  1. Summit (t)

    Antimony loves this time of year. It's when his backyard is full of tall plants. It doesn't happen every year, but, when it does, Antimony climbs them all continuously day and night. Ants like that!

  3. Fellowship (t)

    Glóin the Dwarf finally found a place he could stay out of the limelight generated by that bastard, Tolkien, and further popularized by Peter Jackson's movies. What a pain in the butt. Everyone always asking, "Do you know Frodo? What's Gandalf really like? How hot was Smaug?"

    Somewhere in the City is an annual high stakes poker game. Invitation only. Not always the same players. Generally, City Departments with the least to gain are invited.

  6. Misconception (t)

    Well, Breeze was really surprised when he realized he had signed up for three years as chief bottle washer at a Zen temple instead of getting a free carwash. At that moment, Breeze decided maybe his investment in the language course, Rosetta Stoned, was a waste of money!

  8. Tales Passed Down (t)

    Rafferty didn't understand what the big deal was. The path was solid, mostly straight and pretty smooth. The elders told all the kids not to take the path. Those who did, never returned. Rafferty felt a little vibration and then blackness as the train passed. Another snail tale.

    Boris and Natasha sunk all their money into a multiple zip line business. According to surviving riders, it was an electrifying experience.

  15. Tanked

    The oldtimer bulls at the Bena Corral like to scare the youngsters by telling them if they don't give them their carrots, they will be sent to the slaughterhouse. The slaughterhouse was really a fertilizer plant that closed down in the 1940s, but, the old boys get a lot of carrots with the story.

  17. Thirds Blow

    Ricco was still recovering from the massive honey bee smothering that took place yesterday. The bees pretty much massaged every part of his body and his vision is a little blurry today.

  19. It Will Never Pass (t)

    At first, Naomi thought there was a fire on the horizon. But, it didn't smell like smoke. Then, Naomi realized what it was. The stench of politics!

  23. Last Butt

    I'm really surprised I don't see more rats running around downtown. Most of the glimpses are when they crawl out of a vent and grab a quick smoke.

  25. Wrong Side Of The Tracks (t)

    Bill was really lucky. He made it to the water tank. It took him about 33 hours, but, it was worth it. Unfortunately, the rest of Bill's group forgot how frequently trains pass over these tracks. Snails are pretty slow and don't understand what vibrations in the tracks mean.

  27. Tied To You (t)

    Sometimes, I don't pay attention. Okay, a lot of times I don't pay attention and it's probably getting worse the older I get. I always assumed railroad ties were wooden. Wood was all I ever noticed. I stand corrected. These suckers must weigh around 700 lbs. each.

  29. Wrong Story

    it was at this moment that Darth realized he wasn't dressed in his normal garb and that wasn't Obi-Wan. This was the beginning of a bad dream!

    I sure hope things go alright. We had Rudolph over for dinner last night and I think he had a little too much eggnog.

  31. Contained (t)

    These signs used to tear up the town when they were younger. They would stay lit up all night long, partying! You would expect them to mellow out a bit when they reached a certain age, but, it didn't happen. Eventually, they had to be contained for their own safety.

  32. Heartbreak (t)

    River Birch: "I'm telling you, Doc, it feels like my skin is peeling off and I itch all the time. I've tried changing soap, shampoo, diet! Nothing seems to help. What? Psoriasis? I haven't tried that yet. Is it over-the-counter?"

  33. The Gathering (t)

    Every year about this time, a new group of friends got together to take bets on who would be the last on the tree. Unfortunately, there was no joy in being last because there was nobody to share the moment with.

  34. What He Saw (t)

    An hour after ingesting wild mushrooms, Theodore began to doubt his choice. Perhaps the ones growing in the manure were not proper salad ingredients.

  35. Protected

    Rock piles on Rancheria Road in Kern County, California almost always have an Oak tree growing close by. Lizards need shade once in a while.

  36. Tanked

    Atticus Lambord was known for his mountain dew. It had a distinctive gas tank rust flavor. But, after the first sip, you couldn't really taste anything anyway, so, no one fussed about the odd flavor. One of his most popular batches was what he called '84.

    From the way back machine in 2003. Woody the cat looks for the highest point which happens to be on top of the old 1984 Chevy pickup. A good vantage point.

  38. Out Of Bounds (t)

    I used to play golf once a year. I haven't done that for a number of years now. I'd rather shoot photos than hit a little ball. However, I am still so athletic that even once a year was enough to keep me sharp. I could hit those rocks every time I played; whether I was aiming at them or not!

    I like electricity. Electricity powers my refrigerator and my computer. I can get something cold and I can get the internet. What more do you need?

  40. Forbidden Paths (t)

    Not everything is always open. However, usually, a good chain and truck will take care of the roadblock. Not that I'm condoning trespassing, just saying!

    The Rangers are looking for a pitcher and catcher. Preferably, someone who has connections for uniforms, baseball equipment and access to a ball field. Other than that, they are ready to play ball!

  42. Counting Cars (t)

    I've noticed there aren't as many railroad car loggers out and about as there used to be. It appears the railroad has trained birds to do the logging for them. The birds must have quite a memory because I don't see any of them writing down figures.
