It’s just been a lot of fun, having Johnny Malotte’s outrageous Frahnch accent to mess around with, and CC commentary on his wife, the “Purple Pocahontas,” and the creepy Navajo rug on the wall (I don’t think there’s ever been that much green used in all the Navajo rugs EVER made).  So this might not make sense, but, to quote Johnny, “Who cahres?”

It’s my birthday month! So I got a free ice cream cone at Baskin-Robbins (or three) AND a free milkshake at Chik-Fil-A! Life is Good, and Scoopy knows of what he speaks:

But with another investigation on the table, hasty abandonments fond farewells have to be made.  These things never work out well, particularly for some people:
