All this has nothing to do with the bathroom being flooded, except that the closet holding the old linens is what got all wet. Which is why Aunt Jayne is so mad at me. What happened there was the same as always. There isn’t any air-conditioning here, and it gets so hot. I really stay busy all day too, digging and exploring and all. Yesterday I went to the mine. It is a long walk there, but I like it. I see all sorts of good stuff on the way. Once I saw a black snake that was stretched all across the road. I thought it was a branch that had fallen and figured that I would move it when I got there. The closer I got, the funnier it looked. Then a car came and damn if that wasn’t a big snake! The car ran over the end of it as it slithered off the pavement.
