Have you really turned to farming? That's better than young Marshall Muse Jr., who has been training all summer for a career as a professional bicycle rider. Hey Ken Quigley, can I borrow your bicycle for the big Cug Pack 100 Bicycle Rodeo Saturday, August 3 at 9:45 near the Rotary Hut? All [ need is a wagon to pull behind me, for my tail. How does that sound Dave Opdenhoff and Mike Jenkins? How about it cubs? I notice my sheriff has a new Hobie Cat. ls it to be the flagship of the new flotilla? (Especially since Admiral Archie Bonner reportedly sailed off to join the pirates). A pretty girl with curls tossed a note in my cage just now. Wait a minute and rll claw it open. Hmmm. It reads: "Hardy's patched hat hides Hardy's' patch." (I dunno?) I do know that ole Ace Donnie got himself a real tan in Florida (Word is that when a certain lady finds out, Donnie's hide's next in line). His personal counselor, Joey, is reportedly in line for a Livingston Parish Police Jury citation for his slefless assistance in reaming out an Albany area ditches. (That's volunteerism four-wheeler style, eh?). M.D. Stratton Kearns is a generous physician who is constantly giving away to his patients free samples and such. Sunday he got carried away. He gave away his nurse, the former "Miss" Becky. (Congratulations). Twelve-year-old Mike Bugg was cooking up such a storm on main street using some recipes sent by his grandmother that I thought they were going to rename Pretty Paulette's place the Chinese Country Cupboard (pass the soy sauce, and a fork, no sticks). Paul Pevey is helping out the Ponchatoula Lions Club by putting a used eyeglass collection station outside his popular care. Anyone wanting to help fellow humans see might check their drawers for old eyeglasses (If the Lions started a rumor that old unused .eyeglasses stored in dresser drawers are known to eat socks it might help) and pitch them into the buckets at Pauls Care, Bohnings, Central Progressive Bank, Ponchatoula Auction Company, the post office, Guaranty Bank, TG&Y, The Ponchatoula Times, and everywhere where people care. News Flash: my swamp cousins down Manchac way insist Teddy Kraft drank a Coke, nothing else, and left the fishing grounds to putter in his garden Monday. (Wanna bet Patsy's tinkering with his feed?) I understand Stanley Cowen had to brace all four sides of the Blue Room with stout timbers and had to tie down the roof like he had solid Information a Hurricane Patsy was heading straight for his structures - all this by way of preparing for the quarter century (I love to say it like that) reunion of the Class of 1960. And still the building looked like the bellows of an accordian Saturday night when the partying reached fever pitch (Imagine Eddie Layrisson, Valley Kraft, Herself, Carl Cleveland and, well you get the picture...). The wild, whacky, and sometimes wonderful PEB (Pan, Eddie and Bear) Club is sponsoring a Second Annual Bicycle Ride to Manchac, starting at my cage August 25. A five dollar entry fee gets you a free meal, a band (?) and the feeling of satisfaction that comes from knowing your money is going to the Tangipahoa Association of Retarded Citizens (I better hitch up my tail wagon for this one). Thanks to My President, Mrs. Jeanne Zaleske of the Chamber of Commerce for her kind comments concerning some observations made here last week about supporting our downtown merchants, especially during the highway construction. I told her 1 would remind everybody that the parking spaces next to the railroad tracks are nearer to shops in the Ponchatoula Mall than most modern mall parking lots are to their stores; so don't let the highway construction throw you, ok?
