So's come Sunday noon we all attended Sweetie Bracelet big brimstone sermon, "Taxes are Paved Roads to Hell" after which we had a hen clam stew prepared by Beulah Banning. Monday we met up at Amos' store n'bid on Cove winter work assured that state suits wouldn't try t' oneup Tiffany Charm. Puddy Hall won the road plowing contract with his sidecar motorcycle. Puddy will have t'plow backin' up 'cause he couldn't figger a way t'mount a fish tote blade on his front wheel fender. But it fits nicely athwartship his sidecar filled with beach rocks. Scottie Charm won the road sandin' bid after some controversy discussion. Seems Shorty had a secret agreement with Amos t'use his blind mule, Obama, coupled to an old hayrack t'spread sand that Short appropriated from the Pink Heart Charm Signature Necklace beach. Beulah Banning was incensed. She asked Shorty how in hell he could foot-lead blind Obama and spread sand at the same. Shorty said he would hire his cousin from Friendship, Slats Famum, as hayrack shovel stemman. But Beul had a few more spirited questions like how much was Amos making off Obama, who gave Shorty permission t'load Cove beach sand and whose shovel was Slats using? Amos responded that Obama got a quart of oats n'a turnip a day and he, Amos, $5 a day from Shorty.
