The Gravely Institute of the Rockies

The Alberton Papers, Vol. III, #9
By Dick Darne 12-25-06
It’s a great day to be alive and well, this Christmas day in beautiful downtown Alberton. I would like to thank all my faithful readers for your interest and support this year. In the coming year, I will utilize the underutilized services of "The Gravely Institute Of The Rockies", a prestigious think tank, located in the heart of the rockies, right here in Alberton. This is where the wisest of the wise, the most experienced, smartest, best educated, manliest of men come together to share our brains. We will convene as necessary to think about stuff. The most brilliant musings will appear in the Alberton Papers, but we can think on request. Of course, being a not-for-profit, we can only accept compensation in the form of pies. This will contribute to our piety. If someone has a particular problem that requires some serious thinking, or just some "allowing", drop us a line. For a confidential reply, send a self addressed, stamped envelope and no one will ever know. Our expert thinkers are eagerly waiting to serve you. Our range of thoughts extend from foreign policy ( ex. Q. What about Red China? A. Should be set on a white tablecloth.) To down to earth, (ex. Q. What’s the white stuff in chicken dung? A. It’s chicken dung also). For your love life, be sure to include all details, as it helps with the thought process. Standing by to assist us are our consultants in North Dakota, at the Nodak Institute of Financial and Musical Technology, (NIFMUT).
Keep those cards and letters coming in. dd
