Oris George has a Book?
Guys, even the Coyote brothers are onto this one — slip on over to GET ORIS’s BOOK and, well, GET The BOOK! Some people just ain’t happy until they’ve got a book ready to send out to the masses, can be published and getting it all out there showin’ off what they done did. I’ve [...]
A boy, an’ his mule, an’ a book…
…. The debut of Mr. Oris George’s FIRST PUBLICATION. Well, okay, NOT his very first, but the first time his book has been available and it’s SO newly published that HE doesn’t even know yet (until he gets this email). In fact, it’s so new, that I forgot to tell everyone that this ebook is [...]
Ol’ Blue and Charlie
A Short Story by Oris George “Oris, for once in your life, will you sit down to eat your breakfast? For heaven’s sake, chew your food and drink your milk.” Mom was winding up for a nagging speech. (I couldn’t wait to get out of the house before she got started.) “Furthermore, you have no [...]
Coyote Moments – Oris is Killing Birds Again
Got an email announcing to the world that Oris hates birds, says I’m having a nightmare if I hear them squawking. Says the sun is shining brightly (he used an -ly word – he’s having a mind glitch) at his house this morning. If the coyotes are out, they’d best be checking on old Oris, [...]
The Different Colors of Pink
Some say pink is puooky! (my new word for today). Down the back roads of yesterday, men certainly didn’t wear the color. And I know that Charger is usually in the ‘pink of things’ when she’s clicking out her keys at some 120 wpm. My favorite color is the pink that paints the skies morning [...]
My wife said
My wife had some good advice for me last night. “Oris, tomorrow don’t get too busy to write. Keep the seat of your pants glued to the bottom of the chair in front of your computer. Someone said ‘your best ideas will come after you have sat down, not an idea in your head, and [...]
No writing today
Not much writing today. Need to find a place to store, file and hide some of this junk in the “boar’s nest” I call an office. I asked my good wife to help me file, etc. I told her I was buried under paper. I couldn’t find the keyboard this morning. It hid itself under [...]
Along the Back Roads – Here’s a Quarter!
If you ask locals who Oris is, they’ll tell you he’s the neighbor down the road with the mule attitude and the donkey disposition, but he’s got a heart of gold. But then you’d be wonderin’ where they got their ideas… Their ideas might have come from the time he lassoed the neighborhood bully and treated [...]

Jon L. Seagull
Dear Mr. George, It has come to my attention that your power pole is available for spring. I tried over at the Verhoeffs but there’s a waiting list. Mrs. Barn Builder had the nerve to offer me the stinky chicken coop! At least the roosters were gone. Rumor has it Melvin Coyote over at Mule [...]
