"Napkin Man" is not happy.
He likes to send letters to the commissioners and others to express his rather opinionated views.
Often his letters are on cut in half envelopes or napkins, thus the term "Napkin Man."
He has sent some doozies over the year. Check out these recent ones. Here, here, and here.
Now, apparently, he is going after speakers at our Public Forums.
This one, below, was recently sent to Public Forum regular Larry Downs Jr.
Who the heck is Napkin Man?
Napkin man is someone in the community who, from time to time over the years, has spread his unique thoughts on various county issues with my office by sending them in writing using snail mail. Always interesting and sometimes even humorous, I've published a number of these over the years.
Now, Napkin Man is forwarding his opinions (often written on re-purposed holiday cards or scrap pieces of envelopes or re-purposed junk mail) to all of the County Commissioners. He's "sharing the love" ---if you will--with all the offices--not just D1! Yay! Same opinions, bigger audience!
Yes, his words of sarcastic wit, complete with expletives and other choice language, really captures the readers who are actually able to decipher his borderline illegible scribbles to understand just what the heck he is trying to say.
I'm not sure Napkin Man has had a good life; in fact, if I had to guess, I'd bet (based upon the bitterness and anger that oozes from the tone of the notes he writes) that life has not gone the way he thought it should have or the way he had envisioned it would. And I'm sure he believes it is everyone else's fault most especially the Escambia County Commissioners. Hey, he's not alone in thinking everything is our fault. 😀 Take a number!
Anyhow, Napkin Man likes to share his every thought and whim with us, so I'll go ahead and "Share the Love" too--below. (edited, of course). You get extra credit if you can understand what it says!
.......and anyone who can successfully decipher Napkin Man's hieroglyphics gets a gold star!
