Thanks for the " Comments from Cliff" , Ray. What a show! One of my favorite replies from Norm to Cliff s logic can still be used all the time, especially here in Norcal:  " What color is the sky in your world?"
 
 Guess nobody likes seafood. Either that, or beer is MUCH more interesting than fresh invertebrates.[]
 
 Oh, and ... 15 days to go!

Dave -
 I think your seafood offer got lost in our double post-smoothly shifted towards beer talk, lol.  You should try again since I was part of the group that stole your thunder.
 Btw, is that seafood made from tofu and the vertebrae really a piece of celery?  If so, sign me up.

As an avid homebrewer we collect almost anything that has to do with beer.  My latest are t-shirts with:
 
 Beauty is in the hand of the beer holder;
 
 Don t eat yellow snow, don t drink yellow beer.

 So THAT S  who those " wanted, dead or alive"  posters are for. Something about a " square-headed guy, swells when wet..."   (just kidding) Sorry you won t be joining us.
 
 And in keeping with the theme of this thread (it seems to have Hopped over to liquid refreshment), there are a couple of good micro-breweries  in the area. The North Coast Brewing Co. is located right in Ft. Bragg, makers of ACME Pale Ale (for you Road Runner Fans). The Mendocino Brewing Co. is in Ukiah (tasting room in Hopland). And the Anderson Valley Brewing Co. in Boonville-- their company mascot is the very rare, but legendary, " Antlered Grizzly" . Only select few individuals have ever been lucky enough to have seen one of these magnificent creatures-- usually after *more than enough* of their fine brew.[]
