Manny, please, call me Patrick. I'm just not the same without the trick.
Grin. We get race tape producing worms (mini caterpillars, really) who use
the winds at dusk and dawn to hitch a ride tree to tree and, unbeknownst to
them, across trail. Though if I were to raise my arms in triumph on the
oak caterpillars - we had them so bad about 8 years ago the UPS coming down
the street looked like the Aadams Family. Rain has been almost forgotten
here over the 4 year drought, though we've had monsoons also that may break
it. Light rain is rare here, but earlier in the year we had a
Maybe it's growing up with them and living in the mountains where being
down and out of lightenings likely path is easy, but I love the boomers.

Ah yes... Nothing motivates and makes you reach deep quite like approaching
