Pithy Pasco County Reflections, Vol. I
Posted Aug 3, 2009 by Geoff Fox

The staff at Everyday People went on an extended vacation recently, and returned with one printable realization.
While other parts of the country boast their own attractions – Cedar Point in Ohio, Big Bone Lick State Park in Kentucky – and traditions – the easily skewered game of Cornhole around the South and Midwest, stopping one’s vehicle for no discernible reason on the interstate outside McDonough, Ga. – only one area of the country can claim Mark “Tiger” Edmonds as a full-time resident.
Recognizing and appreciating the quirks of Edmonds’ breezy “Easy Rider” appearance and personality (Greg Allman thought he had nobody left to run with anymore – because he never met Edmonds) is as simple as giving into temptation.
Harnessing that vibe in a Pasco-centric way is an entirely different proposition.
But our dedicated staff, to steal a line, endeavors to persevere.
Here, then, is the debut of “Pithy Pasco County Reflections,” written and read by Edmonds, biker, retired Saint Leo University English professor and recurring character in this space. These will continue on a basis as regular as the staff at Everyday People can handle, and as long as Edmonds can write them down and recite them.
