Chauffeur Jacob.

April 27, Potosi.

Fridman has hired Jacob to drive our motor home since I left it at the circus after spring break, and this morning he came over and drove it still, for the kids' car seats are at home in Columbia and I need to hold on to them during the drive. 
Jacob told me his big news: he has a girlfriend. They met in Newport, Arkansas, exactly ten days ago, he said, when she had her Dad came to the show. He handed his phone to show me a picture of her: his screen shot.  I have not known Jacob to have a girl friend since he started working at Kelly Miller in February of 2011.
I'm very shy, he says.
