I suggest basing it on Anzac day - We all get up early and go to a sad service, then spend the rest of the day getting shitfaced.

Welcome to the neighborhood.

And anyone who comes in carrying an Aldo Leopold quote gets the first one on me. Nicely done, ma'am.

So I peeked at your profile and see that not only are you a fan of Aldo, but you write about one of my fav things. So I have to ask: Have you seen the reaction of the Black Locust to nitrous oxide?

I read Sand County 30 years ago. Made a huge impact on me. Guess you too?
