Yup, still here. I see it's been a while since the last exciting update, but....
Actually, we haz been busy. Gramma Tudi continues to improve, Doclee injured his back and spent most of last week in bed, but is fixed now, mostly.
Mrs. Doclee has been building cabinets and drawers for Mrs. Stumblebump's new digs. She is so happy I bought her that table saw. She wanted a dryer, but have you ever tried to rip saw anything with a dryer? Well it's pretty hard.
The Great Complainer pawned of on an unsuspecting Me, a tiny stripey orange kitty by the name of Oscar. He is small but ferocious. Both Buddy Cat and Lucy are learning to steer clear. He pretty much just hangs out with Dances with Hobos and walks on her keyboard. Speaking of which, DWH is getting a Real Job, with a paycheck and everything. She's going to be working in a new restaurant here in town. I don't know if this tiny hamlet will support a fancy Mediterranian restaurant, but the fact that they have a liquor permit (this is a dry county, like most counties in AR) should help, even if the local Baptist contingent doesn't.
They tried to stop it, but I guess the city attorney told them that there wasn't anything the city could do to prevent it. They are free to not patronize. I wouldn't be surprised to see picketing. Actually, since the bypass went in, downtown has been in slow decline, with local businesses at wit's end trying to get some commerce there. It's actually a charming area what with the old buildings and brick sidewalks. I'm glad someone decided to invest. If they do well, maybe others will follow suit. Since I'm in downtown, I will only be liable for public intoxication, rather than DWI. Good for me.
