One nice thing in a small town you know all the crazies, and many of them first hand. The other day Lord Kadizzle was down at city hall talking about the upcoming election. It never occurred to Kadizzle how serious it could be if no one ran. The city planner explained to me the danger of no one running. Hazen has had an eccentric quasi crazy man that has been around for years. The fellow has ridden a bike very similar to Pee Wee Herman's for years. When the gas station closes at night he shows up to get the hot dogs they are going to throw out. Once as judge Kadizzle had the fellow in court for a zoning violation. The first thing he told Judge Kadizzle was that Judge Kadizzle had no authority in Hazen because he was not born here. Kadizzle told him he could not get a building permit for what he wanted and was not to build it. Mr. Crazy then told Judge Kadizzle he would go to Beulah, the town ten miles west and get a permit. Crazy did not grasp the concept you cannot get a building permit in Beulah to construct a building in Hazen.
Now back to the voting. The city planner explained to Kadizzle that for almost every position in the city Mr. Crazy gets three or four write in votes. If no one runs for Mayor, that almost automatically means it will be Mr. Crazy. So it is essential someone run for every office.
