Reminder: Three days left to use the free mule hoof buffing offer down at Bickum’s Hardware. Bring Your Mule to Work Day is Friday. A reader, Alan, commented that the Mayor’s wife might not be too happy about being included in the hoof deal. It’s hard for me to say what makes a woman happy, but I sez, “How happy can she be anyway? She’s married to Mayor Deighed Ringer and her first name is Belle.”
