While I’m on the subject, the Watauga County Commissioners are considering spending $361,750 on demolishing the old high school that has been vacant for two years, and is described as a “hotbed for vandalism and arson.” Bids to destroy the school ran as high as $1.15 million. If only I were qualified as a government contractor. I’d woman-drive through the school in exchange for the price of a new car and escalations to my insurance premiums – as soon as I recover from my last accident, that is.
