Actually written on 6/23/06: Letters and notes to one of my son's.

Your Si-ness,

(1845) 2nd night at Stoney Fork Campground in the Jefferson National Forest.
(Distant thunder).

(2005) While sittin' in my car because of a thunder storm, 4 deer crossed my path; one at a time. The 3rd one stopped and looked at me for at least a full minute! I stuck my head out and said hello, then started talking to him/her like I do with my dogs. Inviting him/her to come to me but to no avail!

(2030) Did you no that on most days I have to look @ my cell phone to see what the date is? I always have to stop and think even what day of the week it is!
(2050) A cop just drove by and I waved at him__scared shitless that I would be suspect. I am suspect! Sittin' here in the car to avoid the rain, gettin' drunk on cheap beer: if he stopped, I would be caught more or less.
(2055) Looks like it's stopped raining for now. So, I'm gonna go build a fire. Covered up the wood that I found around B4 the rain.
