    Ummmm ... not to burst any bubbles ... but might the letter have come from Headwaters Bamboo? Addressed to the way you receive a "favorite" fishing magazine? With postage by "U.S.postage paid STD mail Headwaters Hillsboro OR"?
    Just asking ....

    Don't look back, we ain't goin' that way.

    Betty, now that you've burst his bubble, can't you at least offer the poor guy a carrot?

    A carrot? A cane rod? I don't know!
    What I will do, mark my words, ... if his wife gets a blank from Headwaters or, better yet, Hook and Hackle, I will build it for him. There!

    I'll tell you from experience, that's a mighty tasty carrot indeed!
    If it swims and eats, it'll eat a fly.

    Ok now that my bubble has been burst I guess the only thing to do is go soak in a small river that is about 50 degrees and try to catch some trouts.

    Am I the ONLY one to note that maybe you SPOILED a surprise she had in store for you. There would be NOTHING to lose if you didn't mention anything when you saw the brochure. If ,in fact, she did plan to surprise you with a grass rod ,GREAT and , on the other hand, if it WAS bulk mail, so what.
