Larry--Giving up control of the computer to my nephew is better than the alternative of a wrestling match on my rug which is his favorite sport. As my father puts it I am his favorite toy. He tends to break his toys. He is far and away the better of the two of us in a wrestling match as he has inexhaustible energy and cannot be hurt. Your account is just as safe with me as it ever was. You did take some shall we say 'moderate' losses with a KTEL short but I expect that to be made up any day now. Druss

Vacationing in Arkansas--Day Two continued. Lee and I decide to get some flies tied for fishing and get some other gear ready. As we head into the house I spy an incredible looking animal. [This stuff is true] It is black with growths hanging from it and somewhat resembles a dog to about the same extent that the new movie Godzilla resembles a human being. "Lee, What the Hell is that?" "That's my dog, Druss." "It is a dog? Well I can kind of see a similarity from certain angles. I suppose I would have guessed dog eventually." Lee just shakes his head and says, "I know what you mean, I'd of kilt it a long time ago but the Wolf warned me not to. I hate that animal. Still I have found one use for it." With that he grabbed the creature by the scruff of the neck and carried him up to the house. Shortly after we began working on our fishing gear the Wolf shows up with some of her relatives. After introducing me to everyone she took her sister-in-laws two month old baby from her and hands her to Lee. "We are going to town to shop. Watch the baby." After the Wolf and the relatives leave, Lee smiles at me and says as he walks to the door. "We is in luck, Druss, the baby is a lot better door stop than the dog." With that he gently kicks the dog from its place by the door some twenty feet into the yard and replaces it with the baby. Lee is definitely right about the childs value as a door stop. The usual howling hordes of Arkansas blood sucking insects which had sensibly avoided biting the dog to nail us now no longer bother us at all and we can work in peace.
