Have you had any luck tracking down any information about the well?

Nope. Spoke to Keesha and she said George had no recollection of it. Have you looked at the ranch?

Not yet. I’ll get out there tomorrow or the day after. The lock guy will be here at three today to install the buzz-in lock on our front door. BTW, Colton and I had lunch. He said you came by the bank a few days ago.

That is correct. I needed to make a deposit and that is where you do it. At the bank. Is there a reason he is reporting my appearance to you?

Subject: Re: Karankawa well

No reason. He just thought it was interesting that you volunteered to take his softball registration paperwork to the city.

I was going there myself and thought I’d save him a trip. I’m very helpful that way. I would hate for him to leave the bank and someone come in and he not know it and then fail to report it to whoever.

We were just wondering if it was you who registered our team as the Fred Savages. Or perhaps that was a gross clerical error on the part of the city?

Nope, that was all me. You’re welcome.

Charlotte. Why did you do that? The city says we can’t change it, they’ve printed up the schedules.

Subject: Re: Karankawa well

Why did I do it? Because A, It is hilarious, and everyone laughs when they hear it, and B, Frontier Bank Softball Team is so lame that I can’t even.

Subject: Re: Karankawa well

It wasn’t even your team to name. That was really uncalled for. You owe Colton an apology. You owe everyone on our team an apology. Actually, you owe us at least a round of beers. There are acceptable forms of pranking in a softball league, but changing a team name is not one of them.

Subject: Re: Karankawa well

You’re right. I feel so bad about what I did. I will bring beer to the first practice.

Thank you.

You’re welcome.

Wow, did you see that thing shoot past the window? LOLOL—for a minute there, I thought it was you! I thought you’d leapt on your high horse and galloped away!

PS Practice fields open Saturday afternoon. See you and the Freds there.
