Come & get it

"JUSTBOB"

Hard to pass up on an invitation for grub. Will make a note on calendar and plan to come. Maybe, after lunch the group could caravan around Springfield for some photo ops and if nothing else torment the locals?

BEST REGARDS, BARNEY O.

I was sure planning on making it to the Golden Corral, but it ended up that my brother was in town from California to start clearing out our mother's house. I thought it would slow down by Saturday since we started on Monday, but it didn't work out that way. I'll shoot for next time, and hope Murphy isn't hanging around!

On another note, on the way home from Mom's place (either Friday or Saturday), I saw a yellow smart heading south on Veterans Parkway at Old Jacksonville Road. It had a black and yellow checkered pattern on the sides.

Always nice to see another smart on the road!
