- Hearsay’s got it “going on” now: Hearsay saw at least two odd signs while recently riding down the road. Headed home from North Carolina, a sign was seen outside a furniture store: “Furniture Sale Going On.” Closer to home, ‘tween Hartwell and Anderson, a sign was spotted advertising perfume — at least Hearsay assumes it’s the sweet-smelling stuff for sale. “Name Brand Colone,” the sign said.
- Sorry, but Elmer’s isn’t the solution: Here’s one for the bumper-fixing books, brought to you by the local police report in The Hartwell (Ga.) Sun: “A woman reported someone damaged her vehicle while it was parked at Wal-Mart several weeks earlier. She said she decided not to make a report at the time she discovered the damage and tried to fix it herself. She said she decided to make a report (to the police) after she tried to use glue to reconnect the bumper and it did not hold.” Hmm.
- So what the heck’s a Honey Wagon? While in line to get gas the other day, Hearsay pulled in behind an orange-and-white tanker truck with a name on the back that heralded “The Honey Wagon.” Hearsay is hardly shy, so Hearsay asked the driver what the heck was a Honey Wagon? Turns out this truck belongs to a septic tank cleaning service. Eww. Bobby Anderson, owner of said business, smiled and pointed to the truck’s long tank: “Honey Wagon’s what they used to call it when you had a load in here.” Thank you, Bobby, and good day.
- How about Hannah and Rico? It’s no secret that Hearsay loves critters, so here’s a shout-out for “Adopt a Shelter Dog Month” and canine siblings Hannah and Rico. The Hart County (Ga.) Humane Society reports that Hannah and Rico are “about six-and-a-half months old. Their mother is a registered full Boxer. These puppies love to play and run. They are being fostered with other dogs and the foster parent’s two young girls just love to give the puppies big hugs. If you are interested in either Rico or Hannah, please contact their foster mom, Julie Cannon, at 706-376-8977 or e-mail Julie at cjcannon@hartcom.net.”
- Out of the mouths of babes: Grandmother Diane Wassilak, of Hartwell, reports that her 3-year-old grandson, Jordon, had a hankering to go to Dairy Queen one evening. Choosing his words judiciously, he said to his father, Buddy Leach, “I know it’s your decision, Daddy, but Dairy Queen sure would taste good.” Now who could say “no” to that kind of question? Daddy Leach sure didn’t, and it sounds as if little Jordon just might have a future in politics.
