While walking in our neighborhood, Braveheart and I have encountered our share of odd characters. There's overly protective Thelma Kritz and her precious iris bed. Herb the Slob and his droopy drawers. There's also the new neighbor who could only achieve a black belt in karate with a can of black spray paint. And evil Weed Mother. Scattered among neighborhood stories are unrelated tales with other characters, such as the tale of the Wild West's temporary-deputy sheriff, Rip Snorter. There's one about the geek and the Navajo chief and their quest for a tail feather from the Sacred Bird of Creation. Also a desperate man and his butt-pad. And a raven's critique of Edgar Allan Poe's rocky love-life. Buy this book. It's perfect for short commuter flights, for a convenient bathroom read, or as a gift for someone when you've run out of all other ideas. And it might not cost more than an extra-large latte, or an extra-large mocha, or an extra-large whatever.
