Elizabeth stopped by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to check her mail. She was most pleased to find her stimulus check, state unemployment check, federal unemployment check and the prepaid debit card. “Wow!”, that’s more than a years teaching wages at the Montetorkie school. the Face of Everyman shuddered, yet opened the Lounge an hour early to accommodate returning guests and old employees. He had a keen eye for profit.

Alien

Security Analysts were unsure as to how to classify this recent arrival to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Could it be just a play of light thought the Face of Everyman or could it be something far more sinister. In any event it was nap time for the venerable sage and he would consider all the possibilities when he awakened.

Dangerous Daisy

Posted on by torkel2020
High winds and lush tropical growth created a disastrous combination that threatened the guests at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Corporate risk management had warned the Face of Everyman about the dangers of ignoring proper landscape management yet they provided no funds in the 2nd quarter budget. Thru voodoo economics the venerable sage was able pay outside contractors to remove the errant Daisy.

Jumbotron

Wallace was embarrassed to have his photo taken by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa security camera. He was not yet in full mating colors and was at that awkward stage both physically and emotionally. He beseeched the Face of Everyman to act on his behalf to have that image destroyed. Alas, it was out of the hands of the venerable sage. The photo went viral on the sports arena jumbotron.

Pond Swill

Sally was very fastidious. She shunned the waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa as tho it were pond swill in favor of the pristine waters of the Spring of Eternal Giving. the Face of Everyman was reluctant to reveal to her that a pump recirculated the water.

Bribe

LeRoy was never sure how big of a bribe was appropriate. A kernel seemed generous to him; after all, the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was some sort of back water guest retreat. the Face of Everyman always carefully weighed the value of the gift against the importance of the request. He smiled and suggested that perhaps a larger gift was in order. LeRoy shrugged in resignation. Another kernel was doable.

Trophy Tail

The Old Sarge had lost his tail in some long forgotten battle. He never participated in the Memorial Day parades sponsored by the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Veterans Post 209. the Face of Everyman was reluctant to ask questions when he served our hero his free drink; after all it wasn’t some kind of disability; it was just a raccoon tail. Probably it was on the radio antenna of some kid’s hot rod.

Fawns

Percy, the messenger wanted to be the first in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa to announce the arrival of the Fawns. Does with their frisky fawns had been observed leaving the deep cover of the vast forest. the Face of Everyman noted that their obedience training began almost immediately. . . . watch for dogs, wait for cars to pass, freeze in place if Mom does.

Baseball

Baseball gained new prominence during the lock down for Avian Flu. Seen above is “Shoe less” Robespierre sliding in to home plate at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Sports Arena. Less than ten players in each dugout and social distancing practices met all the requirements. the Face of Everyman kept score and dreamed of a road trip with the wining team.

Chaos

Posted on by torkel2020

Chaos was rampant in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Those on reduced rations were forced to forage.  Guests were unwilling to share the buffet.  The riotous behavior of the Raccoons had left the Face of Everyman askew.  The venerable sage reckoned that it would be up to the kindly ol’ pensioner to once more establish law and order in this fabled land. IMG_0083 (2)
