We'll be in Yuma at 3:10 tomorrow

We leave at Oh Dark Thirty tomorrow morning for a trip to Yuma to see Kathleen's only nephew, Tony. He's married to Yvonne and they have two younguns, Evelyn and Andy.
Unfortunately, Yvonne and Evelyn will be heading to San Diego tomorrow afternoon for a Girl Scout event, so we'll only see them for a minute, if at all.
We'll be tracing the absolute southern border of Arizona, so naturally we'll be on the lookout for those illegal immigrants we've been hearing so much about lately. The countryside is a lot like what you see in the movie "No Country for Old Men" but it goes through the Organ Pipe National Monument so if we get bored, we might swing through it.
Tony's a deputy sheriff and has worked for the D.E.A. We hope he's seen the movie so he knows how dangerous it is to be in law enforcement in these parts.
We'll spend the night in Yuma, then on to L.A. to celebrate the end of the writer's strike as a guest in Hollywood of old friend Randy, now back from the picket line.

We note that the strike may have taken its toll. Buy-in for Sunday's big poker game is $20, marked down from the usual $50.
