Dear Hildie:

 

Yes, yes, I should eat more fruit—like a fruit bat. I really dislike bats, you know: Nothing about vampires or any of that—It’s just that they carry rabies and if one bit you it might fly away and you’d never know whether it was infected or not. I admit it’s unlikely, but I don’t like the idea of rabies one bit. Seeing the entire U.S. Congress infected by it has turned me off.  BTW, I see the two gubernatorial candidates have had another name-calling session.  You know what I miss? They’re so deadly serious: Huey and Earl would’ve made it funny. Louisiana politics has lost all its entertainment value. Edwin was the last one who could turn a humorous phrase.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

M
