To All: The lovely Sherry or as we know her Foxxy, is on vacation. She is in the Caribbean. Fortunately she took a lap top with her and has sent me a few E-mails. I thought I would share them with everyone. Dear Druss I just got here this morning. It is lovely and of course very tropical, but I have to admit to some culture shock. To begin with a group of young beggars pestered me as soon as I went outside my hotel. It should have been obvious with what I was wearing I didn't have any money with me. They were really pretty rude and it was upsetting to me but I decided not to let a little thing like this disturb my vacation. Much more disturbing was they don't have T-bird wine here. I couldn't believe it. The hotel brochuer said the bar was fully stocked. After I finished off my traveling supplies I went down to the bar and they didn't have a drop. Fortunately they did have rum and I decided to try that. It really doesn't have that bad of a taste and I think it has a stronger kick than T-bird in its own way. So I figured when in Rome and all that and took a few bottles up to my room. I think that stronger kick of the rum may have caused a little accident though. You see the bartender gave me a whole handful of change and his hands were just filthy. I hated to take the money. When I got back to the room I thought I would clean it. I guess I should have just poured rum on it but I didn't want to waste any and I was afraid it would do like T-bird and eat the metal. So I got a candle and a metal cup that came in the room and put the coins in the cup with the lit candle underneath. Then I settled back to have a bottle or two of rum. While I was working my way through the second bottle I went out to my room balcony and someone yelled "Hey cheap Lady, you want to give us some money now?" It was that group of beggar kids. I thought to myself maybe if I give them some money they will be nicer to me the next time they see me. So I went back in the room. I swear it was the rum, Druss, I just walked into the room and saw the cup and didn't even think. I just picked it up, walked to the balcony and tossed the coins out on to the kids. I have felt so bad about it. I am afraid the only ones that didn't burn their little hands were the ones that had coins fall inside their clothes when I tossed them down. Their squawling woke up everyone who was taking an afternoon nap in the hotel, so I am off to a bad start with the other people staying in the hotel besides. It has been a rough day. That is my story and I am sticking with it. Love and Kisses XXXXX Sherry (Foxxy)

To All: I sharing another E-mail from the lovely Foxxy. Dear Druss Thank you for replying so fast to my e-mail and the stuff you relayed on to me. I know you meant well but I have to say it bothered me quite a bit when you said that I handled those beggar kids the same way you would have. It was an accident honestly! Thank you too for sending that post of Lee's on to me. Is he serious? I mean I never dreamed he could be so sexy. Seven hundred pounds, WOW! I thought the sumo wrestlers were good but when I read the part about the bib overalls I thought I would just swoon! My heavens for a good Southern girl he is pure sex appeal. I think of him standing there in those overalls with a toothpick or a piece of straw in his mouth and a beer in his hand and it is just too much. This is pure Southern hunk we are talking about here. We Southern Belles just love a man who jiggles all over when he moves. I read that and I am thinking I may just need to change my travel plans. Druss, you have got to tell me, you have seen Lee. Is this for real or is he just bragging? I really want to know! Love and Kisses XXXXX Sherry Oh, and by the way, that stuff about his wife, the Wolf, hunting bears and razorbacks with a knife, that isn't true is it? Dear Sherry I have to be honest. When I saw Lee he was pretty trim. He had some pictures that showed him in pure bib overall glory but it depends on the time of year. I was there in the spring and the Wolf is a conservationist at heart, she likes to give her prey a chance to raise its young in the spring months. But she does like to keep in shape and enjoy the spirit of the chase. So she uses Lee. Lee thins down in a powerful hurry I guess. <<that stuff about his wife, the Wolf, hunting bears and razorbacks with a knife, that isn't true is it?>> That stuff isn't true at all, she doesn't use a knife.

To All: More from Sherry Dear Druss Thank you for replying. I wasn't able to reschedule my flight so I could see Lee. Just as well I guess, he would be so tempting and his wife sounds kind of assertive. I have been trying a drink here they call Mesqal. It is really good, they make it out of cactus thorns. The only thing is they stick a worm in it that you are supposed to eat. I just can't imagine what they foreigners are thinking. It is just so disgusting, but I guess they really do eat those things though I am beginning to wonder now. I saved the ones from the bottles I drank and I had 30 or 40 of them and I thought I would give them to some of the locals here. So when I went down to the bar I just slipped one into everyone theres glass as a surprise. And I thought Yankees were bad, the way they carried on. I will never understand these people. If they are going to stick the damned worms in good liquor so they can eat them, why do they get upset when they have an opportunity to? I hated to be wasteful but I just threw them out. I couldn't even feed them to the iguanas. That is some of the really good news. This place has iguanas every where. There is a huge one living in some brush and trees close to my balcony. He is so cute. He looks like an alligator he is so big but is very harmless and really friendly. I tried feeding him some of those worms but he wouldn't eat them either. One of the maids at the hotel said they eat fruit so I gave him some bananas and papaya. He loved them. I named him Iguanasaur and now I always look for him when I go out and toss him a piece of fruit. Love and Kisses XXXXX Sherry

To All: Another letter from the lovely Sherry. Dear Druss I have having a wonderful time here. It is really fun despite the place just crawling with foreigners. Igaunasaur and I have become real buddies. Whenever he sees me he comes running up for a piece a fruit. I have been carrying a banana just for him. He looks so fierce and big but is really gentle. He can surprise you though if you aren't ready for him. I am afraid he really scared an English girl who was walking with me. We were just chatting and going up to our rooms when Iguanasaur spotted me and came running out of the bushes to me. He terrified that poor girl. She calmed down after I explained. She was as she put it "frightfully embarrassed" by the incident though. Fortunately she was wearing her swim suit though so people we met thought she had been wading. See you soon. Love and Kisses XXXXX Sherry

To All: Another letter from Sherry Dear Druss I had a rough time last night. The hotel had a BBQ on the beach last night. A lot of the food was really good, but I was trying everything they had and I ran into a food that tasted like chicken but there weren't any bones, at least where you would find them in a chicken. So I asked the guy running the BBQ what it was and he said it was iguana. I got a funny feeling about that but then he started telling me about this giant iguana he had caught near the hotel and I just felt sick. It was Iguanasaur. I sat down and just felt so awful, these foreigners, they eat anything and they had killed a wonderful lizard. I felt a little better when I thought about it some because I knew I had nothing to do with his being killed and I didn't know it was Igaunasaur when I started eating him. I guess it was kind of inevitable, I mean anything that only eats fruit and leaves and won't even eat a dead worm has got to know it is pretty far down on the food chain, and with these foreigners running around he had to know it was coming. I realized then that since it was inevitable that Iguanasaur would probably prefer that a friend was eating him and not one of these foreign lizard killers. So I polished him off.
