   Oh don't get me wrong, I love me some fish--great eating!  I just   
   don't care to take the trouble to coax them out of the water.

   Thanks!  And for me, it cuts off two days, given my 60 mph upper   
   towing limit and slightly greater distance.   
      
   We're excited about getting back there.  One gripe: until we get   
   the cars licensed there we would have to pay out of state fees for   
   a state parks pass.  So that's one to do item that'll have to   
   wait.

   Yeah, I can see how that would suck.  I still think a cold beer on   
   a hot day is one of the best things ever.  Only problem is that   
   for me it would never be just one.  The old AA saying has it   
   right, "One is too many, and a thousand is never enough."
