Dear Tractor Master,
You are now and will always be, my Patron!
I will call when my wife allows me...
Regards,
Flint

Well Mr. Lookit-Me-I've-Got-A-Job Big Shot,
It wasn't all that long ago that you affectionately called me Patron and fixed
my machine anytime I could afford it. Now here you are piling on after I've
responded to having been gulled. Or do you reply to each message in your inbox
before reading them all?
Sobbing for my lost innocence in Marshfield,
Crushed Pilgrim
