“ron, i really hope that as soon as you can you will get out of salton city, put a little camper on the back of your pickup, and start seeing some of the great work that god has done here in the american west. you will see things and meet people and there is much to learn from them. and you must do it economy style, no motels, do your own cooking. as a general rule, spend as little as possible and you will enjoy it much more immensely. i hope that the next time i see you, you will be a new man with a vast array of new adventures and experiences behind you. dont hesitate or allow yourself to make excuses. just get out and do it. you will be very, very glad that you did.
take care ron
