Just talked to closest neighbor and good buddy. He and his wife will  
go down and winterize the house, as I have decided to not go back for  
the vote but have instead faxed a request for absentee ballot,  
confirmed it was received, and my ballot is in the mail.

Jeff and I have looked out for each other for years.

I have had only one theft. The thief was a man I tried to help. He  
turned out to be a common crook. He stole most of my tools. He died  
and I shed not one tear.
