* Back when I used to eat sugar with abandon, Necco wafers were my favorites. Just as well I can’t eat them anymore. They’ve turned organic, flavored by such as red beet juice. Sounds dreadful.
* Dick Cheney is backing Kay Bailey Hutchinson for governor. Lordy. While Sarah plumps for Rick Perry. This could be a dustup. What is it about Republicans? Why do they so often choose suicide?
* This weekend I expect to be eating leftover, stale candy corn. A little, anyhow. Might as try a Necco.
* Mr. B., upon learning that his cub scout pack will be picking up trash after his school’s Halloween carnival on Saturday: "That’s the thing about the scouts. There’s the good parts and the bad parts."
* Happy to see this old photo I snatched years ago still draws ’em in. A score or more hits a day, in fact.
THE TEXAS SCRIBBLER 
I love Necco wafers.
I never had them until I was 30. I was waiting for a hair cut and this kid was freaking out for his first haircut so they asked my help.
I sat there and cracked jokes with the kid while I got my hair cut and then got some Necco wafers (he was going to get them too).
I gave him one and ate the rest on my walk home. They were fan-farging-tastic.
I haven’t bought any in a year or two now, I’ll have to try them to see if they’ve screwed the whole thing up.
Let me know. I don’t have the heart to replace a good memory with a bad one.
