Bill graduates!
After seven months, Bill has finally completed his computer
programming course! The school, MTI Business College (a school Bill recommends, though not
for computer programming) had a graduation ceremony and everything; complete with caps and gowns (a wonderful evening gown, great for any formal occasion).
Now maybe Bill will get a real job. Maybe.
Doug starts show
Doug has already begun his Christmas season art show. This year it's in Lancaster, which is north of Los Angeles, south of Bakersfield, west of Las Vegas and east of Ventura. And this time he's got a new product, personalized mugs. They're reportedly selling like hotcakes. So, place your orders early!
Don buys motorcycle
Yeah, another one. Now he has three — one for touring, one for daily commuting, and one with training wheels for Diane.
Speaking of threesomes, Diane and Don also have three cats — one for show (Bart), one for protection (Conan), and one with training wheels (DOS).

THE ELECTIONS AND YOU
[Editor's Note: The following article is solely the opinion of its author. This newsletter accepts no responsibility for its content or any consequences therefrom, thereby or therewith.]
- With the November 6th elections just around the corner, there's a chance to make yourself heard once again. So get out there, team, and vote, vote, vote! (Bill made me hype this up, I swear!) [No he didn't.]
- With Wilson or Feinstein, our future looks bleak. [Vote for Steve! He's running for governor this year.] But there is another area where there's still hope - the environment. Let me show you how I'll vote. And if you vote against me you'll be omitted from the upcoming Holmes family documentary. [That's a threat.]

- Prop 126 - Legislature's alcohol tax measure. VOTE NO
