-adopted from blogspot-
I haven’t contributed to the blogosphere lately which is a terrible shame since I’ve noticed the net is lacking for amateur authors. Hey, there’s your real AA. “My name is Curtis and I have a writing problem.” Don’t ask why I settled on Curtis as my fictional scribe. Since this edition is obviously a stream of consciousness I’ll just throw out some stuff that I’ve noticed, read or otherwise lamented lately.
-While waiting in line with 12 other people at the post office the man in front of me declared, not so quietly, ” They could save money and only build these things with one counter since there’s never more than one person working. That’s the thing about having a monopoly!” All of us chuckled in agreement. Shortly after, 2 more lines opened. Not sure if his correct yet not so subtle method worked but , well, yea it worked. I did notice that the stack of letters he was mailing had Pierpont Baptist Church as the return address. Moral of story; Southern Baptist , while occasionally rude get things done.
- While I didn’t watch this I noticed that the latest “Bachelorette“ had 3 guys from Charleston. Apparently they were kind of jerks. This makes 6 Charleston residents who have appeared on the Bachelor/Bachelorette series. None of whom have made it very far. I think ABC will do well to learn one very important fact; cast your cameras westward and find the true home of beautiful, well-healed prospects… Reevesville! Incidentally, This was funny. To me at least
- We are currently testing a new dog. That sounds like something Dr. Evil would be involved with but actually we’re keeping a dog to see if we want to adopt permanently. A friend can’t keep her anymore so we’re trying to help out as well as give Chloe a friend (the fan mail is more than one dog can handle) This is a larger , 1 year old boxer mix. Meaning, high energy, don’t know how big and strong I am, dog. So far it’s been rough. I very much appreciate Chloe’s calm demeanor and wise ways.
- Art imitating life and such: Not that this blog is art by any means, or life for that matter. But while catching up on the political scene I noticed a crossroad of humor. Previous posts have focused on a trip to D.C. with the help of Congressman Henry Brown and the man, the hero, Hank Hill. Well, it turns out that Congresman Brown is being oppossed in the upcoming election by someone who is currently in….. the Propane business! I only take partial credit for this phenomena.
- Sadly, I just learned that Earl Hagen has passed away. Yea, I didn’t know either. But he is the “whistle” and author behind “Gone Fishin’ the theme to the Andy Griffith Show.
The soundtrack for a generation.
