Smalma, Salmo, Bob:

Many thanks, once again, for the awesome education you gents provide. Clearly, there are multiple "schools of thought" about the topic, and each one has its own merits. One would think that ultimately the science would only support one view.

H2H: Was gone all day again visiting my mom, as she is still in the CCU down in Kirkland...but she is improving, and today they were able to safely remove the life-support and she is breathing on her own. This is a major plus!

If she remains stable, I do want to get out and do somefishing on Sat. Plans (providing I get the trailer bearings finished) are to fish the upper run down to Sutter Creek.

Hey, did you go into HMSP? If so, did it look like they had cleaned the ramp up? (Someone mentioned that it was covered in deep silt and mud). I'll be up there tomorrow, if you weren't, and report back.

Mike
