I have enjoyed these many stories about "Milton Creek." Maybe take all the writings from everyone and put them into a fun book. I enjoyed your fun write/picture. When you got to go, you got to go. Enjoy your day/week.............

Hi Paula. The majority belong to Mayor Tom, and only at his discretion could that thought come to fruition. Thanks.

Tom would make sure he went, and he might even round up a posse' to escort him into the next county! Thanks, Danny.

I’m guessing the stranger had already started leaking on himself, when he seen the size of Toms weapon, super limerick Lin with just the right balance of humour, I’m sure Tania will love this one, and Tom too, cheers David

Lin Lane
Date: 4/28/2023 3:17:00 PM

ha David, that's entirely possible. Mayor Tom doesn't mess around with strangers comin' into the Creek. Thanks for the great comments.
