This is where you can catch up on all the local man-gossip, find out when it will be safe to plant your flowers, and get an authoritative prediction on which college team will win the national championship!
Lester’s Winter of Discontent Lester, who works back on the loading dock, hasn’t had the best of winters. His girlfriend, Sabrina, broke up with him right after Christmas. Apparently, the customized bowling ball he got her didn’t say, “I love you” as much as Lester thought it would. And of all things, she came by […]
At the recommendation of Mrs. Polly Pigg, noted Watervalley socialite, the Farmer’s Co-op is now carrying Costoluto Genovese tomato plants. Polly discovered them a couple of years ago during a Golden Agers touring trip of Italy and told us we just had to start carrying them. Now, Miss Polly, she can talk your ear off. She doesn’t […]

This fellow came in around three-thirty PM on Tuesday and walked right up to the counter and was trying his darndest to talk with Junior. It went something like […]
