Upon movin' t' Texas I created an account wit' a social media app designed fer scallywags in a neighborhood.
Posts typically range from "I saw a bobcat in me yard!" t' "Does anyone know wha' th' new construction be?"
'n "Can somebody recommend..."; every now 'n again somebody will become a nuissance, or make some really
bold 'n squiffy statement (one guy ranted about how he got ticketed fer nah wearin' a seat belt), or gets super
o'erzealous about th' animal shelter, but fer th' most part, scallywags behave.
A couple o' weeks ago I saw an interestin' post from someone who wanted t' start a regular
Euchre game.
Now, I be from th' Euchre region o' th' midwest, so I was a wee shocked t' see a post like this.
Th' new group played its first game night a couple o' weeks ago, 'n we had fun! 'twas a group o' scallywags
who generally had a few years on us, but it wasn't an "ole beauty party" by any means. Laurel 'n I joined
primarily 'cause we don't really know anybody in town yet — we've lived here fer a year, 'n I work
ALL. Th'. Time. So we had hoped we'd find some nice scallywags, 'n we did — 'n scallywags who knew our galleon town
'n still 'ave tons o' kinfolk in th' area. We heard lots o' familiar city names that evenin', 'n we
both felt pretty happy we'd made th' effort t' connect.
Tonight be th' second meetin' — this time at a local galley. 'n I can nah wait!
