      Kevin,

      Thanks for the story. I had not seen it before. I like Lyle Lovetts version, but I like the last part in Robert Earl Keens about an old bulls work never being done.

      Did you make it back home or are you still vacationing?

         Back home, where it actually rained a little and smoky skies cleared up for a minute. Firefighters are getting a handle on things…for now.
         Can’t tell you how much I love your granddad’s comment. I’m gonna steal it. 😁
