Thanks

Hi all!

I occurred to me this morning that it might be hard to see the address on our house and I don't have a flag to fly or anything.

What I do have is a really old red pickup truck parked out front and our front yard is a complete jungle. I'm not kidding. Jaime will look right at home out there in his pith helmet. All he'll need is a machete.

Technically the front yard is an all California native plant garden gone badly awry. It's been left to its own devices for two years.

Anyway, if you know we have a jungle in front of our house it'll be easier to find. See you tomorrow!

My son wields a wicked - if somewhat indiscriminate - machete, I'd be glad to put him to work

Best regards,

Jake,

Here is the latest forecast:

It is going to be warm but not nearly in the same ballpark as the Sun God Apollo's apparent hatred and/or love of the Campbell Highland Games.

C'mon Monkey, I'll even buy you a beer!

ith: Cheers

Jamie

It was nice to meet some of the Rabbles at the Livermore Games. The heat was getting to us so we left early and went back to are home in Prunedale. Thanks Jamie on the advice about Stillwater kilts. I think I will get one of there Kilts.

We had a wonderful time at the events and at the Farlanders home (thank you for opening your home to us!) It was great to meet the the Rabble members that were present. Ellen (Alan, did you catch that!!

), Morgan Kelly, AKA "Jewel" (how did she get that name?) and myself are looking forward to seeing you all again at the next Rabble event! We are honored to be a part of the NorCal Rabble!

Slainte to all
