Election Day: 1999-11-02
Dear [Lynn],
You have such a kindly disposition about yourself. A lady of compassion you seem to be. Mom always said that if a person treats animals well, that they’d probably be good to humans also. So far, so true. 
You take the dog to work with you? Does he just walk along side while you‘re digging, planing, and mulching? Does he ever ride in the back of your truck? Or, is he small enough to ride in the cab? Reminds me of that “Smokey and the Bandit” movie, where the star truck driver (Jerry Reed) always had his dog Fred with him on his road trips.
Yes, I will call you after you return home from singing – about 9:15.
Now why are you so bent on drawing me into a debate on this women’s equality thing? I already said I agree with you. Are you wanting me to play devil’s advocate? Hmmmm?
I voted this afternoon around 3:00, while the skies were becoming a murky gray and rain had just begun pelting the windows. Now, it’s growing windy with a dramatic temperature drop forecasted for later tonight, from the 60s into the upper 30s. Yuck !
Warm knees? I’ve never heard of someone liking warm knees. At least, not per se’. Often folks talk of their hands or feet or noses being warm or cold. But knees? I guess that comes from your occupation, where you’re probably kneeling while planting quite a bit.
Glad you had a rewardingly productive work day today. All was well here. Nothing strange or exceptionally good or bad to report.
Later.
Tom Hesley
