Edith was relentless. She harped all morning about how they had missed the Free Continental Breakfast at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. It seems that Mullard had failed to set the clock correctly for the new time. Hopefully in November he’d get it right. the Face of Everyman offered to enroll them in his “Rise an’ Shine” wake up service.
Doppelganger
Ernie had never heard the word doppelganger. But whoever that fuzzy looking guy next to him was, sure as shooten’ looked exactly like him. Apparitions are common in the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman tried to explain the mystery of such occurrences. Ernie just wanted him gone.
Tell Tail
Silent alarms were triggered. Initial analysis of the intruder determined it was a Cat from outside the safe zone perimeter of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. Triangulation and samples of airborne DNA determined that it must be Panther hiding behind the Cabana Huts with only her tail visible. the Face of Everyman suggested that a high level of readiness be maintained till the predatory feline left the vast estate.
Recruits
The Breakfast Kit posted a few flyers around the statuary and memorials of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa; hopefully to encourage lonely pigeons to try out for membership in their group. Flyers were effusive; bountiful food and plenty of cover from raptors, friendly rodents. Two new pigeons, seen above, are trying out for a newly created vacancy. the Face of Everyman remained mute as he is often wont to do.
Barnstorming
Spring like weather brought the return to the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa of daredevil flyers known as Barnstormers. This fearless aeronaut is probably here to join the famous Bergdorf Flying Circus. the Face of Everyman gave a forecast of good weekend weather. The nearby meadow would be busy with airplane rides, concessions, and of course “E”s signature brand Bulgarian Hot Dogs with Sauerkraut.
Scofflaw
the Face of Everyman called upon one of his scouts from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Irregulars to keep a sharp eye on a notorious scofflaw posing as a guest. Robespierre was selling knock off bird bands; claiming that they had been worn on the legs of celebrity birds. Business was brisk until the U.S. Customs agents arrived. “R” quietly disappeared into the lush foliage of the vast estate.
New Head Master
Father Robin returned as the new Head Master of the Montetorkie School at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. While he was confident in his new role, he nonetheless stopped to pay his respects to the venerable sage the Face of Everyman and ask about the student body’s feelings on such issues as Gun Control and Student Walkouts.
Aqua Olympics
Percy was going to try out for the Summer Aqua Olympics to be held at the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. the Face of Everyman quickly stopped him from attempting a backward somersault into a half inch of water and suggested he go to the deep end. Seeing the dangers involved in amateur athletics Percy took up Quoits and became district champion.
Mortality Census
Periodically the Face of Everyman took a census count of bands of Simple Pigeons. Shown above is The Breakfast Kit. “E” duly recorded the loss of one of its member since the last tally and phoned in the official report from the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa Bird Banding and Census Station. Noting the cause: Death by Cooper’s Hawk.
Iris Scan
Once again, despite the grainy image, security forces were able to get a iris scan for a positive ID of Rocky searching the waters of the Foggy Bottoms Resort and Spa. The Koi were safely in an aquarium behind the bar in the Lounge. the Face of Everyman seen peacefully sleeping, had made to it his goal that anyone with such unacceptable behavior was not allowed to enter. “R” would have to wait for Crawdad season to open on the first day of Spring.
