Hope the BROWNIES have arrived. If not, ask at the office!

SW Bell was here at seven thirty and found some problems so they reported
them to the Internet company so that they could write up a trouble ticket
and send it back to them to fix. REALLY!

Painters were here by eleven, and the house is finished only nine months
after we built it!

I had them touch up your room and paint over all those posters.

They removed Marcie's footprints from the wall, but wouldn't take them off
the ceiling. NO MORE HYPER FRIENDS!

You don't get TV there do you? There was a nice story about me shooting at
the Mailman today because he refuses to deliver the many letters that you
have written me. I didn't actually shoot to hurt him, but wrote your name
in the back of the truck with my assault rifle so he would remember whose
mail to look for.

I've run out of cards to send, and think it's too late to buy more. I'm
ashamed that I only send you ten or so. I know that I will be getting
dozens from you. Probably all at once next week. Lousy mail service.

It's kinda hard writing you every day since I don't have anything to reply
to. I think if you were there another week I'd have to start making things
up.

Oh, as I was cleaning my rifle, I heard a big THUD and went out and a 747
had set down in our driveway thinking it was runway 10 at DFW. I'm going
to have to paint a "KEEP OFF" sign on it.

I was able to turn him around with the Hummvee, and he took off okay. A
couple of the passengers decided to stay though, and I called them a cab.
One was Yasar Arafat, and we talked peace in the Middle East while waiting
for the taxi, and I think I have him back on track. The other was a kid
named Harry Potter. Kind of a weirdo. Didn't wait for the taxi, just
disappeared.

The people down at the end of the block are having a little party tonight
for Tarrant County. They couldn't get real bands to play, so they got
alternative.

"Blurred," and "EyePutOutWithSharpStick" are two of the bands, No Doubt
there will be others. One band couldn't make it because they were out
fighting foo. Oh, the "WaterFlyingMammals" will be there, too.

So there's the daily report. Sure hope you are getting these. Wish more
was happening, but you know how boring Ft. Worth is.

Love you!
Miss You!
