| Dear Ann, You are just too cool! Do you remember The Greatest Country and Western Song Ever Recorded? How about the Hee Haw song, Gloom dispair and agony on me Deep dark depression Excessive misery If It wern't for bad luck I'd have no luck at all. Thought I found true love But you found another and Pfftt! you was gone. I may not have remembered it all correctly. I will look it up. Love, Betty |

| Dear Ann, I really enjoy them both. I will have to go listen to "She's Fat, I'm Drunk" When I first met my David, he was a Plant City boy. He knew all the honky tonks, and dive pool bars in this area. We went to them all, played a little pool, listened to the bands, went to work the next day. E. Don knows the stuff these bars are made of. David and I gave all that up when we moved to the country. It was too far to go and get home in one piece. Once in a while we sit out at the burn pile, burn some old logs, put on the old music and have a drink or three and talk of old times when the kids were young and how many trees have grown up all around us like magic. He likes to say how much of his blood and sweat is in this property. I have to add, "mine too." Perhaps I could write a new country song that had nothing to do with women, or trains or prisons or troubles with the law or being poor. I wonder if country people are ready for that song. A song of endurance like the old folk songs. Love, Betty |

- Dear David,
I know a few girlie rednecks. They are, of course, not the young girlie rednecks of men's dreams. They are the older, more expanded version with a lot less teeth. Nevertheless, they do walk the walk, and can be persuaded with okra or a bunch of collards to cook you a bodacious dinner. God only knows what comes after dinner. I do not know anyone who would tell. You are a brave man. I hope you know about the chewing tobacco. It would not be fair to leave that as a surprise. Love, Betty Now thats the stuff of nightmares I suppose they grow beards as well? |

| I got to thinking about hats today, one's we work in or write in or just flap around in. Up until a little while ago, I never considered wearing a hat, but once it became a life or lose the scalp situation, I paid attention to hats, tried a lot for comfort, not so much for beauty -which I consider by the way at this point in my life- comfort was it. I know men around here who have worn the baseball cap all their lives and have a tan line that begins at their eyebrows. I have a tan line that ends at my ankles and one that ends at my elbows and one that is the standard redneck tan around the neck. I was not ready for the new forehead white streak to add to all of that. Big, floppy hats were nice but blew off in the wind, and I could not see much of my work. Small, round hats worked the best. I look like the dork that I am, but not one person can see me but my dogs. My dogs love me just the way I am, no matter what I wear. David, they do not grow beards unless they are over 80, but at 40 they cease to shave legs and pits. Not that anyone notices. The men quit with the trimming of nose hairs and scratch whenever the urge comes, belch and fart at random times, and proclaim they are proud of it. Go figure. Civilization reverses itself and the heat goes on. Love, Betty |

| Spent all day today editing and proof-reading. Wore the pink camo hat. I think it helped. Now, if it will help me write the synopsis, I will have it framed! |

| Also...isn't it a pity that women don't wear hats much anymore? I think they are wonderful. |

I see a lot of girls wearing knit caps now, does that count? And scarves. The caps are cute, but I can't figure out the scarves. Long neck scarves, even in the summer when wearing shorts. |

| I started wearing baseball caps when my hair was thin. Now I still wear them because I have sort of a collection. Some are pretty glitzy, one bright pink with sequins and fancy stitching. I tried other hats, but people laughed. (My husband laughed.)
Now I have to decide which one to wear when I'm writing.

| Funny thing about hats. Some are used to protect against sun, some for the cold, some because it is demanded, and some just for the heck of it. When I was young, I was told by an ex-military officer that hats caused baldness. "Have you ever seen a general who wasn't bald," he asked. "The hats suffocate the hair." After that remark, I wore a hat only for protection and not for show. I don't know if there is any validity to his comment but it did make sense.
Of course as Carol has remarked, hats can be used to hide the hair. |

| . . . or lack of it.
I solved that problem with expensive shampoo, conditioner, etc., but I still love the hats.

| I think I was born in the wrong era. I like the look of a hat, dipped over one eye. Looks mysterious. Hard to dip the pink camo hat in such a fashion. Ah well... |
