Letter from Slim Wolfe

Editors:
Winters are slow here, which is natural and good, but for those of us self-employed in building trades, a bit of December income is advantageous, even if it means a long commute. High-end subdivisions, though, always come as a bit of a culture shock to a low-end desert rat like myself. Big, clumsy, angular, high-ceilinged homes, failing to take advantage of southern exposures, pretentious signs (Sherwood’s Castle, Dun Diggin’ Ranch), spiffy appointments in guest rooms though the kids would probably just as soon stay in town where they can let their hair down. Grandiose entries, huge kitchens, the manifestation of success triumphant: waste.
