Of course I'm reading this! I read everything! HA! :) Don't worry, I'm
not upset, just because the rain has now turned to the DAMN WHITE STUFF
again!!!! :( Who is this La Ninia chick anyway and why doesn't she just
leave me alone? :( :(

But seriously. I'm jealous of those "donkey trails". Wouldn't mind driving
those right about now. ;)
