More Internet Facts

Saying for the Day-The Internet is a shallow and unreliable electronic repository of dirty pictures, inaccurate rumors, bad spelling and worse grammar, inhabited largely by people with no demonstrable social skills. ~Author Unknown

@@@@ News from Pigeon Falls-The little town in my basement where the trains still run, dragons fly, and life is back to normal.– Wednesday night the local kids go out for Trick or Treat. Marge Maki said last year she gave out candy to over one hundred kids. She didn’t think there were that many kids in Pigeon Falls. Some of them were fussy. They wanted to pick which candy she would give them. Nobody wanted apples. When Marge was a kid you took what they gave and said thank you. That was that. Today’s kids just aren’t the same. In addition to the loot they gather from the homes there is a big party at the school and they get prizes for the best costumes. They didn’t do that when Marge was a kid. Of course, now there are no outhouses to tip over like there used to be. Now that was good clean fun. Except for the year her brother fell in to one they had pushed over. Then again it is possible somebody gave him just a little push. He was a mess and he really smelled. He lost all his candy and her mother was so mad. They both ended up being grounded for a month. Those were the good old days.
Mayor Trumble said that kids should go around in groups and watch out for the big white rabbit which has been known to take candy from a child going by themselves. After all the big white rabbit is a demon and they come out on Halloween. There is also a good chance the dragon will be flying over, as well.
For the adults there is a big Halloween party at the Fly Inn in the hotel ballroom or to be more exact the hotel all purpose room. There will be plenty of beer and prizes for the best costumes. It’s a good job most people in Pigeon Falls can stumble home and don’t need to drive.

A nice day. We went to the Credit Union and opened a special account to transfer our Pay Pal money to. Then we worked in the basement. I continued to check G scale cars for sale and Betty used up the last of the plaster cloth on the mountain. Then I choose two cars which we brought up, measured, and placed on eBay for sale. Discovered two more of the listed cars had sold. That was good news. THe table in the basement is still full. Now I need a breathing treatment.
