This surprise visit by Ma Thor P and Burt Ward puts a crimp in the plans of Beau Dandy. The horse is stuck in the barn. A Central City tryst will be delayed. Letters? If you wanted a response, why didn’t you send ‘em Pony Express?
Honestly — what year is it? Can the Taylor-Travis-Lebowski-vape-verse coexist with a reality where the postal service is the only means of communication?
Your step-father, Rob, and I have been worried about you.
We have also enclosed photographs of our crazy trips to Aruba, Jamaica, Oohiwannatakeya, Bermuda, and Bahama.
We will arrive in Milford on Saturday, February 24, to trade your worthless brother, Robin, for Jami, since we see he has mechanical skills and can fix our Winnebago when we go on our annual RV trip.
“…today, I am talking to a family who’s been living in their Winnebago since ‘93. Sometimes it’s a bit difficult, particularly when the Laundromat is closed, but they manage. They are well-stocked with Great Value products in the pantry…”
Nana, that’s got to be uncomfortable. You’re sitting on the last 1" of the side of the chair. And speaking of sitting, I hope you’re sitting down before you read today’s installment of Mopped Up Thorp.

Email still works pretty well even when folks are traveling these days.

The letter:
“Dearest Gil,
Your step-father, Rob, and I have been worried about you.
We have also enclosed photographs of our crazy trips to Aruba, Jamaica, Oohiwannatakeya, Bermuda, and Bahama.
We will arrive in Milford on Saturday, February 24, to trade your worthless brother, Robin, for Jami, since we see he has mechanical skills and can fix our Winnebago when we go on our annual RV trip.
Sincerely,
Your Mom”
