Bummer! No mail today! That broke your streak of ONE IN A ROW! Oh well,
maybe next year.

BROWNIES AWAY!!! Sent your last CARE package via Priority Mail this
morning, as well as something from Rexy, and a card by "snail mail."

Bad news. Looks like we have lost Rexy as a pet. He and the army are
great for each other, and he has decided to become a "Lifer." (That means
stay in for life.)

It's just as well since eating all those Aliens has really made him grow.
He's now almost forty feet long and weighs more that me! Actually, more
than me and the car, and the garage. Aliens are chocked full of vitamins
and nutrients, I guess.

He'll probably be going to those countries with over a billion population
next to thin them out a bit. That's good too, because you know how he likes
Chinese food and curries!

Heat wave continues. I saw some Fire Ants on fire! They had the cutest
little fire truck. I picked it up for a closer look and got bitten twice.
Just for that, I put it back down upside down. Only took about three
seconds for them to turn it back over.

Evolution seems to be at work on the weeds in the back. The heat made them
clump together and become one plant. Don't be surprised to come home and
see a three hundred foot high weed!

Have to close now. Governor Bush is calling for help on his Presidential
bid. I talked to Gore yesterday, but fell asleep.

Love you and miss you!
