From: Julia

He’s what? Oh no, did he turn out to be a rat bastard? Don’t worry. I’ll find you another man, and we can leave nasty online comments for this guy. What’s it called? Trolling? Yeah, we’ll troll him. Will find out how to troll in the morning.

From: Julia

Also... with the B&B owner? Really? Dude!

August 2

To: Julia

Owner is man. They aren’t bathing together. Tub isn’t big enough. Dixon has toe caught in faucet and can’t get it out. Owner is trying to pull it out. I was banished from room for laughing so hard I had an asthma attack.

From: Julia

You’re kidding.

From: Julia

Isn’t that an I Love Lucy episode?

August 2

To: Julia

Don’t know. Laughing so hard I’m crying and can’t see straight to Google it.

August 2

From: Julia

Do I want to know how he got his toe in there?

August 2

To: Julia

We were having bath together and I was on Dixon and he was adding water with his toes. Got cold water instead of hot. Made me shriek. Dix tried to stuff toe up faucet to stop cold water. I tried to turn it off. Foot twisted. Toe got stuck. All sorts of swearing.

August 2

From: Julia

Man. That sounds funny and horrible at the same time. Is toe OK or broken or something?

August 2

To: Julia

Not hurt. Just bruised. Oh, there is owner with faucet in hand, minus toe. Must go see how Dixon is. Smoochies.
