Darn it, call the emergency dispatch. Tell them it’s another 1162C – Carson. Tell them he’s caulked poor Peggy’s eyes shut so they’ll know what to bring. Thanks, Phil.
I figured that Claude would have learned from the last time that he tried to make that thing. Maybe he should have asked Clara to make it. That way, there wouldn’t be any left over pieces.

It’s the “sound effects” that make this animation. The “KA-” and the “FLOOP” just give it that zazz, y’know?

Howdy Cleocians… and all my fellow riders of the mystery train!
Unless it was Claude in the living room with a screwdriver…
I don’t think we’ll get any closer to a closer….
or a killer…
In the Friday, December 4th, 2020 “Cleo and Company” …
Take a look on Sherpa… where Liverlips just sentcha…
I don’t think it would have bypassed our station…
And it’s probably not a scheduled stop,
Because Sam Basset said he could find the murderer by the next stop.
And if I know anything about Sam Basset… he keeps his promises.
If he can.
Ok, well, I think he always MEANS to.
Meanwhile, I like the way the shelf builds up momentum to crash, by rocking of its own accord.
Around here, we call those little leftover pieces “pocket parts”.
A mechanic confessed that to me some years ago.
The car’s finished, the owner is walking into the garage… and you see a little screw or two lying on the ground.
Before he sees them, you casually stuff them into your pocket.
If you’re truly organized, after he leaves, you put them in an envelope in the office, with the date and the car model written on it…
But usually you’re not.
They’re probably not important anyway…
And if they are… he’ll be back.
Years later, working in a hair salon, I found out some stylists use that expression, too…
If the perm solution is too strong, or gets left on too long…
which usually only happens if the stylist is incompetent or the client has such fragile, over bleached hair that she shouldn’t be getting a perm…
A lock of hair can break off when you take the rod out.
They call those “pocket curls.”
Same thing… hide them in your pocket before the client sees them(!)
Except I don’t make pocket curls,
cos I won’t take those clients… or work in a salon like that.

_Good morning, Ballardeers!_ Q Date: 266.98525.52 Jack Frost is visiting more often… yay
Carson is now banned from the store.
Claude has been welcomed into the Wonderful World of IKEA. (no bazooka required.)
Y’all be safe and warm. (((((Hugs)))))_

Oh no! Another day without a grand finale. I sure hope everyone’s okay!
But, it is still good to see Claude is still human, and goes “Floop”.
(Why do I have this sudden urge for a hot dog?)
