HEY HOWDY HEY fellow neighbors!! Well I "Must" start out by respondin' to my geographically challenged neighbor regarding AMERICAN BASEBALL. Hey....two words fur ya! (APPLE PIE) ...= YANKEES / BABE RUTH "PS" CARDINALS / Bob Gibson, Lou Brock, "Roger Maris" (LEGENDARY ANCHOR -played for both great AMERICAN teams) Ozzie, Willie, "Jack CLark" (Nope. He may have also played for both teams, however he was more of a boat anchor) = State bird of MISSOURI / Last I knew this state is in AMERICA. HEY.....Get on board!!! NEIGHBOR Don't forget I was a BIG FAN of the now defunct, OZARK MOUNTAIN DUCKS. There........that's enuff.

Well neighbors....Ian and I participated in the Boy Scout PINEWOOD DERBY on sunday.....we did very well. We won't mention the fact that I slipped while using a 1 1/4" chisel and sliced the palm of my left hand wide open. BIG OUCH. Probably needed stitches, however, I'm very tired of paying my CO-PAYS....so I did a HOME JOB on it. If that does not work, I'm going to have the lovely and refined seamstress of the imfamous neighborhood corn pillows, Linda Wilson, fix me with the SINGER. And boy howdy can she sing. Reminds me of our State Bird, the CARDINAL, singing from the light poles in the Stadium where the Great American Baseball Team named after the bird Plays. ENUFF

Well...I am working my secondary retail job again tonight (WAL MARTS) as they say in our lil burg. HOWEVER, I'm about to get a real job this year ........ I think. I've applied to work for the City's Street department (Truck driving utility guy) / big cut in pay , but long on time off. I would have week nights and weekends off. THEN, me and fellow neighbor Wilson can start primin' the pumps in Springfield for the return of our East Coast Chapter President and Co- Founder of "RBGNC".

Well, be kind fellow Neighbors and Peace go with you. Till another time allows. Sooooo long.
