Outside of a dog, a book is a
m a n ’s best friend, inside of a dog
it’s too dark to read.
We are talking about the past and the future as
folks often do at the end of the year; according to
the calendar now in use on this edge
We would note that Osburn’s Grocery celebrated
its 20th Anniversary this fall. The store was the
original site of the first Cannon Beach" Post
Office in 1922 We are particularly fond of
Osburn's; they supply us with the paper bags that
we use to mail our papers, they employ Dr
Karkeys and several other very nice folks; and.
dear to the beloved reverend's heart. The
Founder was a Washboard PLyer. Will Osburn
(pictured above). He played music on the porch
in the summer, and though your beloved editor
never had the luck to hear him play or jam with
him, he had heard of the existence of a class
washboardist in Cannon Beach, for years
It must be noted that the gentleman shrugged
this mortal coil in a manner befitting a class
washboardist; in a red convertible in a parade
down the main street of town, surrounded by
people he loved and who loved him
Other than that, we don! know what the
headline means either
Q ro u c b o M a rx
BASEBALL
What if there were these rich folks,
less than thirty actual people, and they
owned all the places in America where
music could be played and they had
these guys, talented musicians, and rich
too, who played for them. But the
musicians didn't like the owners' music,
so they wouldn't play. And they
couldn't play for anyone else, even if
other folks liked “their’ music, so
nobody in America could listen to the
music. Right? Wrong!! Call your
Senator! Dammit, Joe DiMaggio hasn't
lived to be BO years old to watch
Baseball end this way Figure it out, or
w ell find someone who will!! Nike,
Microsoft, Disney, Pepsi, Sony, do we
make ourselves clear?
