WHITE CO.—Today is the birthday of one of our bestest friends….a sagacious mind and a deep thinker….tools around in a little yard gnomish white car with a littler orange rotating light on top for those frequent stops….wearer of the beard from hell (and of perpetual Hawaiian shirts, even in the dead of winter)….that’s right…..your buddy and ours….

The Sage of the Wabash….

The Pond Creek Prophet….

That’s right, today, KEN HARTSOCK

IS 50 YEARS OLD!!!

We promised him we wouldn’t tell anybody, so keep it quiet, would ya? Thx. But stay tuned….we’re thinking about posting his business cell phone so everyone can call & wish him a happy birthday….
