Frog Applause by Teresa Burritt for October 23, 2016

We had somebody run down by a car in a supermarket parking lot yesterday, and what appeared to be shoplifting at a retailer.

We live in exciting times!

P.S. How that dog got into the clown costume I’ll never know.

Sounds like a lively town!

Another day in Paradise.

They say the heart of Rock ‘N’ Roll is still beating.

And from what I’ve seen, I believe ‘em.

Now the old boy may be barely breathing.

But the heart of Rock ’N’ Roll, the heart of Rock ‘N’ Roll is still beating.
