Albertans have been phoning us and telling us that you were not there, or was that you were not here? I believe they alluded to the plural you, (in Texas, you-all) as they said "all there". So we assumed that there was more than one of you.

The Elephant took a detour to eat some swamp grass in the Carolinas and got frozen in a tar pit. He may be delayed a bit. You shipment is on the way. BTW, do you have a waybill number?

We got some tapes from the Vienna Archives of a conversation between an artist in Austria and Miss Manners. Recording tape had just been invented so quality is a bit poor. It goes something like this,

Addie: So, correct me if I am wrong, Miss Manners, but we understand you are the arch authority on all proper appearances and you are telling us that morality is not really necessary as long as people do not know what it is that you haf done? Can this be so?

Miss Manners. You know it Addie, and let me tell you, I just love your art it is so je ne sais quoi, realistic? Well do tell, as long as the guests don't see it or smell it, a f**t of a burp won't hurt them. So ease them out addie and throw the stuff over the hedge. And Voila! You are the toast of the town and the very life of the party.

Addie: Did you hear that Hermann? We can do what we want in Vienna, as long as we don't get seen doing it. For pete's sake put down that infernal toy airplane and stop making those sounds, you would think you were air vice marshall Harris or something.
