fall just fell whith a whallop--i knew it was coming... because bud cut up a bunch of old fence rails into fire3wood.. (bud plans ahead... how strange !!)yet how nice... he is planning for the evening closure called mail call where we open the mail sit around the fire and try and screw our heads on straight------ mail call is a big deal....it is 5pm eastern time--- for teh crazy texans who often join us it must be pre cocktail hour--- i don't know why it got to be called mail call.... except by using that excuse to sit around , it saves having to prepare any script...mail call also defines a unit of time--- there will be an end to the questions and we will go about business of the real world. johnny carson employed 18 writers to prepre his nightly monolog..... not availing myself of that luxure.....i have to use available talent. i.e.. if you have an interewst quote from mark twain,, put it on a poo picker and send it... i will readi it to an. international crowd.... why so many people sit around to hear me read the contents of the utility bills, i do not know but they do....all donations go in the old mayonqse jar as do notes to linda..

sept 29 2021
a big time banker-- you know teh terribly tidy kind with polished shoes----once declared our mail/banking system to be as fine as he d observed anywhere....and is ofteen duplicated.... sort of....
mail lands on our table...to be seen on camera as teh camerra swings around..... generlly untouched except by ocasionally lachy----- and at 5pm the sound is turned on... all mail is brought forth-- and one by one.....held up in front of the cameras- either saved for linda or others people in the jar..while a note is made on the white board.... and held before te the camera... ---contents are read( UNLESS THE REQUEST IS NOT TO READ TEHM) -- MONEY/CHECKS GO IMMEDIATELY IN TH EJUG WHCH GOES TO LINDA AS SOON AS SHE IS AROUND...WHACK O aS IT SOUNDS.... YOU HAVE A VISUAL AND AUDIOTRACKING OR EVERY PIECE OF MAIL THaT COME S IN--- UNLESS IT SAYS DON'T READ THIS AT MAIL CALL-- WHICH IS SOMETIMES A PIECE OF INFORMATION SOMEONE DOES NOT WANT PUBLIC... WHICH I HONOr.. BUT ANNONCE IT'S arrival before stuffing it in lindas jar.
in the meantime--- all our donors have teh knowledge of every bill we pay---and if they want to they can keep track of donations--- altho i oten do not announce the actua l ammount.
every arrival gets entered in "the book" by hand--- because computerws screw up too often.. qnd that book gives us an absolute arrival... which shold agreee witheth video if needed.and then AGREE WITH THE BANK DEPOSITS...THERE ARE TIMES WHEN. "THE BOOK" HAS BEEN GOLDEN SOURCE OF CORRECT INFO...
THAT IS TEH ACCOUNTING END... BUT THE THINGS THESE CAMERA PEOPLE WRITE CAN BE DARN AMUSING... AND THOUGHT PROVOKING. SO WE HAVE FUN READING AND DISCUSSING SOME VERY STRANGE TOPICS... LIKE LATELY WHAT IS TEH DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NAVICUOAR LAMENESS AND FOUNDER... ( IN HORSES)
- TOPICS OF CONVERSATION GO ALL THE WAY BACK TO TEH PROBLEM OF TEH PINCHING TOILET SEAT--- IT IS VERY EDUCATIONAL AS THSE TPOPICS ARE ADDRESSED SERIOUSLY....
BOILS DOWN TO " YOU COULD NOT MAKE THIS STUFF UP...."
BUT YOU GOTTA LET IT HAPPEN.
ustabee--- and maybe it is still true. a cuppa coffee or a cigarette also defined a similar time limit... with much overtoning..... "come in for a cuppa coffee" meant-- you got17 minutes to see if you can talk me into a second cuppqa...."
------
anitta before i forget.. i owe you a bunch of money---
working on a trailer driver... i just can not do highways..
ANYBODY WANT TO DRIVE A TRAILER FROM NYSTTE LINE TO CRAZY ACRES-- I HAVE 3 WAGONS THERE TO CLAIM...
WHOOPS--- RUSHING....
