Hey, hey, cousin Fount, Good to see you back with us! What's with this "ole sick Cousin Fount." Say it's not true. I sure hope it's not. Yes, it's a madhouse and tomorrow it'll be over and all the newscasters and commentators will fold their tents and leave NH behind. They are lucky this week that it's unseasonably warm and they aren't freezing their little feet standing outside breathing steam and trying to interview some person who only wants to do some shopping. Can you believe there are 50 people on the ballot! Yes! And of course most of them nobody's ever heard of except maybe Mom and the Mrs. We went down to the main street of Manchester NH (Pop. about 110 thousand, largest city in NH) because our daughter said we should see the circus. Big mistake! Everybody else was down there, too, including all the TV trucks. There are a lot of unknown fringe characters running for president,as I said, and one guy who apparently had decided to be on the ballot was wearing an upside-down- rubber boot on his head and wearing feathered, yellow chaps on his legs...he had a few folks, also wearing the upside-down overshoes on their heads, parading with his signs ("Vote for Vermin Supreme"..yes, his real name) and had a recording of the "chicken dance" playing. It was pretty strange. This is the time that besides the official candidates, a lot of odd folk come out of the woods or down from the mountains and from out of state and proclaim their candidacy...it sure keeps things lively. On Wednesday, we'll all go back to normal, winter will come back, the streets won't be so crowded, our mailboxes won't be so full and the phone will stop ringing with pollsters wanting to pick our brains. Fount, don't be a stranger now!

Cousin Marilyn, I can imagine all the commotion!! Where do some of these strange birds come from? During the Memphis in May BBQ, these strange people wearing stovepipe hats and such would show up and after the contest was over, they would disappear, never to be seen again until the next BBQ contest! Cousin Marilyn, I been too sick to have happy hour and you and John D know I have gone years without missing my CC and Diet Dew!!
