The Sixth Day of Christmas......

...dawned bright ‘n clear....frosty windscreen on the Matrix took a few minutes to clear but, as mem’ry serves, t’was a lot better than having to scrape the darn thing....People born ‘n raised in the Sac area may not even know what a windshield scraper is but I recall them well ‘n not all that fondly altho’ they did indeed serve a very real need ‘n worked a lot better than a credit card....
Anyways, the reason for the early morning jaunt was the trip to the bone-setter...The ‘Bird with a broken wing’ according to the X-ray ‘n Doctor Boris is 90% healed ‘n the soft cast is no longer needed....and while I still get t’be the Substitute Chief Cook ‘n Bottle-washer, I c’n see some light at the end of the tunnel....or sumthin’ like.....
After perusing the nooze, it appears that the recent conflagration that took down the S.M.Roberson building in South Shore was arson.....sad but somewhat predictable given the current state of the economy...seems that the South Shore of my youth is disappearing piecemeal like the little village of Beattyville...ah well, t’is said that the only constant in life is change...
So, it’s a beautiful, sunny day here on this sixth day of Christmas....the halfway point... six more days ‘til Olde Christmas ‘n we c’n pack away the tinsel ‘n glitter for another year....we’re close to another year so here’s hoping that the economic outlook will brighten for ev’ryone.....
