Never mind the groundhog. We need a report from the official possum! Did he or did he not see his shadow and is winter over? Or was that just the shadow of an oncoming truck?

I heard he saw a shadow, but it was coming from a large man who was following him with pursed lips....possum ran for the hills with paws covering his bum.....

Catspaw is the possum expert. We must ask him if the possum saw his shadow.

SPECIAL POSSUM REPORT

Cleigh has been quite involved in watching the sailing races in New Zealand and has been up late every night. He sits by ny side as we "watch" our computer 3-D live program and then watches the ESPN replay. I guess I'll have to take him sailing in the Spring...BUT.......

I had to wake the poor little guy and get him to go out and check on his shadow. Sorrowfully he saw it, but what was worse was that when he went out he encountered Cletus writing his name in the snow....in, uh...yellow..........Anyway, that scared the bejesus out of Cleigh and he's been hiding the rest of the day. I don't know about shadows and possums, but you can all blame the six more weeks of winter on Cletus.

Ya' know, its bad enough having these yokels hangin' around all the time, but since it snowed, the whole damn neighborhood is covered in "snow writing." I don't suppose the neighbors are too happy with it, but at least the boys didn't write anything obscene. Really, you oughta' see it.........Everyone has their address in yellow between the house and the street, very handy for the UPS guys.

The downside to all of this happened last week when Cletus backed up against a light pole while practicing his 5's in a little parking lot. This wouldn't have presented a problem normally, but he was wearing sweat pants instead of jeans and had them pulled down so as not to crimp his penmanship. Evidentally, there was enough moisture on the pole or his rear end to create a problem and the Emergency Squad was called to remove his ass from the frozen steel pole. Before they arrived, Paw and the Reg boys came up with a different idea. Paw dropped trou and flared off a monstrous pinto bean flamer that freed Cletus' ass but set fire to his sweat pants. The Squad guys arrived to the site of a half naked, half wit dancing towards them...flaming sweats around his ankles and clutching his ass.

Does anybody want these guys to come for a visit? If you have snow..............

I previously described Cletus as peerless in these pages.

Unfortunately, he got hold of the wrong end of the pole and thought I was accusing him of bein' pee'er less.

I'm glad this matter is finally laid to rest, with independant witnesses!
