Don’t know about “Teddy’s tunnel” since I’m afraid the roof will fall and crush my car. I know from history that ol’ Ted won’t come and rescue me (either). I’m sure he needs the rake-off to restock his liquor cabinet in DC. The more of that family we can shove off onto the rest of the country the better it will be for Boston (but not for the rest of the country ... but I don’t live there).

It’s good to hear the downtown is shaping up in KC. Last time I was there it surely needed it and the Mission district had some really nice Christmas decor - guess that tells you what time of year I was there.

Oh, yes - I remember old “Hairy S.” as he was sometimes called. And don’t forget - we had good old Mitty R. as gov (BEFORE he tried to make the big time in DC). Pols are a pain no matter what it seems.

I think you are referencing the Country Club Plaza, which is somewhat famous for their Christmas lights. It’s funny how it was the first drive-up shopping district-—that Spanish shopping mall. That area is about three miles south of downtown.

Thank God we don’t have any tunnels like the Teddy tunnel. I can’t blame you for avoiding that unnatural disaster like the Bubonic. Maybe Ted needs some molasses-based mash to fill his DC liquor trought. While you’re at it, throw the Kennedys in the harbor. This would save everyone from their misery.
