April Fool's Day is approaching and I've a challenge to issue to all OlyBloggers. Get inspired and write something amusing. You get extra points for making this something amusing local. Tell us about a thought you had while drinking coffee downtown. Describe an unusual lunch enjoyed at the mall. Write a comic rhapsody on your favorite local flora and fauna.

No cruel jokes or other abuse. Are we locals too wet to share laughter? Or can we "grow a sense of humor" as our own esteemed founder Rick encourages?

Anyone local who wants to answer this challenge on their blog other than here on OlyBlog, just let me know, msg me through OlyBlog. I'll try to keep track of who is writing what where and I'll weave things together on the big day itself.

This challenge starts now.

"April 1st: This is the day upon which we are reminded of what we are on the other three-hundred and sixty-four." Mark Twain
