Well Richard,

I would give you a hard time about this, if I could. However, I was not
aware of your absence form the parking lot. The reason, I didn't quite
make of over there myself on Saturday.

I had to work Friday night. I had to spray paint a basement of an office in
Everett after all the workers left the building. I got done at 9:00 and
was at home in bed at 10:00. I Set the clock for 12:00 and headed off for
la-la land. At 3:50 my wife woke me up and asked me when I needed to leave.

"Ack! Buggers! I ani't gona make it" I said.

After amoment of trying to figure out what to do, figured that if I left
then, I could meet people as they came back out. So, with in five minutes
I was on the road.

I stopped at Fall City to get gas and a mug full of coffee. I pulled up
to the pump. Got out. Reached around to get my credit card, and instead
of grabing the tanned and stitched cow drmus which held my important
documents, I got nothing but the demin streched across my shivering
behind. I headed back to Seattle, and strated over.

So Richard, don't feel so bad. It could happen to anyone. Really.

I did make it to the SAS trip on time Sunday. We saw one (1) male sage
grouse. Golden Eagles were all over the place which probably had alot to
do with the quite nature of the Chickens that day.

Should I sign you up for next year?

Russell
