DISPATCH: Two Egg, Florida.

SUBJECT: Carol McGubberson DATE: July 6, 2013 ATTEMPTED RECORD: Largest Nostril Opening (female) WEATHER: 103 degrees, 100% humidity ADJUDICATOR: Kaitlyn Poole (badge #363941) Hi, Robert-.

Two Egg is really lovely this time of year. People keep saying it's hot, but I say it's a wet heat. Makes all the difference. Woke up to 98 degrees but it feels like 110 and it's not even noon yet! No need to even take a shower! Saves lots of time!

As you know, I'm here to Adjudicate Mrs. McGubberson's nostril, but I wanted to let you know that I saw Mindy's book at the airport bookstore. Not just the one in New York, but in Chicago, Fargo, Seattle, and finally Sarasota-every single airport where I had a layover on my flight to Florida. How crazy is that? Our Mindy a New York Times bestseller! h.e.l.lo, Ms. Steel1!

I have to admit that I actually bought a copy. I just couldn't resist. How many books has Gillian Flynn2 said she wished she'd written? Everyone on every plane seemed to be reading it, and I have to admit Mindy has been really good in all those television interviews. Though I never realized she's as short as Matt Lauer! Seriously, though, I'm glad that she's doing so well. And you were so heartbroken that night in Knoxville when you found out she was leaving the firm. I'm so glad I was there to comfort you. And to do with you all the other magical things we did. Oh, don't worry, Robert, I'm not going to bring that up again! I'm moving on! Honest!

Anyhoo, long day tomorrow-Mrs. McGubberson lives six hours from the motel-so I should tuck myself into bed. Definitely the kind of place where you sleep with all your clothes on! I'm starting Mindy's book tonight and will let you know how it goes.

I have to say the t.i.tle has me a little puzzled-TWELVE TOES IN A BOX?

I don't get it.

Kaitlyn.
