As far as I know, the well hasn’t been fixed yet and we’re still hooked up to the ditch, showering and all that in ditch water. The dumb cock thinks he’s going to fix it himself, but we’ll see about that! Tom said he says the well’s 400’ deep. That’s halfway to Arizona! I knew it had to be deep being on a mountain and all, cuz the water table just can’t be all that high when you’re on a mountain.

Other than a mysterious rash on the insides of my ankles and a bad allergy attack last night, nothing much is going on. Our throats get scratchy from the smoke and Tom says it’s hazy inside the building where he works, but so far there doesn’t seem to be any threat to us and I hope it stays that way!
