Need a place to nap?

By Howard B. Owens

Some wiseacre sent along this picture captured from the Marchese Computer shop web cam with the remark, "no body's laid down yet."

To be honest Howard, I think that is clever since I have never seen anyone use the new bench outside of Pok-a-Dot. If you remember that bench was going to bring in riff-raff.

It looks like a sting operation for riff raff and reprobates. There was a couch out there for a day, about two months ago, but somebody grabbed it.

That was day three of Mattress Watch. On day four a guy trimmed up the tree and five or ten people walked by who looked like they wanted to lie down, but they didn't. Now the tree looks nice and garbage bags are acting as mulch.
Everyone in Batavia should make a Bookmark of the Marchese webcam. You can spot your friends cars for sure, plus I watch it like TV because I know something cool is going to happen, at that very spot, someday. I don't know what it is yet but I have my eye on that part of the world. I hope it is something good, I think it will be. That parking lot across the street would make a great Farmers/Fleamarket on off days, wouldn't it? I think I have seen it do that before, or something like that. Y'all stay peaceful and loving, as if their were any other reasonable way.
