From an email to friend in Baltimore

So I am now a bonafide redneck fo shizzle. In the space of today, I have learned how to ride a horse, shoot a pistol, and do a cake walk, courtesy of the Baptist Church Freedom (Isn't Free) Festival. Tomorrow I am learning to drive a tractor. How is your internship going so far? If its hotter in Baltimore than it is in South Georgia, I'll eat my cowboy hat. Actually, no. I just checked the weather and I believe you.

Hey Amie!
Well I'm sorta chilling out until late August. Hiking, biking, etc. Then I'm taking a job with John Deere in Moline, Illinois. Bummer about Italy vs. Spain huh? That sucked. How are you doing?
