You must be cold. A little hot coffee would do you good.”
–Elmer Kelton (Barbed Wire)
Get in this kitchen Pard, don’t yuh know it’s cold outside? Brrr, it goes right to my bones anymore. It don’t take much for the ol’ fence post to get a chill. Listen, Pard, and I know I’m right, I’m a long way from workin’ out in sub-zero weather. Nope, I’ll take all the warmth Texas has for me right now, and that ain’t much. Hope all is well at yur place. I’ll be gettin’ the coffee.
I heard somethin’ just the other day. The broadcaster said for the first time America had an openly non-binary contendin’. Yuh know, I had to go scratchin’ at my head. Bein’ the questionin’ guy that I am I went to the trusty phone and here is the definition I was given. “Non-binary or genderqueer is an umbrella term for gender identities that are neither male nor female–identities that are outside the gender binary. They may have a third gender, no gender, or a fluctuating gender identity. Pard, are yuh gettin’ this? In other words, that person is confused!
Now, if he does not consider himself a male, why does he perform as one? The Olympics, as other sports, is becomin’ a hot-bed for Satan’s schemes and political agendas. Yuh tell me how a person can float back and forth from one gender to another? Yuh tell me, how that person is gonna stand before God and give answer to what it has done with the life God gave them. Pard, I just don’t understand.
Well, I just shake my head over that one some more, but I do have somethin’ to tell yuh. The ol’ China virus finally got us. Not too bad except I want to sleep. Little cough, no sore throat or and little fever. I really don’t feel bad. Don’ yuh be worryin’. I didn’t mean for yuh to jump up and spill yur coffee; I thought yuh would take the news in a more sophisticated method. Don’t be a-frettin’. Here’s a rag, yuh don’t need to wipe it up with yur bandanna. Better be drinkin’ up and get those insides all warm for in a few minutes yu’ll be out in it. Brrr.
Yuh take care this week. Be sure an’ check yur cinch. Yuh don’t want to fall off in this cold weather an’ break somethin’.
Vaya con Dios.
