For my three or four regular readers I apologize for taking the blog to a sad place this time. My grandma passed away today and just in case she acquires some computer skills on the other side, I wanted to thank her for being one of the first and most important enablers in my redneck development. Grandma and her ranch in the hills of northern California will always be in my heart. It brought the family together every deer season and for the cattle drives. Even in the later years when life had not been kind, she always got a kick out of my ranch high jinks and the turkey feathers I would bring to her house. I don't think she was quite as excited about my transition to a fisherman but she would still listen to my stories.

Even as a kid I took some weird pictures... Thanks Grandma, you will be missed! |
