What I learned today

Today I learned that my heifer for our local Santa Barbara county fair is a lot more tame than I thought she would be, coming straight off the hills, but thats going to being a good thing for the both of us. 

Chapter 8 catcher in the rye

Holden walks to train station because it was to late to call a cab. He cleaned his bloody face up a little bit with some snow on the way to the station. He loved to ride the train because he could by a sandwich and some magazines that he could enjoy with out anyone see him. A lady got on the train at Trenton and sat down right next to Holden. She started a conversation with him by noticing his pencey sticker on his suitcase and saying her son when to pencey. She said his name was Ernest morrow and Holden thought of him as the biggest bastard in the history of pencey. Holden lied to her about his name saying he was rudolf Schmidt and talked about how much of a great kid Ernest was of course lying about everything he said. Holden liked the lady, the way she looked, talked, and just everything about her. Holden offers a cigarette to her and she takes it as they are smoking he asks her if she would like a drink in the club car but she says she shouldn't and it was probably closed anyway. Holden told her that he had to go home early be cause he had an operation removing a tumor on his brain. She got off at Newark wishing him luck with his operation and telling him to visit Ernest during the summer in Gloucester Massachusetts where they lived. Holden told her he would be in South Africa with his grandmother but thanked her anyway.
