spotted, at the goose

Thomasville's most famous former journalist was spotted moving into the Goose today. The Spotted Goose, better known to denizens of the pop. 100 (maybe) town as the former post office or, according to Woodrow Junior Parrott, "The Old Show House—you know, theater," was taken over by the lady from New York City who drinks imported beer yesterday. After the papers were signed, Mike, the former owner, neighbor Bear and Junior, who had come by to buy and try to start Mike's old truck, spent some quality time repairing the water pump at the Goose. That this involved driving three miles of dirt tracks out into the forest to Junior's hunting cabin to get some pipe glue was just a bonus. Water is still leaking, but at least it's also running out of the faucet. Word to the wise: communications are not even spotty at the Goose—no cell, no phone, no Internet—so if you need me, leave a message on my cell or in comments, and I'll get back to you. Maybe Monday.
