    OMG.It is the Bird Hat Society of Ballard Street. They rival the Red Hats in membership. They raise birds to wear cutsey hats. They meet infrequently. The birds keep flying off with the hats.When the Swallows return to Capistrano……

    Hey…. you’re getting it, Bev!

    Great work!

    BTW the comment box is about 360 pixels wide.

    Anything over that used to get cut off, and now it doesn’t….. but it still looks too big.

    Anyhow, I think the Veteran is right….and once the birds escape their Bird Hat Society owners…why, they flock together, of course.

    I wanted to go to the Tiki for a nightcap…. but I’m awfully tired.

    Oh …. I guess I need to at least go check on whether the night shift is all there….well, not “all there”…not on Ballard Street….but all present and accounted for.

    The Monkey is counting on me.

    So if anybody wants to join me for a quick little dram of something….I’ll be in my usual spot….Then as soon as I have a word with Fenton and the bodyguards, it’ll be time for dreamland.

    It’ll be so nice to be back at my salon, even if I do have things to do all day tomorrow.

    Where’s that Ballard St. cat to deal with this situation? I would invite the one on the far left inside – Stewart and the Mrs. could use a party.

    To perkycat.He is Number Six.And that is the map layout to “The Prisoner”.I saw that program too.Stebel.If I see her I can get the hat returned. She may have to remain for questioning.Drinks, quiet conversations, discussions about my itchings, (sorry meant etchings). (Those painted on eyebrows just kill me. I laugh every time I look. Its as funny as nipple rings on Juggernaut.)

    What can I say. Sounds like a sneeze to meESHEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Doo rags are old stuff but never used them in Nam. I had the metal pot or boonie hat. Tried the rag but it kept coming off at odd times. The hat had a strap and I didn’t like rain running into my eyes.

Deemed insensitive to the culture.Political Correction PoliceNow its all skateboarding, auto cross really hip drink now. Far from the hillbilly days.

    And I do get the “Mountain Dew” Granddad called the “Shine”Tried a cap (bottle) once after pestering him about it. Woke up looking at the sky. He said I shot it down, eyes rolled back, and over I went. I was 6. He thought it was funny. Never bothered him about it again. Used it one time for paint thinner worked great. He was mad but it did remove the paint. I learned the stuff in the clear mason jar was not for construction work. Unless you wanted to do construction work then take a shot and get busy.

    Cuddles wold let me put hats on her just long enough to snap a photo so I have some of her in mini cowboy hat and even a Diamond Backs’ hat (was on a keyring). I saved it from the parade with a few shreds of colored confetti back when they won the World Series. Her regular costume was just her perfect white feathers (now permanently erect in her taxidermy).
