Hello, sweet -
How was blue Monday this week - did you miss me much already, I hope -
Had quite a trip up to Portland last nite - it was just exactly midnight when we got here, which I really thought was pretty good, considering we came through a thick fog all the way from about 8 miles the other side of Salem - and it was really thick - could only see about 10 or 15 feet of the yellow line and that was all - it was kind of spooky driving as it almost seemed as though we were floating in a cloud or something - anyway, it sure didn't do my eyes any good - they have been bothering me ever since and one of them still looks red - but I guess they'll be all right as soon as I get a good night's sleep -
I sure hated to crawl out of bed this morning, but it wasn't so bad and I got up - wore my new suit to the office today just to help me feel better, and it worked all right , as I received several compliments on it -
Speaking of suits, how are you coming along with your rug and tearing up my old coats - I looked around my closet for some more old rags but I am going to wear them awhile before I give them to you -
All the physical exams for the draftees are going to be held at the Medical School beginning in a week or so - on Wednesday nights - and Mr. Couch and I are going to be there each time to see that things are being done right or something - so I guess that will take care of some of my spare time in the evenings from now on - the exams will last from 7:00 till 11:00, during which time we hope to take care of 75 to 100 men -
Battleson seems to have done all night bowling in Marshfield - his team won the state 5-man championship, and he finished 7th in the state in singles, which is pretty darn good, as there is lots of competition there - however, I'm going to kid him a bit about his score in the doubles - he rolled a 496, which only averages about 165 a game - it's a good thing the rest of the team was hot - in the singles he had 612 - or 203 per game, which is more like it - you might congratulate him when you see him - also ask him when he is getting married -
Well, my car passed the 40,000 mile mark today, and just for fun I figured out that I have driven it 5,750 miles in 5 months, which averages 1,150 miles per months, or 287 1/2 mi. per week, or 38 1/3 mi. per day, since I got it, which is too much, on account of it 20 mi. per gallon, which I don't get, it used 287.5 gallons of gas, or about $60 worth -
This is kind of a screwy letter, but I just don't feel sharp tonite - so please forgive me - and I do love you -
Bill -
