Oh Jeeze. What a hoser I am! I almost forgot. I told WAde about your buddy Alfie and he asked if you were into skidooin and if you know how to use a handheld GPS. Apparently, it's a big passtime around where he's from. I guess they use the GPS during snowstorms. I'd never go into the woods in a snowstorm, even with a GPS, because you can't retrace your tracks if you get lost. I've ever been lost, just momentarily displaced.
Anyway, like I said before, if you ever get down this way, stop by for a visit. Me casa, sou casa.
