Dear Julie, I live in Memphis, TENNESSEE, not Mississippi. I know
that Faulkner said the Delta starts in the lobby of the Hotel
Peabody (in Memphis) and I know that some people call Memphis the
capitol of Mississippi, but the state line is at least 8 miles
south of where I live. You're a Midwesterner, you should be vaguely
aware of where Memphis is. When I lived in Seattle some guys kept
asking me what it was like living in Louisiana or Alabama. They
had no idea where Memphis was -- somewhere down there, they would
even confuse Memphis with Nashville -- but they were Seattleites,
you have no excuse.
And here was I thinking that you lived in Scotland County, Missouri.

Move to Portland is my advice, particularly now that I know that a
sick cat and a lock cost about the same to repair.
