If The Phantom says it, it must be True! Right?

Imagine my surprise to find Kit in my own backyard!  At first, I wasn’t sure whether to call Jan Brewer or the Border Patrol or what.  But then, I figured our tourism industry, having taken a severe hit in the past 18 months, can really use a boost.  So…thanks, Ghost-Who-Enhances-Our-Economy!

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:
