April is..........

The 'Cruelest month' is almost over & it ain't been all that bad, at least not here in Ol Fair Oaks....
The signs are up for the coming street closures....happens every year, May 2 & 3 this year...Fair Oaks Fiesta time again....Only thing is, they've gone & changed the name...Now they're callin' it...wait for it.....'Fair Oaks Springfest'....kind'a sissy, ain't it?  Must be sum of them effete elitist newcomers...prob'ly the same bunch that keeps sending me all the mail from the 'Village Enhancement Committee'.....whatever that means...anyone that 'ud come up with a name like that would suck eggs.....dunno why sum people feel entitled to tell ever'one else how to live......
I have it on good report (my Darlin' Millyrose) that the Village Chickens have been reinforced by a couple of ducks & at least one turkey.Ahhhh, the feral fowl of Fair Oaks..what we really need is a good ol'fashioned barbeque...all them free-range birds...sighhhh!
Anyway, back to the Fiesta...all that traffic, people parking ever' whichaway, strollin' up & down, back & forth, here & there & nary a Pooka in sight.......
Millyrose, me & Rusty went to the Folsom Street Fair recently...what it wuz, wuz a couple block long garage (read junk) sale...seems to be a lot more of those recently....I think it's the economystupid thing....funny about all the so-called Democrats who say they want to raise taxes...they all seem to be in undocumented, undeclared cash biznesses.......being the honest Republican that I am, I've never been able to figger out one 'o those that worked for me......
I've had lots of people tell me how they sold the clutter they had laying around & made scads of cash....I think they're the same people that tell me how much they win at the Indian casinos & they never seem to lose....If I sold my clutter, I'd prob'ly lose money....'n then I'd have to buy more clutter.....on that proverbial other hand, if I wait until I die, my kids c'n sell my clutter on e-bay, take the money they make to an Indian casino & retire to Paradise.  I've been to Paradise but it was a long time ago.  I spec't it's grown from a small village & become a multi-cluster of mobile homes & strip malls....they're all made out of ticky-tacky & they all look just the same....rather have my old clutter.....
I told Millyrose that we c'd take care o' the clutter & clean house at the same time with a few strategically placed sticks of dynamite but she's heard that song so many times that she no longer responds to it....
It's a long, long time from May to December & I finally figgered out what Durante meant when he sang....."Did ja ever get the feeling dat'ja wanted to go but still ya had the feelin' that wanted to stay..."
