Spring Rituals took on many forms at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  This year the Face of Everyman recorded every movement, every nuance performed by guests.  His careful observances and methodology would form the basis of a paper to be read at a world conference in Stockholm this Fall.

Under the guise of Census Takers more and more exotics slipped thru the immigration barriers seeking the good life in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  the Face of Everyman turned a blind eye to this quiet invasion.  The venerable sage knew he would have to soon issue ration books to insure that food stocks went as far as possible.

Reginald needed Crowns to replace his adult teeth.  Most dentist now recommended hen’s teeth.  the Face of Everyman grew them in his secret lab far below the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. A simple swab of the mouth of a Rhode Island Red and dust of Zirconia was all that was needed to began the electrolytic process.  In two weeks the teeth are ready.  The venerable sage believed in charging market price.  Bit coins were accepted.  Everyone knows that hen’s teeth are very rare.

Wolfgang and Marco are seen savoring their newfound freedom.  Released for lack of evidence these two were looking for mates to help in perpetrating their crimes. The Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa provided them with maximum advantage: fill someone else’s nest with Cowbird eggs and move on.  No looking back; no messy feeding of young.  the Face of Everyman was pleased to tell them that the Casino was closed and social distancing was de rigueur.

Just in time to learn about social distancing old Butter-butt was back to his familiar haunts of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  the Face of Everyman looked forward to his delightful songs during Spring rituals.  Was there a hint of a Spanish accent?

The Food Bank at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa opened irregularly.  The Crows hired watchers and posted them to signal when food was being distributed.  Maurice and Molly were at the head of the line and got the lion’s share of some very stale hardtack.  the Face of Everyman knew he needed to find a more equitable means of distribution.

Raucous squawking preceded this questionable guest.  the face of Everyman quickly made sure this guy knew that the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa was a wildlife sanctuary.  “There is enough food for everybody.” was a subtle hint to Harley not to snatch up a young humming bird as a treat.  

the Face of Everyman liked to use his special powers to intertain himself on slow days at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  Seen above, he causes a guest to levitate.  Despite himself, he seldom found a use of this special power for the good of mankind.

It was opening day for the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Sports Dive Club.  Contests began with the Free Dive entrants.  Seen above two brave contestants check the depths for Great Whites.  the Face of Everyman applauded their temerity.  The huge sharks hadn’t been seen here since last spring.

Larry’s parents were in denial about his need for glasses.  Seen above, our myopic subject misjudges his step and crashes into the unfathomable depths of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa.  After a bit of flapping and crashing into the Face of Everyman Larry is able to regain his footing.  It took some minutes for him to shake off his embarrassment.
