Happy Bucks
Lion Pat was happy that Franks Appliance recently replaced his stove.
Lion Dee was happy Easter was Sunday and wanted everyone to consider its meaning.
Lion Bob Line was happy that his grandson, who coaches the El Demonte baseball team, was playing in a tournament in San Diego this weekend.
Lion Roy was happy the Dodgers had won on Thursday and was happy he had a good novel to read, only to find out it was a horror story since it took place in and around Oracle Pack, the home of the Giants.
Lion Allen had a trivia buck. He asked if anyone knew why Easter always fell on different days. Easter’s exact date may seem arbitrary, but it’s always on the Sunday after the first full moon (also known as the Paschal Full Moon) that occurs after the spring equinox. This means that Easter can fall anywhere between March 22 and April 25.
Lion Steve was happy that his Granddaughters volleyball team had gone 8 + 1 this year.
Lion Melinda was happy her son got hired on at Cal Trans. He will be working along highway 99 between Visalia and Fresno. (I will be on the lookout for him)
Fines
Lion Pat fined Lion Leigh for not hitting him up for donations to Tulare County’s Special Olympics. He gets mail from the National office that he puts into the round file because the money doesn’t go locally.
Lion Dee fined Lion Bob Line because he saw advertisements that living at Quail Park Shannon Ranch, where Lion Bob lives, was like being on a Cruze.
