Dusty Springfield at The Pie and Pancake
Two stars was a cause for celebration.We had only ever gotten one star up to that point. Just about everybody in Scoville had taken the time to stretch out their keyboard fingers and let us have it at one point or another. The pie usually took the worst of it.

GUNS AND ROSEWATERThe officer stationed behind the desk at the court house annex noticed when the car came slowly past the plate glass window of the lobby and past the only two empty parking spaces, drove fruitlessly to the end of the lot, which had no outlet, performed a 12 point turnaround, and headed back toward the front of the building. The car pulled into one of the two spaces, which happened to be the only handicapped space available.The car was large and sturdy, not new but well kept. No radical bumper stickers that set off alarm bells. The ladwww.onedoor.ccy that got out of the driver’s side was mu...
