No sooner had the Face of Everyman hoisted the Small Craft Advisory pennant than the more opportunistic guests of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa swooped in for emergency rations. The forecast soon turned to a Gale Warning. The smallest guests would have trouble reaching the storm shelter. Force 9 winds would take down a few roosting sites. The venerable sage was glad that he’d signed up for FEMA storm insurance.

Brenton had been reluctant to add the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to his Fall itinerary. The food was bad and the service worse.

Mavis had booked into the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to have her hi-lites renewed. Unfortunately shipments of products used in such tonsorial treatments had been outlawed by the Bureau of Customs and Agriculture. the Face of Everyman was working to find a new all natural substitute. It may take months of experimental testing before he achieved a product that he would label with his name and likeliness.

Cheeky was desperate. He had learned that the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program had been left out of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa annual budget. He begged the Face of Everyman to reinstate it. As simple as an ear mark perhaps. Winter weather at this remote location on the the Pacific Flyway was forecasted to be bleak.

Some inexorable force held Rocky’s paw in a vise like grip. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was home to many inexplicable occurrences. the Face of Everyman wasn’t about to release this bandit until the press and TV crews showed up. Besides, guests needed to take selfies and call out this bandit for what he was on social platforms.

She tried to memorize: You take your right foot out . . . What exactly was the hokey pokey all about? Even the venerable sage couldn’t give a clear answer.
