Opening day was always a huge social event when I was a kid. We would have about 25 guys out to the ranch and do a big barbecue. Back in those days we used to dry farm oats and flax and we had a lot of deer. Started when I was 9 with my own rifle sitting in the back of grandpa's truck. Left California when I was 65 so that would be 56 minus one for my Dad's funeral.

I am continually astounded at how quickly people make up their minds on little evidence or none at all.
