There was a time however when you had Orvis everywhere and I would have
been somewhat skeptical of an Orvis endorsement. ;-)


Yes, those were the days of $200 waders for 20 days of fishing. And
in one case, $250 for 3 days. Nothing worse than a catostrophic wader
failure when you're in Labrador. Well, maybe a stick in the eye is
worse, cttoi.


Well, maybe, but it certainly makes trivial things like starving
children, war, poverty, and disease pale in comparison...OTOH, maybe
Fiona Apple and her husband can book yer ass into someplace where you
can see some of the world that isn't Orvis-recommended...someplace
actually extreme. And if they can't, let me know...I'll get ya into a
place or two that'll cause a leak in your G3s...from the inside, at
least...

HTH,
