These past two winters are really causing me to lose faith in global
warming.

Who just go in from cleaning another six inches off of his driveway. Won't
daylight savings time make spring come faster?




Heah, it's only about 800 miles west to get here ... Spring has Sprung
round here ...it's lovely.

I've been mowing, spraying, sneezing, enjoying all the orchard blossoms, new
flowers, Wood Ducks checking the cottonwoods for nesting holes, and just
sitting on the deck getting some rays in the warm sun.

Life is good.



But, do the 800miles next Sept and I fear you'll become a true believer
again, IF you can get through all the forest fire smoke to see our hot and
terribly dry landscape.

I don't have to be dead to believe in death, nor currently suffering from
heat to believe in Global Climate Change
... the evidence for them both is pretty convincing in spite of conditions
on this, particular, day.

Last trip 2 weeks ago to the Santa Monica daughters abode, and the drive
down I-5 was beautiful. Can be boring during the summer when it is lots of
brown hills, but the hills are green, most of the fruit and nut trees are in
bloom. Missed the rain and the Saturday we rode the bikes down to the
Marina Del Rey pier outstanding. 75 degrees, lots of nubile young women
skating, biking and jogging in bikinis. Life is good.

morning at 5:30 AM... Hope it warms up in the next couple weeks or the
skwalas will need long johns!

He he he!

Don't forget to make it a sparse tie, those rainbows/browns/cuts on the
Bitterroot are picky!

- anyone have a favorite olive stonefly pattern they would like to share?
