Some sort of fairytale
Once upon a time in the fictional county of Sam Benito there was
a nice princess who loved her subjects and watched carefully over
her Sam Benito County employees’ appreciation barbecue. The nice
princess made sure there was plenty of food and drink for all Sam
Benito County employees no matter the time of their arrival. When
it looked like they were running low on food, the nice princess
immediately sent out for more. The employees of Sam Benito County
felt appreciated and lived happily ever after.

Next week the story of another princess. A not-so-nice princess, but an Ice Princess, in a real county that sounds like Sam Benito County. You will definitely want to read next week’s fairy tale as told by a real fairy.
Love that full page ad along with my Playboy this month for the Lord’s prayer diamond pendant. Which I guess kind of makes sense as the centerfold was an angel. Aye chee waa waa.
When I mentioned the Hotel Dabo in Hollister some newcomer wanted to know what I was talking about. The Hotel Dabo when I was growing up in Hollister was one of the most beautiful hotels in California and was run by one fo the finest host families in the United States, the Dabo family. Mrs. Catherine Dabo still lives in the Fifth Street home across from where I grew up. They were wonderful neighbors with laughter seemingly nonstop, especially around the holidays. This last Thanksgiving you could hear the laughter of 44 family members. Mrs. Dabo, Could you make it 45 this year? I don’t eat much and I live to laugh.
If the Hollister city manager was managing a McDonald’s he would have been fired and reduced in rank to playing Ronald McDonald in Coalinga.
As for the city council, they can’t run Hollister’s business so they vote to go into the T-shirt business and lose $96,000. The Hollister city council would be lucky to get a job with Chuck E. Cheese in Boca Raton. Aye chee waa waa.
“But Bobby, they are all real nice people. Whenever we need help with a charity barbeuce or rides for seniors, they are always the first to help.”
Hey, I know a lot of nice people, but wouldn’t trust them with my taxes. The Hollister City Council should not be a popularity contest. What you have to do is recall the five and have five business people with solid fiscal backgrounds ready to take over city hall. You know the kind I mean. That woman whose been running that dress shop. The guy who keeps that pizza place going no matter the economy. The little mom and pop grocer who knows how to turn out a light when not in use. Turn off the lights; the party’s over City Council.
But knowing the good citizens of Hollister, you will vote yourself another tax hike like you did last year with Measure T, and give the nice people on the council yet another chance. This time letter the tax measure D for Dumb.
Last week’s quick quiz answer was that San Jose, now the Bay Area’s largest city, did not have a Cinerama theater. Many states didn’t have one, yet “West” was the largest box office grosser of 1963.
“Best hamburger I have ever eaten in San Benito County.” This from someone who knows quality, about the 19th Hole Rendezvous in Tres Pinos. I trust this person so much I want to give it my highest four aye chee waa waa’s. The last time I was at that great historical bar they were not serving food, which was fine as we ended up my brother Ray’s bachelor party there and food was the last thing on our minds. Has Ray been married for 30 years? Liz, the tamale queen of Hollister, sure is lucky. The tamale queen, of Hollister, and married to a Valenzuela. Aye chee waa waa.
Today’s Los Angeles Times has a two-page color ad for a movie that will not open until December. It is a remake of a 1951 classic science fiction film with this great line. Klaatu Barada Nikto. Your choice is simple, join us and live in peace or pursue your present course and face obliteration. What was the name of the movie?
Need more police to fight crime? The police here shot a homeless man with a toy gun dead. They also hit an innocent bystander and a dog. How many bullets did they fire at the homeless man with a toy gun? 47 shots. That ought to do it. Maybe if we charged police for bullets, they could kill a homeless man with just, say, 32 slugs, and save the taxpayers some money. Aye chee waa waa.
