Traveling with PugsleyTonks

What is Traveling with PugsleyTonks all about?? My goal is the pursuit of that little slice of Americana. It's not big name or high-cost tourism. PugsleyTonks likes to find that diamond in the rough or go to the out of the way small town. I want to visit the oldest bar in every state with hopes that they serve some PBR on tap. Find that unique "ma-pa" restaurant with an interesting blue collar atmosphere and large portions to match. Or, perhaps its as simple as a little walkabout in the city to discover that strange little statue or other oddities. So, please come and join me in my search for Americana. Discover some obscure attraction or learn some useless information. All are welcome and its really just good, clean travel fun. PT

Early Voting is Underway

Introduction of the “Quick Hitter”

Probably because I have too much time on my hands…I am introducing a new blog post category. This new blog category will be known as a “Quick Hitter.” A Quick Hitter is something interesting and light hearted that I ran across in my travels. However, a Quick Hitter will be a much shorter than a normal post. Quick Hitters will occur randomly whenever I think to write one. So, for my inaugural Quick Hitter, let me remind you that Early Voting is Underway…

Thank You Mayor Wilbur

If you are an regular reader of this blog, you know of my love for the magical town of Rabbit Hash, Kentucky. Rabbit Hash has many redeeming qualities. But, its claim to fame is its mayoral election process. To ensure credibility of candidates, all humans are excluded. Furthermore, to be a lawful mayoral candidate, you must live within walking distance of the Rabbit Hash General Store…and you must be a dog.

Sadly, current incumbent, Mayor Wilbur, decided not to run for reelection. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mayor Wilbur for his hard work and leadership these past 4 years. But, the world rolls on. Early election for the November 2024 election is underway. My daughter, Liz the Chow, and I made the road trip to Rabbit Hash recently in order to participate in the pure democratic process that is the Rabbit Hash Mayoral Election.

Vote Early, Vote Often

To keep the election process in Rabbit Hash transparent, they have legitimized all of the traditionally questionable election practices. Anyone from anywhere can vote. Graft and corruption are encouraged. Furthermore, you can vote as often as you like. In order to vote, you only need to pay a dollar. One dollar equals one vote. Vote (pay) as much as you want. Stuffing the ballot boxes full of money is the entire point of the election…

As it may be difficult to see from the mayoral candidates from the picture, they are (from left to right)…Pablo (Golden Retriever), Maggie (Black Lab), Rosco (Basset Hound), Geoffrey (German Shepard), Opie (unknown), and Boone (Blue tick Coon Hound). Liz seemed to think the qualifications and floppy ears of Roscoe made him the candidate worth supporting. However, as there were no frenchies or pugs, I defaulted to another personal favorite, the coon hound. Be that as it may, the early results seem to be supporting an obvious favorite…

The early results seem to be establishing Pablo as the front runner. I have not met Pablo before, but I have met the current incumbent, Wilbur. Wilbur set a very high bar for mayoral excellence that I hope Pablo will be able to live up to. For the record, all proceeds from the election go to charity. Campaign funds going to charity??…rather than spending on annoying TV ads. The Mayoral Election in Rabbit Hash is the gold standard for the political election process. Have a wonderful day. PT

    Sorry to hear Wilbur is not running. Even though I am a hunter and admire the strength and determination of the Blue Tick Coon Hound, I think the calm, down to earth (ears dragging the ground), steady determination of the Basset Hound is the best choice. I’m with Liz, vote Roscoe!
