Hallway to Nowhere

Before he had been elected to Congress, Henry had studied some of the famous boondoggles hoping to educate himself and not make some of the same bad choices.  While on vacation in India, he saw the famous Hallway to Nowhere and wondered if this had been the inspiration for the famous Alaskan Bridge to Nowhere. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

High Fiber Diet

Just before his visit to India, George’s doctor warned him in no uncertain terms he needed to get off all the red meat and do a high fiber diet.  With no McDonald’s, KFC or Pizza Hut  in sight, it looked like the high fiber part was going to be a foregone conclusion. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Gun Control

Jasper (his friends called him Jaz) had been a lifelong hunter and target shooter and had quite a collection of firearms.  Like many collectors, a number of his weapons were military surplus, even though he was not in the military or even some local militia.  With all the talk of stricter gun regulations, he wondered if he was going to have problems getting ammo for some of his favorites . . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Safety Issues

When Hassan tried to get his truck re-licensed for the next year, he was told no, and in no uncertain terms. “Safety Issues” was all the inspector would say. . . . .  David, Sf.G.

Nice Yard

Ed and Candy had always prided themselves on having a nice, lush, green yard, and spared no expense to keep it that way.  They were beginning to wonder, though,  if perhaps they had over fertilized just a little bit this year. . . . .  David, Sf.G.
