Sorry for the delay

To those of you who have been frantically refreshing the Razor in search of new material. I'm sorry. I took a day off from blogging to work on some other projects. A couple items before we get started.

I've added some links at the top of the page for you to enjoy. Please do not be alarmed that the Merch Store no longer appears on the homepage. Just click on "Adam's Razor Swag Shop" above and you'll have access to the complete line of Razor merchandise. You'll also notice the links entitled "New to The Razor? Click Here" and "Friends of the Razor". Even you long term Slicers might want to check those babies out.

EDIT: If you found it difficult to read the "New to the Razor" page, I think I've got it fixed. No idea why Blogger published some of the words in yellow. Sorry...

EAT MOR CHIKIN

In response to this News Article, I have a couple thoughts. It seems that Dothan City Commissioner Taylor Barbaree is concerned about the traffic congestion being caused on Ross Clark Circle by Chick-fil-a. Specifically, Commissioner Barbaree said, “I think the entrepreneur should hire off-duty police officers to direct traffic when it gets bad on the Circle.” As an alternative he proposed that "the city send a letter to the Alabama Department of Transportation to encourage them to make changes to the entrance."

First of all, if the City Commissioners had been paying attention, they would've no doubt been aware that Chick-fil-A announced their new "Spicy Chicken Sandwich" several weeks before it was made available in stores. This announcement was made as a courtesy to chicken consumers and city commissioner's nationwide so we could all be prepared for this fiery feast. If Mr. Barbaree thinks it's bad in Dothan, he should see the Atlanta branch. Customers are seen lining up outside the store, holding 32 ounce bottles of water, waiting for Chick-fil-A to change from breakfast to the lunch menu.

The fact that the City of Dothan squandered this lead-time should not be an indictment of the "entrepreneur" but of the commission itself. When a well respected establishment like Chick-Fil-A offers a new Chick-fil-A® Spicy Chicken Sandwich that is hand-breaded, seasoned with a fiery blend of several peppers, pressure-cooked in 100 percent refined peanut oil and served on a toasted buttered bun with dill pickle chips, what did you think was going to happen? Couple that with the fact that The Spicy Chicken Sandwich starts at $2.99 and is also offered in a “deluxe” version that includes lettuce, tomato and Pepper Jack cheese for $3.59 and you get a "recipe" for a traffic situation.

My advice for Mr. Barbaree? If you're that hungry, get there early like the rest of us. Beyond that, wait a couple months for the fervor to die down. In the meantime, I suggest that you guys focus on the important things like raising the sales tax again or resurfacing US HWY 231 S during the height of summer beach traffic.

On 2nd thought, maybe it's better if you focus on fast food.
