I would if he’d let me. Stubborn old coot.
Actually, he’s in much better shape than any of us thought. Frail and bent and skinnier than last I saw him, and a bit dotty, but I came prepared to read him The Riot Act, which I brought with me, printed in its entirety, and I gave it to him, we read part of it, had a great laugh, and then he explained to me its historical significance as a legal document, and gave me some of the underlying political context. Felony adjudication by mere proclamation, with death as the punishment, no benefit of judicial review or rebuttal, awesome stuff from 1714.
What a relief! This will be a good week. I identified some trees to trim, and one to take out, a big ol crabapple. Are they good for smoking? There’s some wood there, and I brought the trailer.
Hope your day was good. I burned 52 gallons of gas yee haw.
