It's the Day of the Show, Ya'll

I’ve been coming to this circle for about five years and measuring it. The diameter and the circumference are constantly changing, but the radius stays the same. Which brings me to the number 5. There are five letters in the word Blaine. Now, if you mix up the letters in the word Blaine, mix ‘em around, eventually you’ll come up with Nebali. Nebali. The name of a planet in a galaxy way, way, way… way far away. And another thing. Once you go into that circle, the weather never changes. It is always 67 degrees with a 40% chance of rain.

Yeah, it’s a lot like that. Only different.

I feel a little like Libby Mae Brown. “I been working here at the DQ for about, um… eight months? Seven? I don’t know, somethin’ like that. It’s fun. Just do the cones… make the sundaes, make Blizzards, ‘n… put stuff on ‘em ‘n… see a lot of people come in, a lot of people come to the DQ… burgers… ice cream… anything, you know? Cokes… just drive in and get a Coke, if you’re thirsty.”

Yep, I’m just makin’ the cones.

It’s fun.

You could do a hell of a lot worse that Libby Mae Brown, DQ Blizzard Pioneer.
