this mess and that is that the quack doc we had is in the hospital himself so things aren't too bad. Well, it's Tue now. I had a swell time over the week-end. After lunch Sun. another guy and I took a notion to go hitch-hiking so we went to a town about 40 miles from here Kingsville. And do you know what!? We picked the first orange & grapefruit we ever picked in our life. (He's from Ia. too.) We saw some in a backyard so I went up and asked the lady if we could pick them. Then we walked down to Texas A & I campus, purty nice. After that we came back to the Methodist church for a pot luck supper. (We had seen them carrying the stuff in when we went past so we casually strolled in after everything was well situated). Naughty, but nice. Then we went over and sang in the choir while they dedicated a new church. I guess that's about all but it was fun. I hope I'll hear from again soon. Love, David [D. Livingston ART 3/C]
