FC, Those Tules sure are costly critters to hunt IF you can draw a tag. But they get some nice ones too. I may start wasting my money in the draws for elk here in Cali, but it will be for our local ones. Maybe try to get an archery tag.
Boomer, that's a horrible week of driving. Should get hazard pay, or war zone credit.
RE: bikini pics. That is one of the few things I miss about living in SoCal, 9 months of bikini weather with extra days thrown in on the other three months! And so many of them too. Haven't seen one here in the Modoc, not even on a nice 90F day. A halter top or two is all.
