Hi Don,

You're right, as always, and thanks to you good friend I can take a well deserved vacation and do some good research at the same time.

Here's a thought for everyone to ponder. When was the last time you saw a young couple in love? Their eyes locked as though in eternal gaze of one another? Actually its been quite a few years since I observed this kind of behavior and you gotta see it in order to write about it. The only down side to this is that people, unlike geysers don't emit steam at that moment. ROFL!!

Then I should ask a few if they did the "Red Meat Survey" when meeting their spouses. Yeah, its gonna be fun.

Anyway, so you won't go hungry while house sitting I'm gonna cook a turkey on Thanksgiving so you can pick at the bones, eat a plentiful amount of stuffing, gravy, biscuits and cranberry sauce. I guess I better stock up on a few pies also. How many do you need? I could make you some mini garlic and onion pies. How about that? I guess I had better get some Dos Equix beer too? Huh? At least while I'm in Mexico you could consume mass quantities of their favorite beverage.

Like they say, "all in a day." I started the day looking for Angels and ended with finding much humor in my old friend Don. Remember what I told you on the phone this evening and say it with a southern drawl, "God loves a workin' man."

Tomorrow I go to Ford for version #3 of the stereo unit and we'll see if their service man understands that women do not play CD's upside down. If not, one of two things may occur. This is quite predictable: A. He will be struck by lightning, or B. Ford's Corporate office will see if they wish to continue sales to women. My last CD installed in the unit is now firmly stuck in there. This ones a real looser!

Life is fun, you just gotta know how to find it.

Hey bud, keep up the good work, I'll be rootin' for Challis.

Petra
