Now’s a good time to become buddies with Victor Jones
October 19, 2007 at 11:30 am by Thomas Wheatley in NewsHey, Victor. Buddy, chum, daily Fresh Loaf commenter, beacon of hope and knowledge. You know, I can count on you for all things Bibb, but come about 110 days or so, when Atlanta’s water is probably going to run out, I might make a visit to Macon. And I think I might stay there for another 390 days. Until Macon’s water runs out. And then the two of us and any other thirsty folks who want to come along can move to Jones County. And the beauty of the Internets means we’ll still be able to post on here! It’s a win-win!
I’m very clean, don’t own any pets, no criminal history to speak of — passed the background check to work here, after all — and I boast a fine collection of antiques that could easily double as firewood should our power be the second resource to go. Whattya say there, Victor? Wanna hang out and eat ice cream together, watch Dirty Dancing? Welcome a 76-year-old redheaded blogger into the Macon mix. You have roughly 110 days to decide.

Dangit Thomas, i got this bad habit of reading like rain from top – down and like waves left to right and just invited an enormously broad array of hardworking, salt of the earth, thirsty, unshowered, ATL government people down here before i read this post. You know under any other circumstances we’d roll out the scarlet carpet and you’d be welcome.
But, i never, ever forget my friends and i promise to bring you spillproof, strawberry milkshakes and a bib at the old folks home!

“Mclatchy ain’t going to have no human resources after the next round of heads roll. Y’all make sure to salute Commandant Daugherty, ya hear? Mission Accomplished.
This is your future, it’s based on the Bee’s past, brush up on your freelance skills writers, resign is a chicken hawk, acquisitor, spin word for either or. But don’t worry, if you are under 23, with less than 2 years of service, your job is safe:”

I LOVE BIBB COUNTY. Not since P.T. Barnum has there ever been so much perpetual live entertainment under the big tent. The Commissioners have been driven to join the circus and we helped!
Retreat likely for Bibb leaders
