**Dave** , I have been asked to function as a spokesman for the Society for the Ethical Treatment of Dopers to immediately cease and desist making grotesque allusions to your meat.
Thank you.

Well, I made a loaf of bread last night (not very large, maybe Dave could sell slices to cover the damage that weāre going to do to his house!) and bought a bunch of bread. Itās real interesting trying to pack bread, let me tell you! Also, we might pick up a loaf or two while weāre in NYC if we see something interesting; or maybe some rolls if we can find a grocer. Do you need extra margarine?

The person with whom I was getting a ride has had to cancel, kiddos. Hence, things are looking bleak in terms of my ability to attend the Ribfest. Just letting my public know. š

I donāt think **Cosmo** wanted to bug anybody by changing their plans.
She seemed fairly resigned to not going when I talked to her last night.

Cosmo, how far can you get on public transportation without a fuss? Iām sure someone can get you from somewhere. Weāre driving up in a teeny car, and there may not be room for your chair and you, but we could try!

**Gingy** , great idea! Iām driving the USS Buick up there, and it can accommodate Cosmo and her chair with no trouble. We can get her. Itāll happen.
Please come, **Cosmo**! We wanna see you!
