The Head Fool Speaks
Around 1:30 on Saturday, I was feeling a little hungry so I stopped at Red’s donuts in Seaside for a feel good snack (shhh! Don’t tell the Doctor). When I got inside, Jose and Maribel were sitting at a table devouring what looked like a smorgasbord of Mexican and deli foods. Jose pointed to the donuts and with his mouth full said what I thought was help yourself. i grabbed an apple fritter, put a couple of bucks on the counter for the donut and tip. On the way out, Ii stopped by their table and thanked them for what was the best service I ever received in my 12 years of patronizing Red’s.

Editor’s Note
I saw a flock of wild turkeys the other day. Made me think of that special day when, those of us who eat turkey, spend an entire 24 hours plucking and roasting and eating. OK, I don’t actually pluck, but I have pluck and that’s what counts. This issue is full of pluck – or maybe that’s cluck or duck; I don’t know and I should since I’m the editor. What I do know is that pluck, cluck or duck doesn’t rhyme with humor and that’s what’s in this issue. Hmmm … what does rhyme with humor? Femur? Lemur? Memur …or wait, that’s my grandma. Enough already, huh?!
Laugh a lot this month. Check out the new features in this issue. Let us know if they made you giggle.
Happy OTD!
