Strange Brew by John Deering for September 16, 2021

Stick man looks happy, must not be Oak.

Pining for the good old days.

Got your back- I and arms \/ and head O and legs /\.

He’s so reliable. He’ll STICK with it!

Going into the branch office to check his hedge funds.

Watch out! Anything wood, is scarce….

From knockin’ around in New York City

Where they’ll roll you for a nickel

And they’ll stick you for the extra dime

.

Paul Simon

My dog watches that market religiously.

He must be making a pile these days, with the price of lumber going through the roof!!!
