You are right Phil I have never been to central CA.  Out in Western 
Oklahoma they used them for Christmas trees back in my youthful 
days.  It is such fun dodging them in a car and if you don't you 
would have scratches everywhere on the side or front.  Kind of like 
the dust storms in West Texas that sand blast the paint if you drive 
very fast into the wind.

Carl, what were you doing in Alberquirky and why did you leave God's 
country?
