It looks like Danny Hillcrest is in over his head this time!

It's the beginning of another April in Middling Fair. As you may know, the fourth month of the year is traditionally a time of chaos in town. And this year appears to be no exception. Even the Narrator is having issues! But it is Danny Hillcrest that seems to be serving as the lightning rod for disaster this time around. His attempts at selling his holiday rom com script to Hollywood have been less than successful. While that's unfortunate, it's not enough to cause a panic. And yet, Danny is jumpy. Scratch that. Danny is EXTRA jumpy. But why?

Lending their voices in this episode are Bonnie Kenderdine as Cindy; Nathan Alvord as the maître 'd; and Gary J. Chambers (garyjchambersvo.com) as the Narrator.

Transportation troubles.

Our regular cast of characters are all still busy working on this year's big, multi-part story. Even Danny Hillcrest is unavailable. Although rumor has it Danny will be back very soon with some info on Summer movie. Until then, we're once again daring to step inside Clinton's mind to find out what's bouncing around in there. Listen and be amazed.

This time, it seems that Clinton finds himself confused by everything that has to do with transportation. And we do mean everything.

First, he completely misunderstands the wording in a seemingly harmless TV commercial. The request the ad makes sounds reasonable enough -- to most folks. But it soon lands our host in a lot of trouble with the law. To make matters even worse, while Clinton is trying to deal with that problem, he gets some shocking news. Someone has gone and changed the name of a beloved transportation icon. What? Why? Clinton has to find out. All this is enough to make his mind begin to question everthing that has to do with our highways and byways. He even begins to question the wisdom of the markings that guide us along our way.

You may never look at roads the same way again.

Clinton takes a look at numbers.

We all use letters and numbers ever day and never stop to think about them. But that doesn't stop Clinton's brain from looking at them sideways. In this episode he questions everything about every single number after 13. It could leave you wondering about digits, too.

Of course, that logically leads him to questions about every single letter in the alphabet. Truly life-changing stuff here.

He also brings up an odd news story about humpback whales and somehow ties that in with his discussion of letters and numbers. Blame this whole digit dilemma on his odd brain.

Heading down underground.

For the first time in months, Cindy decides to visit The Tunnels. But she is still hesitant to make the trip. With all the spheres gone, the space is now without power or water and sits all but abandoned. What will she find in the labyrinth of corridors and chambers? Before she can answer that question though, she has to deal with Danny Hillcrest. It seems the would-be screenwriter is still trying to sell a rom-com script to the streaming services – with little success. He describes a re-write that he hopes will be a winner.

Lending their voice in this episode is Bonnie Kenderdine as Cindy.

From Sphere to Eternity

In the final chapter of our musical story, Brax Higgins has activated the mysterious Waffle Batter sphere. As a result, all the other spheres from The Tunnels have surrounded him, forming an impressive, whirling wall of light. It seems he may now have  unlimited power. Buzz "Scoop" Crackerjack Thomas tries to find out what the disgraced former Little Wicker Baskets executive plans to do. And Mayor Rory, along with a rather disgruntled mob, have arrived at One Pasta Place. It seems that The Tunnels are the source of all the water and power drains in town.

Get That Waffle!

Fortunately, Detective Haartte, General Kalamity, the Magenta Fedoras and the rest of the gang are on the case. But can they locate the two prison escapees in time? Can Cindy get in touch with Romeo Sykes and learn how the sphere works? So many questions. And time is running out!

A Passage To Placeholder

With Kipper and Mulligan now on the bus, and Old Porcupine in tow, Princess reaches the bottom of the road leading into Chasm Valley. That means it's time for Cindy to try to maneuver the vehicle through the unluckiest town in the tri-state area, Grassssssside Greene. But that's not the only problem. If the converted 1976 Tiara Megacoach tri-axle school bus makes it out of the danger zone, they still have to deal with Captain Broughha and the Magenta Fedoras and stop Higgins and Bad Note Billy!
