Why are some people wearing mesh face masks?

Presumably because they don't like having corn leaves poke them in the face all day.

If you do it and don't wear long sleeves you'll get "corn rash"- basically your skin will get super irritated because it is constantly being abraded by the small, stiff "hairs" on the edge of the leaves. You can feel something similar on most grasses but on something the size of a corn plant they're bigger and you'll get raw walking through it all day.

We started getting these letters mysteriously a few years ago. We still get about one a year. These are the first two we got, and also the only two I have scanned.

They were sent from someone who lives in Indiana to someone who had never lived in the house. We thought maybe it was someone in my wife's family, but no one knows who it is.

They start out slow, but take a hard right turn very suddenly.

This second one was typed out on the reverse side of a photocopy of his social security check stub.

I will try to find the other letters so we can post them.

Like we need ADOLPH HITLER!!! RIGHT??? RIGHT!!!

So he evidently likes the story about his nephew or whatever shooting apples off the heads of Democratic politicians so much that he types it at the end of all his letters?

The edges of corn leaves are sharp as poo poo. Ok not like razors, but they can cut you and scratch the gently caress out of you.

Can't be a thread about the midwest without

Get yourself a can of Aqua Net or Right Guard Aerosol, a bag of russets, some booze, and launch those taters 200 yards :haw:

even more fun going to the local Ace to buy the PVC piping, epoxy and a grill lighter because they know exactly what you're up to.

Let this letter he sent us a bit over a year ago answer that question:

God drat I forgot how creepy this one was!

I know there was at least one more letter prior to this one, but there may have been two. I am still hunting for them. One of them also explains how his wife had just died.

Here is the back of the paper he typed this on:

He even reused the envelope!
