Does anyone keep in touch with the former G&A member from Peru who moved to Europe? I cannot remember his name.
Antonio and family moved to Spain to get away from political unrest in Peru. They are doing well and his twins have grown up to be beautiful young ladies. Not too much shooting there, but some of his rifles are in safe keeping for when he returns home.
Thanks for the reminder, I owe him a email.

The really interesting part is in the paper where individual users (by name) posts are analyzed across multiple criteria.

I read the paper and was rather impressed considering it came from Berkeley! Their breakdown of member communication preferences was insightful.

Where was that taken? Looks like some kind of wonderful Victorian architecture! Feel sorry for the dudes all stuffed into those suits...

Thanks guys. The Ceremony and reception was at the Semple Mansion in Mpls., very cool place, the woodwork and structure was amazing, started building it in 1899 and finished a couple years later.

That time of year again. My wife and I (mostly her) did 30 pints of low sugar strawberry jam. Used one cup of sugar instead of seven with low sugar sure gel. We get the strawberries
from our Amish neighbors. They are the tiny super sweet variety. I don't think 1/7 sugar would work with those big Driscoll Styrofoam berries from the store.

Of course I did cheat for some strawberry shortcake. Didn't add sugar to the strawberries but I'm sure the butter recipe yellow cake has a bit.

We have a bunch of mulberry trees. Made jam out of them and I couldn't get the pectin to gel up to save my life.

My HoneyBerries are running behind because of the cool spring we are having, I should be picking some by now.
