Officially summertime, sum-sum-summertime.

The solstice is upon us today and I celebrated this morning's sunrise, as I do every summer solstice, by sacrificing a virgin on the stone altar in my back yard, and making a wish.

I've been doing this for about 8 years now. Previously I had been just killing chickens and the occasional lamb (as they do in the islands, mon), but I thought going way back to Druidism might help increase sales, and and it worked, so I'm staying with virgins.

I mean, I have to do SOMETHING to get some sales going for the summer, because there are just no decent shows to do til August that are within 7 hours driving time. Potential buyers don't get to see all the great stuff I offer for sale except thru the internet. They don't know I have something new and fresh unless I work the phone and become Joe the telemarketer.

I guess I'll go do some more of that today.

By the way, as if the gators, snakes and spiders weren't bad enough here in south Florida, now we got 6 foot dinosaurs multiplying. Here's the link:

Happy Father's day tomorrow to those of you who were successful at that.

Until next time, as my cousin John likes to say, "Stay thirsty, my friend".

He would like us to think he's the most interesting man in the world.
