THE CISCO KID

If you're one of those who thinks of The Lone Ranger any time you hear "The William Tell Overture," then you remember when cowboy shows were a big deal on TV. Some western heroes were played by famous cowboys who also sang and played guitar, such as Roy Rogers & his wife Dale Evans and, Gene Autry.... Sign in to see full entry.

P.S. MOW, AFTER ALL

Cornelius came by an hour after my post on Blogit. I asked if he's ok, he said yes. He got my hard mowed and trimmed in good time and went on his merry way. I think the rumor about his eviction is spun of high quality BS. Sign in to see full entry.

NO MOW

My yard guy didn't show up this week. I'd been worried that he would show up just at the same time my son's pickup was parked in the driveway. Sonny was unloading stuff from his house into my garage for temporary storage after his house sold. He drops in from time to time to sort through his... Sign in to see full entry.

Forget You!

Billy Bratt, so aptly named for starting trouble he is famed, he teases girls and pulls their hair. Teacher times him out in a corner chair. At lunch hour out on the playground he throws his nasty weight around and threatens younger girls and boys. He does nothing but annoy. The playground lady... Sign in to see full entry.

SUMMER BREAK

I know the kids from St. B's - across the old brick street from my front porch - are enjoying the first week of summer break. There was the annual festival on Memorial Day weekend, carnival rides, games, food. Now their families may be headed to theme parks or on scenic camping trips or.... who...

Top o' The Heap

Teddy Truebear lived in a toybox which he shared with alphabet blocks, a box that held a small red ball and a handful of jacks, a half-dozen coloring books and a giant box of 64 crayons. There was also a small bucket and shovel for digging sand at the beach, a plastic wiffle-ball and bat, and a baby... Sign in to see full entry.

Clown Show Continues

As Rhett Butler said to Scarlett at the end of "Gone with the Wind," Frankly, my dear, I don't give a damn. Guilty? Not Guilty? Sleeping at the witness table? Insulting the judge and prosecutors, inviting a gag order (to be ignored) denial of plain facts in evidence. Nope. Not interested in another... Sign in to see full entry.

Tongue Twister from Way Back When

How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood? A woodchuck would chuck all the wood that a woodchuck could chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood. Sign in to see full entry.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

1) If you want to take down a pyramid, start at the top. 2) If your children still play pranks on you when you're 80-something, you are blessed. Sign in to see full entry.

THE GINGERBREAD MAN

Two little kids were lost in the woods. They wandered off from their family while Mom and Dad were setting up the picnic table for an early supper. They were searching for a playground: swings, monkey bars to climb, a slide. They followed a fork in the trail, and in no time at all they were lost.... Sign in to see full entry.
