Balladeer-Hello folks,It is a nice warm sunny summer day in Hazzard County,with a lot of people drinking beer,water and lemonade at the Boars Nest and Boss Hogg had some special plans for the Boars Nest for the near future

Boss Hogg-Daisy,can I see you in my office for a minute

Daisy-Sure Boss,I will be there in one second

Boss Hogg-Take your time Daisy

Balladeer-So Daisy walks into Boss Hogg's office at the Boars Nest

Boss Hogg-Have a seat Daisy

Daisy(as she sits down)-What do you want to see me about Boss,did I do something wrong

Boss Hogg-Oh no you did not do anything wrong,I just want to let you know that I am giving you some vaction time

Daisy-Boy,I sure can use a vacation,how much vacation time are you giving me

Boss Hogg-I am giving you 3 months vacation

Daisy-Are you out of your mind,just tell me why are you giving me vacation time

Boss Hogg-All right,I have finally decided to renovate the Boars Nest

Daisy-Really,after all these years that I worked here,you finally decide to renovate it

Boss Hogg-There will be a lot of changes around here,like a new CD jukebox and a Plasma TV set,and an outdoor patio and a gift shop,do you have any ideas that you would like me to add

Daisy-Come to think of it I notice a lot of business people from Capitol City come here with their laptops on their lunch hour,maybe we can possibly set up a wireless internet spot,also make the bathrooms handicapped accessible

Boss Hogg-I was thinking the very same thing,also when we reopen,we are going to use uniforms

Daisy-What kind of uniforms,I am fine the way I am when I come to work

Boss Hogg-You will now be required to wear a polo shirt and jeans

Daisy-Are you getting polo shirts with Boars Nest embroidered on it

Boss Hogg-Yes I am,I happen to have a friend in Capitol City that does a good job on shirts,they are on order as we speak,I happen to have a shirt right here(he gives Daisy the shirt)take it Daisy,it just happens to be your size

Daisy-Thanks Boss,Is there anything I can do while the Boars Nest is being renovated

Boss Hogg-Yes,I want you to help me hire some people like a couple of extra waitresses,couple of bartenders and a couple of people to run the gift shop,I already put ads in The Hazzard Gazzette and the paper in Capitol City,we will use a trailer as a temporary office that will be in the parking lot during the renovation

Daisy-Have you found an architect and a builder to do the renovation

Boss Hogg-I met with an architect yesterday,he should have the plans by this afternoon,and he recommended a good builder

Daisy-Do you want me to pick up the plans for you Boss

Boss Hogg-That would be very nice Daisy,why don't you go do that(he gives Daisy his keys)take my Cadillac and put some gas in it while you are out

Daisy-All right Boss(she opens the door)Can I help you sir
