Survey Says

So far I have received only a dozen completed family survey/information forms. If you filled one out at the Five-Hundred but didn't have a chance to press it into my clammy paws, you could mail it to my attention at:

7200 Glenwood Ave
Golden Valley, MN 55427

Or if you didn't have a chance to complete the survey yet, you can get a copy of it here. Fill it out and mail it to me or send it via e-mail to:

rightwinger23@hotmail.com

Don't be left out in the cold. Let your voice be heard.

Going For A Steam

We all have heard the old saying that oil and water don't mix. On this year's Five Hundred we also learned--courtesy of Tom--that oil is not a good substitute for water either (or anti-freeze for that matter).




I predict that Tom will hear the end of this one by 2032, 2033 at the latest. The 2009 tour has only just ended. The mockery has only just begun.
