So you’ve decided to move to the country where a New Year’s resolution may just sound something like: I will try to remember to change out of my Adidas before mucking a stall. I will call the burn day hotline before I burn a massive pile of moist debris causing a smoke cloud large enough to be seen from across the other side of town.

"I forgot to tell you a funny story. I had to go to a Christmas party for my husbands work a couple weekends ago. Dressy, city, and lots of people I didn't know.

In my last "Welcone to the Country" that I sent to you, it mentioned the black dress that shrunk in the closet over the summer. so...In walks this lady, who I had never met, she takes one look at me, smiles a huge great smile and she says to me, "Don't tell me! Is that the little black dress that shrunk?" I was astounded! She follows my column...in San Carlos. Go figure! You guys are read far and wide!"

Was that his lazy attempt at shortening WD-40? And what the heck was a topo map? As if WD-40 was not short enough already. One look of stunned amazement from my husband and a knowing disappointed shake of his head I knew I was missing .......
