We do not any of us have investments or regular jobs or pay taxes or anything like that, but we are all getting worried abt how we will all weather the economy crisis just the same & that is why I called a meeting. Before we did tho we had round robin Battleship contest which jake of course won b/c he is real good at Battleship & back when he was an astronaut he even beat the Secretary of the Navy.

Anyway, it was not just me & dody & jake at the meeting. There was also travis, Big Tiny, Cpt Slow & Oola, Nut Mogan, and a few other fellows, and even some fellows what were women. At our meeting we decided that what we all cld use is more money. This fact has dawned on us before but this time we are going to really do something abt it. So what we thot abt is how to use what resources we got & to say what we are each of us thinking of doing so we do not all do the same thing. For example, Big Tiny is thinking of opening a petting zoo but he does not have any good animals to pet except for a lot of cats. But Travis has sheep & I have a beefalo! It is this kind of coordinatting is why we had the meeting.

Anyway, it was a real long meeting & there were lots of good ideas. I am going to note them here for the "public record" but I will do that tomorrow or the next day b/c right now i need to help dody w/ thanksgiving dinner. She is making 25 pumkin pies for the Grange dinner. It is my job to mash the pumkins. You do not mash pumkins the way you mash grapes, by the way.
