Almost off topic, but it is so appropriate to this thread.

Some of you may not have heard about that famous Forks area fishing guide and the time his wife bore their first child. After the delighted and exhausted couple returned home from the hospital with the newborn, they began to receive many visitors who came over to see the new baby. Naturally, people were interested in the story about landing this newborn keeper from the North Fork of the PA hospital. One of the guide's friends asked how much the new baby weighed. Although the weight must have been written down somewhere, neither the new mom nor dad could remember. "No problem," the guide said, "I'll go get my fish scale out of the driftboat." So he did, and brought it into the house, and fashioned a little sling to place the infant in. So positioned, the guide lifted the scale and announced to everyone that his newborn son weighed a hefty 16 pounds!

Congratulations to the new moms and dads!

Sincerely,
