Leftovers
You know how responsible and respectable news media, like the Berkeley Daily Planet for example, must occasionally print a retraction, correction, or omission in a subsequent edition? Well, it does happen to the best, even the venerable rag known as the Kollegiate of the Berkeley

The Barfly Knows
There was considerable swagger and bragging today around the Refreshment Stand about drugs (prescription & otherwise) and personal likes and dislikes of same. The discussion involved claims to
secret stashes of mind-enhancing and pain-relieving drugs and elixirs such as Percocet, Vicodin, Stolichnaya and Vapo-Rub. There were even those who claimed to be quietly seeking alternative and experimental treatments such as acupuncture, herbal medicines, and even back-rubs, massages & rubdowns. All participants remaining upright then proceeded gleefully down to the meeting of the greatest service club within a several block radius.
Business as Usual
B. Price led a questionably harmonious vocal tribute, W. Carpenter gave a very welcome thankful word that won the prize for the shortest ever in BK history, and Haley toted the fearsome finebox.
You will find out a little later on that it was a very special day today….THE ANNUAL MEETING OF OUR CLUB AND OUR FOUNDATION!
In recognition of that, we had some very special guests, including the sitting, and several past, Lt Governors and esteemed comrades from our "mother club" in Oakland

*Retreading = Big Business
For the last couple years, J. Egeberg thought he had a lock on the title of "Retread," although he's not really the first to have that distinction. In recent history, W. Carpenter fully owns that title, having been President in 1995-96 and 1999-2000. Going farther back in club history is well beyond the mental capacity of this reporter.
Now that it's a sign of things to come, it is incumbent on us to deal with this stigma. A contest would be appropriate, and here is the 1st proposition:
Wm F. Carpenter Retread Sr.
J. L. Egeberg Retread Jr.
T. J. Paradis Retread III (the 3rd)
R. S. Bliss Retread IV (the 4th)
…and so on. There must be better ideas out there -- bring 'em on in! j.e.
