Dear mom, The tour is going well. We have met a lot of new friends. Ricky said he doesn't hate me anymore! We are in Minneapolis now and it is really cold. Apparently, our van could not deal as it is dead and sitting in our hotel parking lot at the moment. We did get to see a deer get hit by a car yesterday though. WOW!! There are 6 more shows in a row and then it's back into the studio for a week to finish our record. How is everything at home? We can't stop thinking about Chi. Please send our best thoughts and wishes to him and his family. Love you, dredg Oh....don't forget to feed Scrubbles and Robert the IV.
