Harry, I just got off the phone with Norm, you know how he likes to start making calls at 6am... Anyway he promised he is going to visit us at the bee booth at the State Fair today. He wants our autographs. Hope he hasn't turned into a process server. See you there from 3-7pm.

Is that what he said?
Not the old "autograph routine" again.
What did we do now?

Thom, You left your camera and a box of stuff in my rig when we bailed Norm out.
I'm sending it back with him.
Some good news, the security guard admitted getting smart with him and says that he isn't pressing the issue.
They are keeping him overnight at the hospital for observation however. hopfully he doesn't change his mind by morning.

Never a dull moment. For those fans of the exploits of Normie, here's the story. Norm drops by to say hi to me and Harry at the OSBA booth. The booth is by a row of open doors where bees are coming into the building to try to rob the hive we have in a screened room. So by 5pm the room is hot, the smell of honey is everywhere and bees from the outside are swarming the OSBA booth. Then this family with Bush/Cheney stickers all over them freaked out by the bees that are flying free call the Fair Management to shut us down. Harry explains that the bees came from outside, so we close the door and the problem is solved. Then Norm starts swatting all the loose bees and a couple with Kerry/ Edwards stickers tell Norm to stop killing the bees and that they haven't done anything to deserve being swatted. So now Norm is angry with both major political party supporters. He goes over to the Republican booth and starts heckeling the people inside who are giving out stickers and registering voters. Security removes Norm from the building, then he goes over to the Democrat booth outside and starts heckeling them. Some Fair Official sees this going on...needless to say a short while later Norm is escorted out of the fair by people in uniform, hence the bond and the overnight evaluation.
I can hardly wait to see what Norm does at the fall conference.

Norm, I only wrote that to get the true word out about what happened before people read the Salem Police report and started making things up. People are interested i n your exploits. Jenny Bee even asked me how she can get one of your hats. I first told her that she would have to stay on your good side for 20 minutes, but then I told her that you may be donating some to the OSBA auction. Now you are on the spot. Do you have some hats to spare?

Amazing story, someone's living life to its fullest and then some. Is that date of birth correct, 79? My opinion of Norm did change -- it improved. I would love to have seen that ruckus.  Found a honey buyer, $1.10 for everything, down 16% for me from last year. |
