I’m so glad that Slim Randles came back to be today’s Wednesday’s Guest with an update on the squirrel hoax that Doc started last week. Doc thought he had the upper hand on the joke, but read on and see who took it away from him. When you finish here, you can find me over
Please help me welcome Slim Randles with another bit of friv… er… humor to brighten our mid-week and push us off to Friday with a chuckle. Let’s join the guys at the Mule Barn truck stop and have a hot cup of coffee. Enjoy…. It might have been the winter doldrums that did it. You
