Howdy
y'all!!! Up and down, up & down, up and down - no... I'm not talking about sex... gas prices! You must be
hanging around with Shantel!!! Anyway I saw a station with $3.55- they'll be swamped with customers. Lately the prices seem
to be going down... several reasons for it besides speculators. Anyway, to quote Rodney King, "Can't we all just get
along??" In our two newspapers (P&C and Current) it's been reported that the parking lot wars are heating up... just
in time for summer. Heat - get it??? And the folks on the hoity-toity West side are still up in arms over a boat parked in
the front yard and an assortment of yard art. I'll be taking a spin over that way just to see what all the bruhaha is all
about. I think when folks visit Folly and think they love what they see and decide to move here, then they try to make it
like where they came from. It's Folly people. That's no pun either... Well, hopefully, the folks rankled by these issues
will settle down and fall into true island living. Live and let live I say. In case you are one of our steadfast islanders
who don't venture farther past the bridge, the bridge work is commencing, so plan on delays or come up with a good excuse
when you come to work late. The dog ate my homework is not an excuse. Anyways... Spoleto is upon us once

On the first day of the school term the shop teacher was surprised to see a rather proper-looking young lady sitting
in the front row of his classroom. Her name was Emily and she was the only girl to sign up for the woodwork class. The bemused
teacher asked her if she was sure she was in the right class. Emily assured him that she was.
The teacher, still somewhat
puzzled, added, "This course may be a bit out of your league. Do you have any experience at all working with tools?"
"What exactly do you mean?" Emily asked.
"Well, for example, do you know the difference between a nail,
a screw and a bolt?" the teacher expounded.
After pondering for a moment, Emily admitted, "I can't really say,
since I've never been 'bolted'."
