Anybody get the idea that Chip has run away? He hasn't posted in this thread in over 2 weeks even though he peeked through the curtains about 10 days ago. I'd like to hear what his "visitors" have had to say about these last 3 months we supposedly have left. And I'm betting his kids are back in school and not down on the farm.

Meanwhile, here's a little ditty with apologies to Del Shannon and Max Crook:

Runaway

As he walks along
He wonders what went wrong
With the prophecy, the one that was so strong.
And as he still walks on
Does he think of what he's said and done
To all of those whose minds that are so young?

He's a-walkin' in the rain,
In the rain that he can't restrain
Wishin' he was in Galilee
To end his misery
And I don't wonder -
I don't wah-wah-wah-wonder
Why,
Why-why-why-why-why he ran away
But I do wonder
What he will say-ay
On that December day,
The one from which he'll run away.
