From The Three-Dot Lounge, it’s “Moans, Groans, Good Thoughts, and Rampant (yet surprisingly reliable) Rumors” from my favorite gathering place in the Valley.
…Thanksgiving is arguably the best holiday in this country.
… All citizens should get tags (or chips) for their pets. It’s easy and cheap at www.tagxpress.com and all those hard working volunteers at the Animal Rescue, plus the many other animal lovers in The Valley, will certainly appreciate it.
… All attendees at Pot Lucks in The Valley must bring a dish or alcohol large enough to feed or quench the thirst of at least eight guests. A stick of celery, day-old bread, two beers will no longer suffice.
... No more ego-vineyards are allowed. Particularly if it is to be owned by: 1) a wine-guzzling know-all who assumes they can make wine just because he/she has made their millions in an entirely different field of expertise; 2) someone living in some far flung location and has never lived here; and 3) people who wouldn’t know a wild hog if it bit them in the ass or a Turkey Vulture if it defecated on their head.
… Anyone, anywhere in public, starting a sentence with “You should” will be fined $1 on the spot. All monies going towards the Save the Turkey Vulture Fund.
I’m outta here. I’ve got see a man about a sheep. So, be careful out there; if you break a leg don’t come running to me; stay out of the ditches; be wary of strangers with more dogs than teeth; show love to your pets, they will be faithful and true to you to the last beat of their hearts; think good thoughts; ‘Keep the Faith’; try to not let life get in the way of living; may your god go with you, and may your dog go with you too. A final request, “Let us prey.” Humbly yours, Turkey Vulture. Contact me through the Letters Page or at turkeyvulture9@gmail.com.
PS. Hi, George: hope you and Sheila are well. Is that ‘lafter’ I hear, Carroll? Bobwhite Quail: keep up the knitting!
