The Dingus family are known known for their bottle trees. This might be from that time Uncle Lucky got kicked in the head by a mule, but they started to have trouble with haints, evil spirts for the uninitiated.

Man, eggs are expensive. Farmer Johnson says don’t go to the Kroger. He’s got you covered. Instead of paying $7 a dozen he’s happy to work something out under the table. Just don’t ask too many questions.

Our Friend Carla Jenkins found this old tin-type photo of town founder Martha Adams just before she was left behind by her first husband Jethro on their journey west. Most folks don’t know, the original name of our town was Shithead’s Landing referring to Jethro.

Opossum Butts, your friend and mine Dirtybeard Couch caught these buggers rootin’ thru his trash last night. As the snow melts, you never know what will come of those woods.
- Keep your pets inside
- Don’t leave your trash out at night
The one in the back looks pretty big.

Snow has fallen is Opossum Butt, blanketing the roads and givin’ folks a reason to skip church on Sunday. Preacher Jones said he has a sermon filled with fire and brimstone to warm ya right up but I’ll be home with hot coffee and a Snuggie.
Stay safe out there and keep warm.
