OK, kid, here's a bit more help.

Clue words like "beaver," and "geoduck," as well as "emerald and rose (and sunshine)" are geographical clues.

Some of the Mudcatters I've met in person are Mousethief, Amos, Barbara, Art Brooks, Reggie Miles, John P, Charley Noble, and Mudjack. Some of the Mudcatters I've "spent the most time with" on line are Aine, Jerry Rasmussen, Amos, Ferrara, KatLaughing, Marion, MTed, MMario, Sharon A and musicmic.

I've also been nipped at a few times by miscellaneous gargoyles and guests and argued with Doug R on occasion. (Boy, THAT narrows it down, doesn't it!?) :- D

Had I looked around me, beyond the end of my nose, back in the early '70s, I might have ended up pickin' an' grinnin' with Rick F. or Little Hawk (except I don't think LH had been born yet).

And, oh, yes. I learned to ice skate up there in your country.

Don't be too surprised if one of your prezzies ends up coming down your virtual chimney on Christmas day!
