You old coot. Hehe. Dale has some strange ideas but his heart is in the...well, the squire seems like a decent fellow, even if a bit misguided. Haha. Another awesome Dale and Squire post. I love it, Ricky.

I think the squire tries his best given what he’s dealing with. Tough times back then.

You’re very kind, Parker. Appreciate your reading and commenting.

Love this! 💯

Very thoughtful of Dale to want to make sure that the charity would be a community effort!

We should use the term “clodpoll” more. Consider this my petition 😌

I’ll sign as well. Has that perfect old school condescending feel to it. Thanks, Rebel!

Wet water and burning tallow -- plenty of hilarious moments in this story, Ricky! And it reminds me of those times in the grocery store when they ask you to round up for charity. I always think, hey, if you're all about charity, why aren't YOU rounding up my bill instead of me?!?! Thank you for entertaining us!!

Bum straw, wet water, and charity glaze are all funny and memorable. Thanks for the laughs, Ricky.

Thanks you! Always appreciate hearing what you think. Thought about charity glaze for a title, but figured it was nice to end on. Thanks again!
