The Rendon Cafe now has a new AKA.(Also Known As). Cops tend to call that an Alias, but as we are all, nearly all, mostly, practically, somewhat law abiding citizens, we are just also known as "Carol's Country Cafe." The citizens in question submitted 104 names for the cafe. As you all (at least the 4 of you who read this newsletter) know, The Committee to choose the name was comprised of Sally, Rex, and Robert. Robert, being the only Committee member in attendance was forced to choose the name by himself, as the other two members could not make it to the meeting to help choose the name. Failure to attend that meeting would normally have dire consequences, but consideration is given to the reason for the absence. Both Committee members had excellent, very good, absolutely acceptable, perfectly adequate excuses for missing that meeting.
Rex, as you all know, is a renowned ichthyologist who, on the night in question, had a burning need to know for sure if Alligator Gar could swim from the Gulf of Mexico up the Trinity River all the way to Fort Worth. If I had known he needed this information I could have saved him a long arduous trip, and told him "Yes, they can swim that far, and do quite frequently." Rex didn't know I know about Gar, so while Robert was choosing a cafe name, Rex was somewhere around Huntsville with his Ouchita Jon boat being pushed smartly along by a 9.9 Mercury outboard, dodging stumps and slapping mosquitoes. Rex is excused.
Sally had to wash her hair. Sally is excused.
