The Results are not yet Clear

     The results of the two year probe into the Tangerine Tyrant's wrong doings have shown NO COLLUSION! This by no means says the big dick is off the hook. It just means that, although it is quite obvious to anyone with half a bloody brain, the investigators could not find a direct link between Russia and the presidential campaign. Time will tell when the investigations being conducted by New York City DA into the Trump Organization are completed. Unlike the federal probes the Tangerine Tyrant has no control over these ones.

     Here in the Valley some crazed Whackadoo decided to torch some buildings. A hostel, a mini-mall and a bridge were hit all on the same night. The hostel is probably a write off, the bridge may be unusable and the mini-mall was undamaged. The good news is the most likely suspect was caught. I have not heard if the individual has been before a judge or if he has retained counsel. I believe that he is still in custody. A friend of ours was driving through the area of the hostel fire and saw a gas can in the middle of the road.

     A major project at the Wayward Inn has been completed. The fence between us an the Albertans has been repaired and replaced. And none too soon either as I was getting tired if finding landmines left in our yard by their chow hound. All that's left is for a bracing rod to be placed on one post and to put the fence decorations back where they belong.

     Some sad news. Kne of the Sages called to tell me that the grandson of a friend of ours has decided to take himself out of the BIG GAME. I have no clue as to why and realistically speaking no one but the deceased will ever know the true reason. What is true is the surviving family members are the victims. My heart goes out to them. The only silver lining is that he had signed his organ donor card and the medics were able to keep the body alive long enough for all the organs to be harvested.

     My Better Half had noticed that a local small golf course has been swallowed up by a larger one. Last year the smaller one had been up for sale but there were no takers. Yesterday she told me that there is a new sign proclaiming that the larger one is the new owner. I doubt if the new owners will want to operate two separate set of links and it will probably remove the course in favour of building a new gated community within its enclave. The larger course is fast approaching the size of a small town with much more property yet to develop.

     Arrangements have been made for Elric the Stalwart and his Lobster to attend to the Wayward Inn this weekend. The Onion will be instructing the Lobsters and Elric on how to make tamarind rice. Naturally, there will be a salad as well but I am going to doing some baby backs in the Flame Pit.

     I have decided to attempt to make my own chef's knife roll to take with me to the Helgeson Hilton in May. I'll have to go through my scrap material bin to see if I have any heavy cotton cloth. Wish me luck.

It's been a week.

     It has been a week since the Onion moved into the Wayward Inn. There has been some adjustments, obviously but by all accounts she is much happier in her new digs. Where we gained one, we lost another. Our foster cat, Yanni - aka Knuckles, Mittens, Tripper, Ivan - was finally adopted out. It was a shame really because of all the rental cats we had this one fit in the best and we we planning on keeping him.

     There is plenty of building going on in the Valley. The new pub next to the Church Street bakery is so big the bakery could be placed inside. The new apartment complex on a main street is an imposing four stories and is built right to the edge of the sidewalk. Those houses across the street will probably have to wait an extra half hour to see the sun rise.
Another Rabbit Warren is planned for the corner lot at a major intersection. There will be twenty-four units going in on a plot of land occupied by a single dwelling on upper Royston.

     My Lobster will be going on an extended trip with the Oma-nator this summer. That will leave the Loin Fruits and myself to fend for ourselves. As if that's an issue.

     The weather here in the Valley has been exceptional but we have had no rain.  Despite being warm the snow pack has not really started to recede which would fill all of the lakes. Especially the one we get our drinking water from where the water level is so low the fish are having a hard time finding a place to crap.

     We are still assisting our neighbour's daughter in emptying out the house for sale. There is only one piece of furniture left inside and we - my Better Half - have been selling off the stuff in the garage for cheap. Hopefully it will be gone soon.
