           It was around 82' , I guess. Whatever year I was in 5th grade. That's the where of it right there. Mr. Bridges was a nice Teacher. Unfortunately for him , he had 2 neighbor kids in his class.
           I wonder if he saw it coming? I was 9 or 10 at the time and I seen it right off. Wendy and Amy Wagner. No relation. They were Mr. Bridges neighbors , they had let our class know it right off.
            Them 2 seats right in front of his desk? Yeah , says Wendy , we will be sitting there , cause like I said , we are his neighbors.
            And sit there they did. I could see that Wendy was in charge. Amy just went along cause she couldn't get away from Wendy. Not even at home. Cause everybody knows that they are neighbors.
            And Wendy is in charge. Redheads are all the same. Evil little creatures that I never did understand.
I'm 48 this year and I ain't found one that ain't full of hate and discontent yet.
            As a child , I was quiet and shy. I find it hard to believe myself these days but it's true. Jesus has a way of doing that to people. There's a fella on tv , James Robinson or Robison , something similar. Anyway, he says the same thing. He was quiet and shy as a kid. Rather take a zero than stand in front of the class for anything at all.
             Makes me wonder why he wouldn't stand his ground against the cartel. But he didn't. You can't be on television if your not laundering cartel dope money. You'll never convince me otherwise. Talk to your beloved Jesus. You called his name , not mine.
            The Apostle Paul called on Caesar. And to Caesar he went. He could have been set free by the Law. The Law had nothing on him. King Agrippa or whoever it was, ask your Sunday School Teacher , they know this one. Anyhow, they said, you could have been set free from the Law , for I find no fault in you.
            But you said, I appeal to Caesar.
Once you invoke the name of one higher than him , there is nothing he can do. The matter, no matter how big or minute , must now be everyone's concern.
            God started it though. It was all his fault. I blame Jesus Christ for everything. Everyone I fart. He's on mind. When I'm constipated cause the drugs you made me take that really are harmful won't let me shit right. I blame him.
            Stress is hard on the human body. Imma weight loser when I get stressed. I don't get stressed that hard very often though. At first I did. Then I realized that you were just tell me everything and all I had to do was wait for it.
            Your eager to lie in court , cause you think Tom Belindas brother playing baseball is the new 3rd Reich.
Everybody does.
            12 years ago I tried to convince my ex wife that joining Tara Herman was not a good idea. She said I was jealous. I never said anything about the mob or criminal activity that I had knowledge of cause that's what she was looking for.
             I explained my snowglobe theory to her as nonchalantly as possible but to no avail. Then she got what she always wanted. She had been betrayed by the Hollidaysburg borough Police.
            Even Judge Doyle agreed that time. Brad Code is a dirty little bastard. Soon as the State Police heard he lies under oath alright, they hired him on.
            8 or 9 years later , Rebecca got her chance and she was not letting it go. She was gonna get even with Brad Codd one day. And me too.
            So she used her special powers too. And had Brad Codd lie along with her. Knowing the whole damn time that she won't answer for it but he will.
            Beck is a notary public forced by the Pennsylvania State Police, Retired Trooper Brad Codd in particular . To lie on official court documents to hide the wickedness and the evil of the Pennsylvania State Police.
            And so she kept it up. Tattle telling on everyone , so she was. Wendy Wagner , back in 5th grade. She was getting so good at telling Mr. Bridges what was going on behind her back that he could clearly see it wasn't happening anymore.
             She's smart too. Wendy Wagner is. I've never met a stupid redhead. I have trouble finding ones that don't know everydamn thing. Not stupid ones.
            Then the day came that I was waiting for. Kinda reminded me of my Old Man. Mr. Bridges did. Like I said earlier, real nice fella but start lying to him once , when he can clearly see what your lying about. And I enjoyed those fireworks and the tears of Wendy Wagner.
            Then , after they were both done , we didn't have no tattle tales in Mr. Bridges class the rest of that year.
            She went on to fame and fortune then. Wendy Wagner did. She knew it was a good idea to join organized crime. That way she can tell me all about what everyone in Scotch Valley is doing , cause like she's been saying forever , she lived I Scotch Valley.
She knows everything that goes on down back in there
            What happened to my bats Wendy? It's one holler over. What happened?
