You know it's a small town when...

George just called me.

"Michelle, you'll never believe the phone call I had on my answering machine after church!"

"What?"

"It was Mel. She said, "Don't let Clive back into the Shelter WaitList Program tonight. I just saw him walking down the street with a bunch of beer!"

George was rather amused at this phone call from the lady who works at the other building and was OFF duty, driving downtown, waving at Clive on his way to get drunk, and calling George at the same time to give him a head's up.

Clive WAS drunk that night, but he'll be back, ready to try again soon.
