What a shame.<\/p>\n<p>\tYes, you know why we are out here. Jane was here two weeks without<br \/>\nme, but neither of us could stand that. She came back for a week, and<br \/>\nthen we drove out here, and I believe that we will stay here until the<br \/>\nend. I loaded the car up with six months of work, etc., and we<br \/>\nwill manage.<\/p>\n<p>\tDo keep in touch. Danbury forwards mail so that it gets here in<br \/>\nabout 48 hours. Good people.
