Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for February 09, 2015

Alice, you want snow piles? To quote that semi-classic 70’s song, “Please, Come To Boston”…

Dill, as a semi-pro grocery cart wrangler, may run amok at this portentous allegation by the big brother of his future bride….Beware, the Sootis!

I find runaway carts all over the city, and not near any stores…Strange!Most of them are at the bus stops, but they don’t get picked up, no moneys

Don’t forget that Dill wants to be a grocery cart herder like one of his brothers when he grows up. For him this is personal.

Our snow is still fresh and still growing. There are mountains of white snow in the parking lots with no sign of the sooties yet. They won’t show up until mid march over here.

I miss my sooty snow mountains in the parking lot at Pick ’n Save, Plymouth, WI.

Worst part of snow – those big dirty, ugly mountains that last long after all the other snow is gone.

I like the way Petey’s mind works.

Petey just expanding on Charles Dickens’s original ‘A Tale of Two Sootis’.

“(…L)ittle trolls called Sootis(…)”

I wonder if they’re any relation to these little critters:

This is clearly personal for Dill. Hes’ concerned for his brothers, the cart wranglers.

No nothing that is done, can be undone!
