[nagdu] working teams/respect

[Lyn Gwizdak]

Hey, Bibi,
That was awful about that idiot and his dog out in the heat and how he 
treated it.  Yeah , good thing you didn't say anything cause he coould have 
then gone off on YOU like that.  You never know these days about some 
people.

Hope your weather cools off soon for all of you!

Lyn and landon
