Today it was the annual Running of the Goats downtown, which is a big to do that the Chamber of Commerce puts on to kick off summer even tho the 4th of july is already a good 2 wks into the season. Furthermore, the days are already getting shorter and soon there will be less and less lite and then it will be fall and winter will be here. I hate the 4th of July.
But anyway, the running of the goats is quite a spectacle and any and everyone w/ a goat comes to town and they and their goats get to walk up main street and everyone cheers for them. I and Mr. Slippy were there and i can vouch that mr slippy had himself a good time and i have the pictures to prove it but they are in mr. slippys gullet b/c mr slippy ate the camera. This is the 4th camera he has eaten and if i didnt have such good luck finding the things to begin w/ i think i wld be awful sore w/ mr. slippy.
so i do and i dont have pictures. but that aside, the end of the Running of the Goats is on the lawn in front of the town hall, and there are tents set up where you can buy cheese and lemonade and ice cream, and i and dody set up a card table w/ some homemade popsicles we made w/ the sole intention of luring Georgie Femms boys over, which i have got to say worked like a clock! We gave away some popsicles to some of the skateboard kids and told them to go find Georgie Femms boys and tell them to come get a popsicle and they did and we gave them the popsicles which looked just like everyone elses popsicles only theirs had worms frozen in the middle. When they got to the worms their friends all laughed at them and they were mighty sore but i have got to hand it to Georgie Femms boys: they knew this was payback for what they did and they took it like a man.
It was dody’s plan but i am taking all the credit for it.
And now i have to go tend to mr. slippy. he is making a real racket and i think he is trying to pass that camera.
