I don't believe that's our ring. I know he's wrong, I'll believe you're right. No, see. Hello, Johnum Downstorm. This is love and after. Let's see what's going on down in Pine Ridge. Cedric is still and camped in his tent in front of the Johnum Downstorm.

He thinks he's establishing a residence that he can trade in for one of the proposed wonderful world apartments departments and no one is able to convince him that a tent is not of sufficient value for this purpose. And so far, Lemon Abner have failed to find a way to make him move because it so happens

that Cedric owns the small strip of ground in front of the store. As we're looking on the little community today, we find Abner in the Johnum Downstorring Library. Lom is just entered. Hey, Dabner, that's the land straw.

Huh? Oh, howdy, Lom. What's the trouble? Look what Cedric's done now. Put up a clothesline and hung his washing on it right in front of her store. Oh yeah, yeah, I've seen that. He borrowed a bucket and some water in here just a while ago.

If that ain't a disgraceful sight, I never seen one. No. But it has to bend down and duck under the washing to get in the store. Oh, you're out in front of the door. And what's worse is you got a couple of them tanks in the states, you know, they do down there.

Yeah. Right where you have to step over them. I tripped on one of them just now. Well, did you hurt yourself? No, but I wish I had, and I could lost some of it. Well, I'll say one thing for him. He's making a heap of money out there.
