Andy and I went down to Williston,
Florida to visit a couple of characters. This is horse country and these
boys were hock deep in horse training. They were sure hospitable as
indicated in the letter they sent after we left.
Dear Bax,
Flynt
and I can't tell you how much we enjoyed your visit. It was sure nice
of y'all to take the time to come visit, especially with that bad cold.
Even though both kids caught it from you, so far only one has gone into
pneumonia. Flynt thought it was sure great that you castrated all our
colts while you were here. Although neither one of us had ever seen
quite that much blood, at least we didn't have to wonder what happened
when we found eight of them dead the next morning. Flynt got real
excited once I explained to him how much money we were saving by only
having to feed two head instead of ten. Not only that, but the two that
survived sure look like money makers once we get them over the tetanus.
Me
an' Flynt can't thank you guys enough for letting us pick up every one
of the bills down at the cafe. It never occurred to us to order steak
for every meal. Thanks for the tip.
Remember
when we were sitting in that bank president's office and you were
telling how all the smart bankers out west were calling in their
unstable cow notes? Well sir, you won't believe this but that banker
thought that was such a good idea that he's doing the exact same thing
here. By not having any cows to feed or interest to pay there's no
telling how much money we'll save this year.
And
Baxter, I don't want you worrying about backing into the carport and
knocking it down. In the first place, it's hard to stop any type of
vehicle going 55 mph in reverse and secondly, as you remember, Beverly
only had that one big gash over her eye when we lifted the roof off her.
