Another Beauty Snippet
“What’s all that panting? Thirsty?”
Not in the least. And then extremely.
We parked by what looked like a glass-fronted store in a strip mall. Bernie read the sign. “’Frontier Gazette. News you can trust since 1901.’” He filled my portable water bowl and I lapped it all up, then he refilled it and I lapped it all up again, and after that I gave myself a real good shake, some water droplets flying from my mouth and making tiny rainbows in the air. There’s all kinds of beauty in life. Thatwas my thought as we entered what had to be the office of the Frontier Gazette, if I was following things right.

Friend: According to Wee, courtship requires transparency about all things including savings. So therefore… I have a savings of several Slim Jims. I keep them stockpiled to pay WATP for services rendered.

Rio: Well, I do enjoy the finer things in life. I also discovered early on that bail is very important in the unlikely event that blaming Belle Starr doesn’t work.
9:35 pm on September 23rd, 2020
Ole!…Do youse think we here can blame Bellie for our car troubles?…sniff!sniff!….Does she have any savings, say in cash??….guffle!wheeze!
9:54 pm on September 23rd, 2020
Rio: Blaming Bellie is my go-to. As far as her savings, she has none. She committed herself early on to getting by on her looks. So far, it’s worked for her.
More to Rio: …er…I do know a coupla guys that, er, are, er, flexible when it comes to procuring, er, wotnot.

Then I definitely feel I can “hold” it for quite a while…wheeze!

Rio: We can deliver the katapult we used to get Ole Doc on the big bed. Wee’ s favorite part was jumping on the counterweight. For some reason, Ole never made it on the big bed. We are still baffled.
