Dear Hildie:

 

I loved Michael Gerson’s anguished lament in his column this morning: “All we can do is either sit out the election or vote for Hillary, because both Hillary and Trump would destroy the same things, except Trump would also destroy the Republican party.” Of course, Gerson is one of those evangelistic neocoms who helped get us stuck in Iraq.  Plus he wears funny little glasses. Suffer!

 

Enough now. Take care.

 

 

Love,

Dear Hildie:

 

Happy St. Pat’s Day! I understand that under President Trump, it will be the biggest, greatest holiday there ever was. Trust me! And the green will be real green—Believe me when I say that. And I will bring the Blarney Stone to the US and Ireland will pay for it!

 

Looks like I was really off base with Rubio. He folded like an accordion. And Christie showed his stripes. I expect Jindal to suddenly tunnel from Rubio’s to the Trump’s camp.

 

Just completed two proposals. Agggh. And in the middle of figure crunching I get a call from the school to go pick up Maddie, who’s sick, because they can’t get ahold of Summer or Shawn.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

M

Dear Hildie:

 

I enclose one of the two envelopes I got from  you yesterday—You may be able to reuse the stamp since the dodos at the PO didn’t cancel it! No wonder they have a deficit.

Just jumped out of my skin—Cell phone gave an emergency warning like on TV and when I looked—No, it wasn’t a nuclear attack—It was that I-10 was closed in both directions at the LA/TX border. Hell, they said that on the news last night!

 

Take care.

Love,

Dear Hildie:

 

Yes, yes, pinch collars for the dogs, for all the good it does with Squirrel. By the way, he puked in four places inside yesterday. One was in my place on the bed (on clean sheets, of course).

 

Speaking of puking, have you seen the Cruz ad featuring Phil Robertson, the “Duck Commander?” God, if I’d never heard of Cruz this would scare me away from him—This painted, wild-bearded hillbilly squinting into the camera with beady little black eyes and saying you should vote for Cruz because he’s “Godly.” Does a lot for our image as a state.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

M

Dear Hildie:

 

Thanks for the card.  Had a good day in the field yesterday trying to find a grave site, which was tough since the amateur who took the location pictures didn’t bother to say what direction he was facing when he took the photo.  But the landowner came up and helped. Last day of February and it was as hot as May!

 

I shall restore myself by listening to Irish music over the computer.

 

Take care.

 

Love,

M
