Goldilocks and the Phone Bill

Two humorous things from August 25th in Galena.

We talked with a couple from nearby Scales Mound, one of the highest elevations in the state. He said he works for AT&T which has been laying off lots of workers. His name is Bill and is known in the area as either Phone Bill or Telephone Bill. Quite a character. Enjoyed talking with him.

Another couple at the VFW had just motorcycled in from Indiana and weren't too happy with the rain that was beginning to fall.

After eating at the Log Cabin, we drove back to the motel. The beds had a total of six pillows on them. I had to chuckle listening to Liz sort through them. "This one's too hard." Then, "This one's too soft." Finally, she found one she liked and said, you guessed it, "This one's just right."

She had no idea what she was saying, but it sure struck me. Someone who shall go nameless, didn't think it was all that funny, but I sure did.

Perhaps we Have the Making of a New Story Here. Wonder What Publisher I Could Interest In It. --RoadDog
