The good news. Olive's grandmother survived,

 the bad news, the room she was sleeping in (and the one below it) did not when a huge tree fell and crushed the side of the house. They don't have insurance and they just had the roof installed last year. So stay tuned for some clowny disaster relief fundraising.

Woah, turns out it was 3 trees that hit the house, a Giant cedar and a couple of hemlocks. They shoved each other around in a way that made the big one perfectly miss creaming grandmas bed. Also Olives Mom took a spill off a huge ladder while trying to tarp the roof. She hit her head hard on the pavement. All through this the fam fam have what I can only call heroic attitudes. It's going to be on the channel 12 news tonight. Olive is setting up a proper fund site for this challenged but steadfast family.

When I hear trouble, I come running.

I was looking into some screaming last night and found 2 young women in fast food garb, waiting at a bus stop. I ran up expecting a crime scene. "Were we too loud? Sorry, she's getting married and we are practicing fake orgasms. I decided to give them an unsolicited acting lesson. " I told them that if they were going for realism they shouldn't shriek like monkeys in a shark attack. Save that move for emergencies. Rule of thumb is, "Less is more." I suggested a more realistic method would be to act like a stroke victim. "Let half your face go limp… Or you could go the easy way and  be sure to marry a person who is a good lover.” They were very appreciative, “Thanks random guy in a bathrobe!”

It's safe to say I have never been a fan of the Gova mint,

but I have always supported the troops any way I could. Today a troop supported us. She noticed that after we finished an exciting show to an over-packed house, the back quarter of the room just split stiffing us entirely. "Did you see that? You can't go on at that rate". She was livid. It was great for us not just because she stacked our deck, the fact that somebody noticed and cared left my head clear to concentrate on what I'm good at, clowning. She is considering being our manager soon as she finishes serving our country.
