yes, those are tiki torches

How many people do you know, really, who welcome guests the old fashioned way, with citronella-imbued tiki torches? An Entertainment was held at the Goose last night that involved catfish dinner with a smart-mouthed waitress at the cafe across the street, followed by Firedancing, which got her and all of her confreres from the River's Edge Cafe out on the street. Big Doings.
Unfortunately, during the excitement, the Baluchistan Hound ate a bunch of grapes, which are held to cause renal failure in dogs. The Situation is being monitored.
