In a typically Alaskan act of civil disobedience and much to the relief of freedom lovers everywhere,a 25 foot snowzilla "appeared" in the guys front lawn yesterday,Tuesday morning.The guy who got the cease and desist claimed he had no knowledge of how it got there and deemed it a "Christmas Miracle".the letters to the editor section of our paper has almost no other subject than Bah Humbug to city officials over this.After all,we live in a place with 6 months of winter and this is somewhat fun for people.(The reality of the matter is the guy runs an illegal junkyard out of his front freakin' lawn in the summer and is locked on an ongoing legal battle with the city over THAT,and they are therefore sticking it to him anyway they can,even over an oversized snowman.)The same morning the 25 ft snowzilla Christmas miracle appeared, a smaller one was put on front of city hall holding a protest sign saying "Snowmen of the World Unite!!" The city said they wouldn't press the issue until after the holidays.
