Dear Beloved Sir!

I am an African Prince with a degree in soil science. I have an offer for you only! It is medicinal dirt. It is the finest that can be found anywhere. Doctors all agree it is the final cure for all modern diseases. Western drugs cannot achieve the level of this medical dirt, harvested from ancient bogs. When mixed with water it simply becomes mud, which you can easily swallow for full effect. A special offer for you only now is 10 lbs of our medicinal dirt for $1576.40. This may seem a lot to pay, but after you try it, you will not need doctors anymore! Hundreds agree it is well worth it.

This offer is only good for one day. Please immediately Venmo the funds to me at +220 563 979. The dirt will be shipped to you at any address you specify that is secure from theft. Refrigerate immediately.

Sincerely,

Prince Salamadonna IV

Medicinal dirt? Love some. Just as soon as I can move these medicinal worms in their styrofoam cups. When there's room in the fridge I'll get back to you.

What fun and to be published on a regular schedule. This schedule almost aligns with the permissible days to run my landscape irrigation timer. There is order in the universe after all!

I'm glad to finally align with something... Rain there not? It's wet in SF got drenched on my bike ride yesterday.

Yes, it started drizzling a few hours ago, here in Thousand Oaks.

So you’re saying I don’t need to post chapter 2, right? I only post when you water.

No way, no excuses, you cant have a rain-delay button for your writing schedule. BTW, this discussion reminded me to turn off the irrigation controller. So your writing helped save some aqueduct water from Nor Cal.
