The commercial real estate appraiser has gone missing, which is nothing if not distressing.Yes, we have a note that says he's in Florida, but it's an internet note. If you think that's reliable then I have a friend in Burkina Faso who would like to use your bank account to transfer the million dollar fortune of the widow of the prime minister. You will receive a generous commission, of course. Trust me, it is all on the up and up. It's how Mrs. Charles earned her fortune, such fortune being by far her most endearing feature.
But back to the mystery of Gummby... There has been a suspicious dearth of blogging by someone who was formerly known as a prolific writer. We must ask... when did the desertification of Still Reforming first begin? And we must answer...
- when Daniel-at-DoulogosTM (All rights reserved, Government of Manitoba) was elevated to SidekickTM (All rights reserved, Kingdom Bound Books) status;
- when the PotatoFest started;
- when the Edmonton Oilers took to the ice again;
- when Ray finally finished his most excellent series on the Tabernacle;
- when centuri0n went fishing;
- when Carla acquired her beagle;
- when Jeremy went 193 days without posting;
- when Charles Sebold Norrisized James White
- when Jeremy's Dad realized that he has a little bit of a self-control problem when it comes to Old Chevys; and
- when Gummby himself claimed to have changed jobs, and then started posting pictures of dead animals
Nay, this is all a little too dark to be explained by a fictional trip to Florida. Gummby has either absconded, or has been absconded himself. But be of good cheer. Nick and Nora Charles are on the job. Well I am anyways. Mrs. Charles has never worked a day in her life.

193 days? Wow, that's nearly (counting on fingers and toes) x weeks and y months! (Where x=193/7 and y=193/365*12)
There has been a suspicious dearth of blogging by someone who was formerly known as a prolific writer.
In my own defense, I'm pretty sure Phil was joking about me being prolific, particularly when you look at the post he links to there. On the other hand, I hope he was serious about the loyal part.
Thanks for the vote of confidence, Nick. Hope you find your "Thin Man."
Where's Asta?
um... was all of that code-speak for "I want a beagle puppy"?
:o)
I am pretty sure that only people with a first name of "Charles" can be in charge.
And I will take no credit or blame for scaring Gummby out of the blogosphere with my "Little Known Facts" post. To be honest, after I wrote that, he nearly scared me out of it.
Bah! That was just "iron sharpening iron."
