Extended our hotel room, as I doubt Temsco will be spinning any blades tomorrow. Glad we came back on yesterdays ferry; I doubt this morning, would have been much fun. No such thing as waterproof, when it gets like this! If you're still in K-town tomorrow, give my cell a ring; beer's on me. Jeff

It keeps me duck hunting in 60+ mph wind, driving rain, and hail. I got hit by a water tornado yesterday... Everybody I talk to who has been deer hunting is seeing bucks over here...
