TRUE ???? #36

Wayland came in this morning carrying an armload of books and papers. I had not realized until then that Venus City Police Department requires homework of their officers. Wayland was mumbling something about "Matt Dillon never had to do homework." I had seen Dillon poring over Wanted Posters, but that is basically just looking at the pictures. I couldn't even swear that Matt Dillon could read and write. I can, however, swear that Wayland can read AND write, as I saw him, with my own eyes, doing both this morning. He would read awhile, then write awhile. He was copying something off of a printed piece of paper, and I suggested that he could save a lot of reading and writing if he'd just put the paper into Carols printer and make a copy. He said he had to keep his hand in with journals, because he moonlights with Merriam Websters writing the series of books: Merriam Websters Eleventh Edition: Aardvarks to Zygotene:How To Catch One, And How To Understand The Other.(the stage of meioticprophase which immediately follows the leptotene and during which synapsis of homologous chromosomes occurs.) I can see where that knowledge would be tremendously useful.


Ya'll probably know that Chester and Sally are in Lower South Cabo San Lucas, where they maintain another residence just in case it were to ever get hot in Texas, however remote that possibility may be. You may not know that Chester plays golf. Sally seems to have better sense, and spends her time up there trying to educate Hells Angels on how to ride a motorcycle. Chester had a golfing accident on the way to the golf course. He had dressed in the required checked short pants and pullover checked sweater, told his caddy which bag of clubs was his, since he can't lift them anymore, and headed for the links,(not to be confused with a link on a computer where you get from here to there really quickly.) On the way to the first hole, Chester stumbled over a golf tee and fell on his wrist, spraining it badly enough that he could not play golf, but not so bad that his golf buddy's had to miss 18 holes of golf just to take Chester to the emergency room. It was decided that if he (Chester) stayed on the golf cart in the shade of the canopy, drank a Texas tea glass of Chivas Regal, and only used one arm to drive the cart, the group could finish 18 holes of golf, and have a drink in the clubhouse before having to drive him to the hospital. Ya'll be sure to ask Chester how that worked out when you see him. (They DO NOT give drunk driving tickets in South Cabo San Lucas if you MUST drive the cart around the links to see that EVERYONE's clubs get to each hole when the golfer does.)


Darlene's niece Barbara was about to set a bad precedent by meeting the waitress (Pat) halfway to the coffee machine. When Jim said he would hit her on the knee with his crutch if we would bring her to him, Barbara decided that she would rather not limp like the rest of us, so she turned around and made Pat come to her.
