"its been sooooo lonnnnng that ive forgotten what fresh clean air smells like! is there any of it left out there?"
My prescription for what's ailing you would be...........................
Take 2 weeks of R&R at Douglas Creek, WY. I would recommend lots of bug repellent and some pure alcohol to enhance sleeping. Also, some cold baths in fresh mountain water would also be worthwhile. You might consider some exercise chopping firewood. It is very good for the heart and helps satisfy hunger pangs. Some loud yelling and singing would be helpful if Lady Luck should be at your side. Just try and stay calm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Remember, there is no cure for Gold Fever, just continuing doses of medication to control the symptoms. You might consider talking Leonard along to help nursing you back to health.
Merry Christmas to all and their families.
