Though the horse**** abounds neck high at times, so does the generous good spirit of folks i've been fortunate to meet through this newsgroup. Two days ago, i received a surprise ups delivery. Upon opening it, i discovered a newly published book -"In That Sweet Country", containing the uncollected writings of Harry Middleton put together by Ron Ellis, along with a friend's note simply saying "Hope you haven't bought this yet." An unexpected gift... from a friend I met through this group. In any event...i've a new Middleton publication, my chestnut trees are growing, and in less than a month i'll be chasing the great mystery again in Montana. *None of these would have been a part of my life if not for the people i've met through roff, and their unconditional willingness to share their kindness and knowledge with the unworthy likes of me. Oh...and here's a new musical discovery (for me at least)...Melody Gardot. *If you like unique easy-listening jazz/blues vocals, she's terrific imo. *http://www.melodygardot.com/#/intro/ I'll have you know that yesterday, just yesterday, I received an email from Amazon... Yes, Amazon.com. They chatted for a bit and then got to the point. They specifically mentioned the book and the CD I ordered, specified shipping dates and targeted dates of delivery. That's how I like. Short and sweet. Oh, we have had some dealings over the years but I think I have finally got them shaped up into an efficient company. That's why they give me such good service... I mean, when is the last time Sam Walton called you and said, "Gee Jeff, thanks for buying that t-shirt?" John |

I told him it was for a fat man in Urbana, Illernoise. Got to camp yesterday. Beautiful morning with promises of getting very warm later today. Dam running at 800 cfs - fish taking dark caddis (alderflies). Big fireworks display tonight with over 250 lbs of flashwhizzbangs. Dave |
