, my heart is pounding, dancing to the drum of a free people, a city on a hill, e pluribus unum.
I feel at one with Whitman, shepherd of the great unwashed:
"O democracy, near at hand to you
a throat is now inflating itself
and joyfully singing."
Due to COVID, we'll be streaming the debate online. For those with no wifi, park outside the Brick. The password is 'Miranda.'
Make sure to tune in, folks. The future starts tonight...
