Oh my gosh you are so dead on Dr Beret.You dont know how many shifts you have kept me awake and you did it with such finesse.I love getting to be so arbitrary.Dr Beret I like the mailbag even more than 'what's his name' ,you know, that entity called the 'hitchiker'.But no matter, I like hearing from both.

C'mon people wake up it's 2 am.We rolled up the streets a few minutes ago, watching over the beer tent which is already up,and trying to keep an eye on all the Carnies wandering aimlessly around town looking for pay phones that don't exist, and throwing up in peoples back yards. AAAAAH, the sights and smells of yet another B-TOWN tradition.WAKE UP!

The one night I actually went to bed early and I miss all the fun.

Oh Debbie I have a soft spot in my heart for carnies. Remember the VFW homecoming? I had a special carnie kid in my hip pocket for a couple of summers.
Of course he wasn't wandering or hurling.

Free rides.
Haven't had any of those since!

I offer Dr. Beret and Hitchhiker my portion of the buffet table.
including cake. Just for keeping Debbie awake and Bethalto safe.

Just when I thought I was understanding most of this I am now not so sure.

Dear Dr Beret,
If ignorance is bliss do I live in paradise?

dear helen,

dr beret feels uncomfortable speaking for hitchhiker, but he will answer the question directed at him.

dr. beret thinks that, you, helen, are paradise and dr beret does not say that to all of the girls. just some of them.

Dr Beret, I'll take that as a compliment but by the time you get out of prison you will be saying that to all the girls.

and while in prison, well, you finish the joke.

Hitchhiker,

Dr. Beret challenges you in Postcard 8.28 comment stream.

Love, Dr. Beret

Now Lois, why did you have to and say 'free rides' please don't make me comment in public,if you haven't had any free rides its your own fault. I sent you that form that outlines 'specifically' what is to be charged for each individual act, you charge them, your ride is Free, remember?

So, it's a face-off between Dr. Beret and Hitchiker at 7pm Friday night at the American Legion Beer Tent. This oughta be interesting.

face-off, show-up, show-down, downtown. relying on the kindness of strangers, it's always hard to plan but we'll give it a shot, or a bump and a beer or two.

H- Nothing stronger than a beer?

That face-off, show-down, downtown happening will probably occur at 7 or AFTER.

We can't pin a hitchhiker down like that. And that silly Dr. Beret, well, it might be hard to get him off the tilt-a-whirl.

no, we can't set 7 p.m. in stone for those two guys. They're free spirits.

oh and before anyone thinks that I'm hitchhiker, let me just say that I read Dr. Beret's comments to HH on the 8-28 postcard and it said 7 or later.

this after midnight reading is groovy.
I'm seeing all kinds of stuff.

re: kindess of strangers.
a beer is such a refreshing beverage, especially in the right situation. refusing a stronger offer may be interpreted as impolite and we can't have that. we also want to avoid too much tilting and wind up in the neighbors back yard.

OK. I'm going to say this once, well twice, and that's it.
Dr. Beret - You THE Man.
Hitchhiker - You THE Man.
I never believed you were two separate people even though I had to wait until nearly 11:30p before it was proven!
See you both tonight and thanks for the photo opp. I will wait until after tonight before posting your picture to continue the suspence.
