He had gathered dry wood before the rain started, managing to keep it fairly dry through the night…. He built a fire and made coffee while he tried to warm up.”
–Elmer Kelton (Other Men’s Horses)
Come on in, Pard. The kitchen is sanitized, simmonized, and certifiable free of pestilence and virus. Whew, this ol’ fence post hasn’t felt like doing much of anything recently. I wasn’t really sick in the manner of vomiting, or fever, or heavy coughing, just had no gumption to be doin’ anything. Didn’t feel like readin’, watching tv, sittin’ up; just wanted to sleep.
Hopefully I’m on the mend. Not sure if’n I have anything to say. Thanks to all of you who contacted me, that was sure a nice gesture. Made the ol’ boy think yuh felt sometime from yur heart. Hope to pull on my boots either today or tomorrow and get out.
Been prayin’ for yuh all. There’s a lot of the devil’s goin’ on right now, and that’s not only with the virus still lurkin’ ’round and doin’ its havoc. So you all be careful out there. Watch for obstacles on yur journey, read yur Bible, check yur guns, and when yuh mount up don’t forget to check to check yur cinch. My mind has been rattled some with this China virus, but I still know to do the basics.
Vaya con Dios.
