Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
It got dark up here about 10:00ā¦ā¦..love it!!!! except, when you want to sit out and watch the stars! Thatās when you stay up till midnight, and then hit the sack instead of reading the comicsā¦ā¦ā¦maybe next week it will be warm enough to sit outā¦ā¦
Wellā¦ Shirttail Creek was a very rich stream, that is a known fact; How did it get the name Shirttail?
The story has it that the miners would wear out the seat of
their pants sitting on the bank panning, Rather than leave the creek to go get new trousers, they would pull out their shirt tails and let them hang down and cover their derriers
Like many legends, thereās a certain lack of logic. :-))
I also know that there is no way to contact any of them. I would run into them sometimes on the creej\k, or along the North Fork. Knew first names or nicknames, no contact info. I remember them, can close my eyes and call up faces butā¦ā¦ those faces were 35-45 years ago.
As for the statements from the Trib Synd. that Annie will go on in other forms,ā¦ 1) My sensitive B.S. detector tells me to believe it when I see it; and 2) if it doesnāt involve long on-going storylines, it just wonāt be Annie.
Itās as I suspected not much progress is going to be made to resolve Annieās plight ā¦ the ādanceā with Shutter has moved to Mexican Immigration on āthe Butcherā matter
Iām not sure I understand your meaning. If you are thinking the old saying āop the creek without a paddleā. I assure you sir that there is no navigable water on Shirttail Creek until you get up to where they were building the dam for Sugar Pine reservoir aka Sugar Pine Lake.
If that was your thinking, then I should clarify what the Ballad of Shirttail Slim is about.
It is a short song about a person who prospected for gold.
out in the Sierra foothills.
If you are suggesting that it is a bit of self-aggrandizing, you just might be right. :-)
