BACK FROM THE ABYSS

"Well, I'm back."

Does anyone recognise this quote? It's cool, I'll wait.

Hum de dum de dum....

Oh, alright, I'll tell you. It's the last line from J.R.R. Tolkien's "Lord of the Rings." Spoken by Samwise after returning from the Grey Havens.

I have also returned, or at least, my computer has. While writing the first posts to this VERY blog, my cursor started opening everything it touched, then all things went snappy. My hard drive went to the Great Technologique Museum in Lyons, France, and I was without. Now I'm within.
The first two posts (the ones before this one) are examples of the most recent incarnation of OHD, and now I'm going to embark on reprinting some of the famous Lovely County Citizen colulumns. At three hundred fifty words, they are brief, informative, and manage to make fun of everyone in Eureka Springs Arkansas, where The Citizen is published.
I will be editing each one for some content, though, as the myriad readers of this blog (all none of you, heh heh) will have any idea why the jokes are so funny. Neither did anyone in Eaky Spings.
But no matter how much I make fun of the old hippies, artistes, and foaming-at-the-mouth nosy neighbors (a sanctioned competition sport in Eureka), I urge you to go there, walk the town, buy art and jewelry, and discover the wonderful food, libations, entertainment, and boffo characters the town has to offer. A mix of San Fransisco (architecture), Arkansas (hills, local flavor and forests), Greenwich Village (lifestyles and art), Switzerland (topography), and Disneyland (everything you were and weren't expecting), it's a ton o' fun. Write me and I'll give you the gory details.

Enough!!!
Back to the show, which is already in...progressssssssss........zzzzzZZZZIP!
