The P.I.  Most folks give me a puzzled look when I mention the
P.I., but that is all I've ever called it. It really stands for
the Parshall Inn, but no one ever says Parshall Inn except the
owners when they answer the phone. They say "T.J's Parshall
Inn." The "T" and the "J" are the initials of the owners - Toby
and Jerry. I guess you could describe it as a local bar. It
happens to be the only bar within 10 miles, and its not local to
very much. The town where it's located, Parshall, has a
population of 48, although folks argue about that.  When you
enter the P.I. the first thing you notice is the sound of a bell
ringing. It sounds like a goat bell if you've ever heard one.
This bell is on the screen door and announces your arrival and
exit. When it rings, everyone in the bar who is not too drunk
(and some who are) looks around to see who is coming or leaving.
Like most bars the patrons have their backs to the door, so when
you enter, the first thing you see is lots of folks turning
around to look at you. Thi
