It is a nice clock. It has wheels in it and the hands go ‘round sometimes. It is not a large clock, but you can see it if you get close enough and are not blind. It used to do business at Milt Lauer’s livery stable until one day it had an affair of honor with a yearling cayuse. The cayuse is still well and happy, but the clock’s face hurts it. Milt said he would donate the clock to the town hall if somebody would hang it up. Some did, last Thanksgiving day, and now there is nothing more to do but for the council to pass a resolution of thanks.
