PB..

Great to hear from you again..

T'was indead I that has the $$$Store pencil franchise in the Market..

and life is good..cleaned up $106.75 yesterday...

I don't know if it is the ripped farmer overalls....or the little dog I borrowed from the neighbour and put one of those cute scarfs around his scrawney pencil neck ...or the fake bloody bandage I have around my left ankel..but times are good in the beggin' business..

I have a tin cup for the pencils a wooden coke box turned on it's side with my laptop running on a scammed wireless signal and the coke box to use as an arm rest..and a foam pillow for my fat arse..

Concrete is cold this time of year..but my laptop is out of sight and I can see the screen when traffic is slack..make the odd trade if need be..

The missus and I have a great Thanksgiving dinner at the mission..

I had to get her half liquored up and in a daze in order to get her into the place..I had told her I was taking her out to dinner this year but I didn't tell her where..

When she realized where we were and just entering the hall she started to protest and put up such a racket that I had to throw a hammer lock and an arm drag on her to get her down and throw a sleeper on her...that was quite the scene..

I finally got her settled down and she was still mad but we got dinner choked down and as we were leaving ,I realized that she was trying to steal a pocket full of soup,so I made her put it back..

they wanted her to take the pledge,but as I was stone sober,I swore that I would bring her back once I had her fed and sobered up..

But I gotta get down the market..after the open I'll head down..

Like I said..$106.75 AND two half smoked cee-gar buts is a pretty good haul for sitting on my duff and looking sad..I could do that around here but the last time I did that the misses told me if I was looking for sympathy..look in the dictionary between "shit" and "syphillis"...I would find it there...

Words of wisdom for all of us...

have a great day..laugh..
