One Of These Days, He's Gonna Get Slapped

Farmer H has been wheeling and dealing like there's no tomorrow. I'm surprised there's not a tracker on him to administer a shock when he leaves the Mansion grounds. Of course he's selling his firearms, some of them to law enforcement officers from other counties! He's got a buyer interested in both 4-wheelers. He was planning to sell the Scout, which is like a poor man's Gator, a red, stripped down version. But I said The Pony might want to drive it down to the creek, or around the roads when he's home, and can't stand being around us anymore!

Anyhoo...Farmer H has been waiting for the local license office to open up again, because he needed to pay the tax and license fees for that new used trailer he got a couple weeks ago. Wednesday morning, he sent me a picture.


"Line at license office 20 minutes before opening."

That would have been a normal line, for the end of the month, if they were just spaced the regular way. Farmer H said that TWO girls were working inside, instead of the usual three.

"One of them all she did was stand at the door, and when someone left, she opened it for the next person to come in! She was way closer to them than she needed to be."

 "That's stupid! The one desk is right there across from the door! She could have worked like normal, and if somebody came in before they were allowed, all she had to do was say, ''Uh uh. I'm sorry, but you'll have to wait until somebody comes out.' All they needed was a sign on the outside of the door saying PLEASE DON'T COME IN UNTIL SOMEONE COMES OUT."

"Yeah, but I'm sure she was just going by what they told her to do. They probably have some special rules they have to go by, like making someone guard the door."

"I'm shocked they haven't painted distance lines on their sidewalk!"

 "Yeah. It's a trip. Me and another guy was talking about it."

Farmer H might want to be more careful about taking pictures of people. I think there's a lot of people simmering with frustration these days. Especially at the license office at the end of the month!

    Farmer H said, "It's a trip"?

    Hs cool factor just went up. Of course, it's been 50 years since that phrase was popular, but oh well...

    I don't suppose anybody minds so much as long as he doesn't photograph their faces. They look far enough apart to me, the closeness would only happen as one comes out and another heads in, so if both hold their breath and don't cough any germs they'll be fine. We hope.

    Sioux,
    Yes, Madam, he DID say "It's a trip." I suppose he's re-living his glory days.

    River,
    Hillmombans, in general, are not in a tizzy about the VIRUS. There are many people out and about, maybe 20% of them in masks. There have been 29 verified cases in our county of 46,000, and I think 443 people have been tested.

    They only test people with symptoms. So 414 people had colds or flu, and not the VIRUS. Out of so many people, chances are slim that we'll be in close random contact with somebody who has the VIRUS.
