Leave it to Potato Head Stephanie Fitzharris to sniff out a microphone or a reporter and make sure she gets on record blathering complete stupidity for all to see in the local news.
Fitzharris, who owns zero land on or near the controversial new rail line and who has only lived in town for less than two years, feels qualified to offer an opinion because apparently she made this shitty logo for the “Stop the Train!” Facebook page:
I’m no “artist” like Potato Head, but shouldn’t the bar across the circle go OVER the train to indicate we DON’T want it to happen? Like the Ghostbusters logo? So it looks like it’s STOPPING the train/ghost and holding it back??
Potato Head’s design almost looks like one of PROMOTING the train! It looks like it’s zooming powerfully into Burnet/Lampasas and running over everyone in its path, which quite frankly is what will probably happen. I sympathize with REAL property owners who will be ACTUALLY impacted (unlike Potato Head) but this smells like the kind of deal that was already done. Too many Big Money Interests have probably made backdoor deals. I hope I’m wrong but I doubt it.
Anyways, back to Potato Head’s hilariously ridiculous and unlikely scenario she’s “concerned about”:
“My concern primarily is water. The Kempner water line seems to follow 190. I’d like to see an overlay of that.”
So Potato Head would ‘like to see an overlay of that‘ like she’s a civil engineer and can decipher it all. BAHAHAHAHAHA. There were landowners with REAL gripes there at the meeting and Potato Head is busy blathering about a water line. She thinks that the engineers are too stupid to figure out how to get a railroad track over a water line that is probably buried about 4 or 5 feet deep – something that probably occurs in about 200,000 places all over the United States.
She continues with an EVEN MORE ridiculous scenario:
“My concern is safety. If there is a fire on this train or if it breaks down over the water supply and there is a leak what is the worst-case scenario and can they go over that water line.”
“My concern is safety” says the buffoon who injected an untested mRNA potion into her arm to “stop Covid” and injured herself. LOL. Yes, she is EXCELLENT at risk assessment, clearly.
I’d love it explained how a metal car full of rocks would catch on fire. That would be an impressive trick. Then again, she IS an expert on fires, remember?
To summarize: she is worried that this train will just happen to catch fire EXACTLY over that 3-foot spot where the water line is, break down and then a LEAK will simultaneously happen and nobody will know how to fix it and Potato Head will be unable to shower that evening. Is that about right? I have news for you – that water line seems to blow a huge leak somewhere about every 9 to 14 months, and it has zero to do with any trains passing over it.
I’d say the chances of her idiot son wandering onto the track and getting hit by that train are about a million times more likely than her ridiculous fire scenario she outlined in the newspaper. I mean, you may as well worry about a meteorite hitting the water line. You total moron.
Meanwhile, everyone else at the town meeting was worried about a massive train barreling noisily through their family ranches that have been there 150 years and destroying their entire world. LOL. Classic Potato Head: 100% clueless about the real world.
