…While it baffles me that you are going to NH today, I’m not going to spend much time thinking about that. I am much more interested in the World Series. Did you see the end of the last night’s game. It was crazy!…
…I see that you are headed off to Pensacola today. I was surprised to see that they are having the Interstate Fair there with folks crowded on to the midway to get their caramel corn.

Safe travels to Des Moines today. … If you’re up to it, maybe you can join Joni Ernst (JKE) on her Harley to cruise along the MS river. It’s going to be a beautiful fall day & JKE knows all of the back roads from her annual “Joni’s Ride across Iowa.” That would make you feel young again.
…I know how much you enjoy rallies so I’m pretty sure that you will go despite my advice. I assume that Dr. Leo Valentin (LV) will be on the podium.
