Cash Flow
Eugene, while walking along the river to fish, couldn’t but help think that the river was much like his cash flow situation after 3 divorces and child support: highly liquid, but flowing entirely the wrong direction . . .
A Little Foggy
After a night of diligent partying, John found his brain a little foggy on where he had been and where he was going–not unlike the river that morning . . .
Day’s End
William (known by the media, and by whom he referred to as the stinking paparazzi, as Bayou Billy) was being called to Washington to testify before one House select committee and one Senate committee about proposed agricultural subsidies and migrant workers. As he watched the sun set over the bayou, he tried to fix in his mind how he would end the day when he was back home rather than how he would probably end the day in DC . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Once A Pun A Time
Chester, the local straw boss who thought that Damian was stalking his sister, challenged him with, “Wheat are you doing?”
Damian’s reply, “Barley making it,” gave Chester no comfort, as he thought, “There isn’t a grain of truth in anything that guy says. I hope he gets combined with the rest and sent to the mill, ground to flour, and made into Twinkies or Little Debbie Snack cakes”. . . . . David, Sf.G.
High Bidder
Bobby and Jeanie had been high bidders on eBay and while stretching their budget, it seemed to be a very good price for their own mountain, especially one that included a whole National Park They had paid through PayPal but for some reason the title deed seemed to very slow in coming, in fact, they hadn’t even seen the preliminary title insurance policy. They hoped there weren’t going to be any problems. . . . . . David, Sf.G.
Rising Steeply
John, a farmer, was pleased with the demand for more grain crops to feed the government mandated use of ethanol in gasoline, but was also troubled by the steep rise in cost for fuel and fertilizer. . . . . David, Sf.G.
