Monsieur de la Roy:

Regarding yours of the previous:

Ah, yes Kenya. I'm glad you brought that up. Would that I were back there with Zinti and his little dog thingy. (What WAS that, by the way?) Well you know the place is no longer restricted. They've even gone so far as to let the natives have actual jobs now. Can you imagine old Governor Stilts-Hammond letting that sort of thing go on? I should say not.

I saw your cousin Fendrette on the "Jeopardy" program the other night. Naturally it wasn't the real "Jeopardy" but a lower budgeted localized version featuring area councilmen, housewives, 4Hers and the like. The questions are, of course, simpler. For instance, Fendrette earned $1,000 by answering a question regarding how her own street was named. Not especially engaging if you want my opinion and well, you have it.

Any day now I should be hearing back from the patent office vis my spectacular ideas for rain control. Until I am granted the patents I cannot divulge the exact nature of my inventions, but suffice it to say it involves a very large bumbershoot and a complex gutter and leader system. Huge barrels also play a part. Once the patent is granted, I do not intend to protect it as I feel my invention should be a gift to mankind.

You should be so giving regarding the matter of the $5.

Yours in Keeeerist,
