I Couldn't Make This Up...

Photo taken from my porch, 10 minutes ago, as the torrential rains swept through our little village...


On the right, the AWESOME Mr. Chambers - the man who removed The Tree - heading back to his tractor dealership on a forktruck. On the left - the town...er...inebriated man, Mr. Wilde, who drives around all day long on his John Deere lawn mower. In the evenings, he hangs out on a bench and yells at me (as I walk by) that he'll cut my hair for me. For free, even.

As depressed as I am that Gilmore Girls is no longer, I have to admit that I don't need Stars Hollow when I've got characters such as these. I love my village - freaks and all!

Dude! A free haircut! By a DRUNK! How can you pass that up!? Be sure to put me on his schedule for October... it can't be any worse than doing it myself. :-)

My maternal grandfather was the town drunk. His license was revoked way back when you had to have been DUI like 37 times in a row before they'd do anything about it. So he drove his lawnmower. To the bar. Sometimes back, sometimes not so much.

Oh, and I'd totally give the drunk five bucks to cut Lorena's hair!

Glad to know I'm not the only one upset that Gilmore Girls is over. Of course, I might be the only guy who is....Well, the only _straight_ guy that is...
