June 12, 2001 - Msg 792: Evenin', gentlefolk. Y'all have any iced tea left? What is it about baseball that's so magic? I watched Huckleberry playing third tonite. The boy just STOPS the ball & throws a frozen rope to first. Third base is where line drives go to die when he's out there. Is it the laughter and excitement of the players? Is it the fact the only colors which matter are the uniforms? Could it be perhaps be the individual effort tied to a team? Maybe it's the perfect green of the field and the straight white markings of the baselines. The history, mayhap? I don't know. I know there have been two World Wars, numerous "conflicts" and a Depression........ baseball has been the constant..... Good to see all y'all..... Blessings, Jake

Hey to 776/797, and WELCOME TO MAYBERRY!!! I'm afraid the nick "Birdie Blush" is already bein' used by a feller here in virtual Mayberry. I don't recall whether he's dropped by the Porch just yet or not, but to be safe, I'd pick another nick if I's you. So you're female, huh? And you don't fish. Can you give us any other insights into your character? There's loads of female TAGS names that aren't being used yet. Let's see... There's Lucy Matthews, and Betty Ann, and Bunny Caldwell, and Charlotte (one of Opie's girlfriends), and Darlene Swanson, and Ellen Brown, and Ramona Wiley, and Pearly Mae DuBois, and Tyla Lee Vernon, just to name a few!

Well, I'd better git goin' now. I'll see ya.

You know how people prepare for the cold winters by taping up windows and all? Well, here at the Bushey cabin, we do things a little backwards. We tape up our windows in the summer! If we don't, I get ANTS in my kitchen! I had about 11 of em on the counter the other morning and then they got to be moving around a bit each day afterward. I can't stand ants in the kitchen! I only have to tape up the kitchen window with masking tape around the edges....

bad thing is if Gilly is cooking (he cooks everything on HIGH cuz he is too impatient to wait! LOL) then there is no way to let the smoke out!

That's why nobody could get by, y'see. ANYway... They got the car and truck moved off to the side, and the leftover load of whatever it was (still smokin' and smolderin') moved outta the way, and traffic is just now gettin' back to normal.

June 19, 2001 - Msg 878: Hey to Asa, prayers for you and your tests!!

Rafe! We had something like that here today too! Bad accident, closed down traffic for quite a while. I take back roads to work so I really only have to worry in the bad weather. Oh, and if cows get loose or something. Happy Birthday to your pappy!!

Jim Lindsay! Welcome!! Maybe after you get to know us, you'll play a song for us. I'd especially like to hear "Don't hit your Grandma with a great big stick". Thank you!

I got some good news. You wanna hear?

Whew hooo, they finally fixed our A/C at work. Now I can stop blubbering about it and cool off!

Watched some TAGS tonight for the first time in a LONG while. Watched Man in a Hurry and Fun Girls. I love my tapes even though sometimes the mouth moving don't match the sound...but oh well.

You folks have a nice evening and Mavis, Thanx for the soda!

I was watching the episode where Barney accidently
catches that escaped murderer convict when he is writing him a ticket for littering and when the crowd gathered there was a black woman standing right behind Barney.
I know ages ago we discussed the lack of black people in Mayberry.
Never had noticed that before. I'm getting ept.
Everyone have a nice day. Happy Birthday to your Dad, Rafe.
That wreck must have been horrific to see.
Glad you got some air conditioning are work Idelle.
Howdy to all.
