Manana Stressing Out Again

(Colorado Small Towns — High and Higher — April 24, 2016)

Manana (Colorado) residents are likely to experience increased stress in 2016 according to postulated statistics arriving in our outbox by the minute. In the minute Colorado burgh, 34% of the town’s reasonable people say they are more likely to fly off the handle or in some cases overreact to daily tension and negative stimuli than in 2014.

A majority ay the town has become a pressure cooker while over 11% report having trouble with rural routines.

Those surveyed as part of a social reach out from Denver singled out summer traffic, dog waste, increased lawn responsibilities, high grocery prices and the gov’ment as the major sources of their befuddlement while another 17% admitted that the strain of baiting hooks, running to town for toilet paper and organizing camping gear could push them over the precipice at any given moment.

In response to this state of emergency someone’s gov’ment is building landing zone front porches on existing structures as Soul Recovery Quadrants. If this fails to remedy the crisis the authorities intend to put the entire town on medication….or was that mediation?
