BILL from WNNCO - is a very loyal correspondent who not only sends me fascinating stuff to look at and chuckle over, but also personal emails that enable us to carry on many good discussions. Bill has been interested in the Hillary campaign and all the controversy that goes with it. He thinks there should someday be a woman president and that maybe Hillary is the one. I don't know if he means it or not.
Meanwhile, he's suggesting tongue-in-cheek, that she ought to appoint Bill Clinton her running mate and then resign so that he can rule another 4 years. Sounds like a good idea for a conspiracy theory.
GIGI - has a plaque on display which says this: Bidden or unbidden, God is present." I've often read the plaque and contemplated its messages, thinking there are several ways to look at it. (Really!) Then I put that thought together with Bill's idea of a Clinton-Clinton ticket for president and vice president and it occurs to me this way: Bidden or unbidden, Bill Clinton is there. If she comes into the White House, he comes with her one way or another.
Now, I'm NOT confusing Bill Clinton and God, though there are politicians, goddamn them, who think their particular concept of God ought to govern us all. But I think now, it's Hillary's downfall that Bill is always there.

BILL FROM WNNCO - also sent this picture of a supposed sunset and moonrise occurring simultaneously in the north polar region. Now we wonder whether this is a trick pic or if this is really possible. In any event, the picture itself is beautiful and we WANT it to be true.

THAT WEATHER IN MICHIGAN -
SPARTY informs me that February is the worst on record in mid MIchigan. The whole winter is now the 6th or 7th worst, and there is lots of winter left to go. Sparty also reports he has been out cross country skiing and that we can say this for the winter: It's beautiful.
DASHMANN - calls to say that he is "sick of this sh.." which surprised me because he don't swear too often.
ALICE - flew home from Florida in the teeth of an ice storm in Michigan which had made the roads horrible on top of all that snow they had, but the ice was melting by the time she got on to the roads in Flint.
MARILYN - is regretting the decision they made not to take a February vacation.
SOMEONE - i think it was a neighbor SOVA,- has cleaned the snow from our driveway back home under the Birches. Thank you, thank you. I think this deserves a beer, at least.
IRISH MIKE - we understand has been taking care of not only his driveway and so on, but also someone else's. Another hero.

A WEST VIRGINIAN - I ran into one at the pool and he remarked on my MICHIGAN shirt. Then he said, "I don't really think I should talk to you. You stole our coach!" He was smiling and friendly, but you could tell --- they hate us for this!
