AUSTIN FREENET

The rumors
Are terrible and cruel
But, honey most of them are true
'Cause, baby, I could build a castle
Out of all the bricks they threw at me

Ms. van Eeden will no longer be working in the government, effective immediately.

In other news, a special election is scheduled for 4/1/20 in order to choose Texas Members of Congress. We will discuss this in our next series of meetings.

Yours,
Mayor Nina Clarke
Austin, Texas

Just heard one of the higher-ups mentioning the Denver doctors are arriving in a couple of hours, like yesterday's email said. I have my hands full with orphanage stuff right now but I was curious if anyone was gonna be helping with their research while they're here? I'm gonna donate blood though, because why not?

Maizie asked about the fostering process when I dropped them off at school today. Somehow I'm not sure she's getting the message that it's not an option yet. Might want to talk to her about that.

Add this to the list of screw ups the flower shop made. Pretty sure I received someone else’s candies and a message about it being the twenty-something version of giving out valentines in school. Reason I know it wasn’t meant for me was because I haven’t joined the twenty-something club yet. So yeah, if they were candies you sent I’d love to get them back into your hands so you can deliver them to their rightful owner.

You can chalk up another mistake for the flower shop. It appears as if I received someone else’s bouquet of roses and with a message about more to come tonight. If these are flowers you sent please let me know so I can return them to you or to their proper owner.

Y'all didn't send flowers as a joke, right? Like some Santa competition call back? I mean, I know I'm real good looking, and all but...

I mean, we all make mistakes but this is a little embarrassing for the new flower shop, isn't it?! Not that I'm not super amused by everything!!! I mean, Max obviously got me something and it went to someone else, and he didn't forget

I think I received the gift you put together for Bunny. Are you around the Capitol today so you can pick it up and take it home to her?

I was delivered a flower clearly meant for someone else. If anyone tried to send a pink orchid to someone else, please let me know. i would like to get it to the rightful owner.

Anyone care to explain to me how it is a arsonist hasn’t been caught yet? I get I’m new to Austin, but don’t we have a fire department and police department who should be all over this? And why are they only happening in one district?

No thanks to whoever keeps doing this.
