Folks started calling the civil disobedience, The Nonstop Clop and Plop Drop.

Looks like we might not ever see another Bring Your Mule to Work Day. It’s hard to keep up with all this progress and change here. I remember when mules just worked til they died. Then the town would hold a Mule Pull to drag the animal to its reward under a big shade tree on a hill. Mules didn’t have any rights at all, cept to die. At least, now in Hogspore, they can vote, picket, protest, and be as happy as the rest of us. Once a cell phone with a keyboard for hooves is made, them mules are gonna be on Twitter. It should be mighty interesting, cause mules like to gossip, and they can get real sarcastic.

National News: The Independent political party has a campaign to solve the Republican-Democrat gridlock. They’re offering free untethered balloon rides over Alaska to any registered Democrat or Republican in the country. Libertarians can also ride at no cost, cause they love that freedom stuff too.

Answer: “He’s shear.” Question: “Do you still have the Alpaca?”

HOT SPRINGS – Local lovers of the outdoors, get ready. The outdoors-themed event of the region is this weekend.

The 37th annual Hot Springs Boat, Tackle and RV Show will take place this weekend, Feb. 24-26, in downtown Hot Springs at the Hot Springs Convention Center and Bank OZK Arena. If you are in the market for a new boat, RV or tackle, you’re in luck. The Hot Springs Boat, Tackle and RV Show is one of the best places for adventures-seekers to find their dream boat, RV and will showcase the latest innovations in gear, tackle, accessories and apparel.

Arkansas continues to be a giant recreational area with hundreds of lakes, rivers, streams and parks offering boaters and campers fun, affordable family recreation. The Hot springs Boat and RV Show will feature a wide variety of information on Arkansas-based resorts, campgrounds, boating and RV accessories. The event will also include the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission’s Mobile Aquarium as well as dock and lift boat exhibitors and other exhibits related to the boat and RV industries — all under one roof.

Recent boat and RV shows have shown solid attendance and solid sales as the boating and RV industries continue to do well. There has hardly ever been a better time to enjoy the vast outdoors opportunities Arkansas provides.

“The outdoors industry in Arkansas is thriving,” said Ken Griffey, show producer to the Hot Springs Boat, Tackle and RV Show. “Arkansans recognize the outdoor opportunities available in the Natural State and there is no better way to reconnect with family and friends than in a boat or RV. With 52 state parks right here in Arkansas, family camping and boating experiences are endless. And if you’re looking for the next boat or RV to enjoy our great outdoors, the 37th annual Hot Springs show is the place to be.”

This year’s show includes free, unlimited parking. And, thanks to a donation from Gregg Orr Marine, everyone who stops by can enter their information for a chance to win a Havoc VJ Duck Boat valued at $12,000.

Show hours for this year’s Hot Springs Boat, Tackle and RV Show are 10 a.m.-8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, and Sunday from 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Admission price is $10 for adults while children 12 and under get in for free.
