Trina Letter - Dilbert for Free

Hey, Navy:

Nice day here in Carson City. It started off right with the time change, so we all got a little rest (hope you got some, too), then YM and I went for breakfast at the Nugget. We then went up to the spiffy new Wal-Mart to get stuff. Lara has a new Jedi poster with that Ewan guy on it and Danielle got a white board.

Then for some silly reason, I climbed C Hill. Dunno why, other than to continue working out and burning calories. I used to climb it a lot when I was a teenager and it was a struggle then, but this climb was pretty much pain-free (going down was another story). Got close to the flag and found it’s all metal welded to a lot more metal. It’ll take a typhoon to blow that thing off the hill. Spent some time meandering around the summit. It’s very peaceful and tranquil up there, well worth the price of admission.

By the way, there wasn’t a single cloud in the sky, so I’m the proud owner of a pretty decent sunburn all over my face. Your mother, on the other hand, managed to get only one side of her face burned at the parade yesterday. Her picture is attached, but you might need a super microscope to see her in the picture. She’s the brown dot at the tip of the arrow.

From the Dilbert Newsletter:

- Our college just completed a new three-story building. While walking down a hall on the 2nd floor, I overheard two students say, "I really like the skylights on the 3rd floor." "Me too," remarked the second student. "I don't know why they didn't just put some on the 2nd floor too."

- My fiddle teacher was teaching a large group class. She showed them her violin and said, "This violin was made in the early 1800s." Someone in the audience raised their hand and asked, "So you got it used?"

- A few years back, I was in high school and we were celebrating Holy Week (the week before Easter) and we were watching a presentation on the last few days of Jesus. The teacher used a clip from the movie "Jesus of Nazareth" to make his point. As we were watching Jesus carry his cross, a girl in my class asked, "Is this live footage?"

Take care of you. Miss you a lot. All my love,
