Re:  Stump Puddles
 
Yeah, right! It's easy for you to say don't touch that
stump--you don't have to live with the Little Woman who is
determined to have a puddle! 

In any case, before I can do anything, I need to get the
surveyors and blasters over here to determine how far the
house needs to be moved. That will probably be necessary to
assure The One In Charge that our Pitifully, Paltry stump
Puddle is Placed in the Proper Perspective to our Pithy
Plants. Hopefully, this phase won't take more than a year
(push or pull).

I suspect those foreign-sounding puddles you describe are
Probably Profoundly Pricey for my Payroll. (Could probably
get one a lot better and cheaper at Grogan's War Surplus
Store--right, Pappy?)

Re:  Pappy's Puddle Development
 
I am, by nature, a normally quiet, reserved and shy
individual. However, since reading of John Richardson's
('58) and John Browne's ('61) plans for development of the
puddle shore, golf course and I don't know what all, I have
a question: Why are the youngsters getting all the good
deals on your property?!

Since I believe you to be a fair man (heh, heh), I am
suggesting that in your future granting of rights to
prosperity, you might include more "mature" individuals.
(Hey, as Louis L'Amour would say, when you're out there
among 'em, ya' got to be able to "fork your own broncos,"
and when you want to get things started, you "open the
ball.") With this in mind, I propose that you grant to me
the "amber liquid" concession on all Puddle property. This
would include those days in July after the Atomic Cup is
moved from Columbia Park to Pappy's Puddle.

Looking forward to an affirmative response so that supplies
can be ordered for next summer.

P. S.  I would also be happy to discuss the possibility for long-term contracts on concessions such as food, bleachers, parking, etc.
