&lt;p&gt;U: who?  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I: no, WHY?  &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;U: WHY?s on first?&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;U: what’s on Who?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I: no, WHY?’s on When we took this pic…&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;sorry we haven’t wrote you more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;we love you.  more.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;but we’re with The Peekers, whom’re amazing.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;they have a cat named Meatpie, and a dog named Feelings, and another cat named Susan B. Anthony.  and there used to be a cat named Dirtbike here, too, but people talked in Hushed Tones about Dirtbike now - so, well, you know.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;wow, the Road has been so wonderful to us.  we think by the time we get down to Austin, we might have a few spare moments to Share witcha.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;meantime, check out The Peekers.  and re-name yr cat Meatpie.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;heart!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;tUs! &lt;/p&gt;</description><link>http://theseus.tumblr.com/post/28484822</link><guid>http://theseus.tumblr.com/post/28484822</guid><pubDate>Mon, 10 Mar 2008 16:23:30 -0400</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
