The Palmville Globe Volume 1 Number 24
Man Finds Alternate Route
Joe McDonnell, 78 and residing in Palmville Twp, Minnesota was recently trapped in a large city by a parade. “We were on a cross country trip and had to get over a harbor to get from one state to the next,” McDonnell tells the press. “Our plan was to follow Main Street through the city to the high bridge, but this happened to be a national holiday and Main Street was blocked off for a parade. I followed a parallel street until we came to a dead end. Next I followed a driver who I thought was a local until I saw he had Canadian plates. Finally I pulled over and set the GPS for the alternate low bridge across the harbor. The low bridge was out of the way but at least it didn’t have a parade blocking access to it. It looked like it was going to be a great parade but we didn't stop to watch it because we had many miles to cover that day."
Man Assists With Money Return
Joe McDonnell, 78 and an aspirational doer of mitzvahs, recently assisted in the return of a wad of money to its rightful owner. "We took the kids to a pond where they found a newt which they put in the dog's water dish," McDonnell tells reporters. "People on the path around the pond stopped to look at the newt. One woman with a friend and a terrier stopped. I noticed she had a wad of money in her waistband. Later a man in a bathing suit, cap, and goggles carrying a safety buoy on a toggle string stopped a moment as though to swim, then continued down the walking path. Soon he was back, waving a wad of money. I pointed up the path, 'Two women with a terrier,' I told him. He hurried off. Later we met the two women. The one said she knew it was silly to put her money in her waistband, but when she went to put it away, it was gone. The cash was now safely in her purse. As we left the area we noticed the swimmer moving swiftly across the pond with his safety buoy bobbing along behind.”

I translate any praise heaped on my head into the tinkling of the keys of the piano about to fall in my path.

Hmmm, 'A man in a bathing suit ..." -- that stalled my thinking. It's been a billion years since I've read that or even thought of such a thing. Leave it to you to revive it, a man with a gazillion wise & witty thoughts burbling out of him any second of any day ... Looking for 'bathing suit' on-line, only came up with women in postage stamp-sized articles of clothing and not a man to be found. Hmmm, perhaps the man "bathing suit, cap, and goggles carrying a safety buoy on a toggle string stopped a moment as though to swim," was a specialized sort only found in that vicinity and my imagination (not lacking thereof, in my estimation) conjured up a transgender individual and [insert appropriate pronoun here] was whom you were describing; or perhaps an official only in his own mind set upon is duties as a beach walker in costume -- lacking a dog or monkey as one doesn't often observe people walking their cats, anywhere. Now that's a thought ... T'was a good chappy though as you describe. Thank you for that. Good morning.

ReplyDeleteOh my. Am I the only one here concerned about that newt? Seems that even Pixar marginalized this lowly amphibian. Google cancelled Pixar film, "Newt".
