Return of the "Napkin Man": Same Opinions, Bigger Audience

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!

Napkin man is right. You don't work, you don't eat basically.

Parents are responsible for their own kids.

Non profits keep popping up to get taxpayer money to pay themselves to be in line middlemen for the handouts.

Meanwhile the country goes down the toilet, waiting for hand outs and to be told what to do and to be rescued instead of taking responsibility for themselves.

The electorate is actually wanting that and voting for that. They think socialism might somehow work here. It never does.


Just a recent thing in the state .. people were told to manandory evacuate but some would just ignore the fact a 12 foot storm surge is coming and now need to be rescued and hope the government replaces all their crap because they were stupid and built on a barrier island..ruined the coastline and so on. Now insurance will go up to bail dumb asses out taking resources from hardworking tax paying interior dwelling "7rednecks MAGA Republicans."

This elder writing on the napkin is passing on wisdom.

Frame it

They don't even teach. Cursive writing anymore because education keeps dumbing it down for the lowest denominator.

Survival of the fittest and competition is what the country was built on.

Here is some insight in what building on a barrier island does to us all. https://theconservativetreehouse.com/

Pretty dumb to allow building on places like this.
