[Philmont] on-line list personalities

Some of us have a warped sense of humor and some of us are just warped.

OK, the juice was dehydrated, but the sirloin's Bill brought were great. We
carried them in a 56 quart cooler. And yes, it did have wheels. But we
found it easier to carry with all the creek crossings. What I can't believe
is how stupid I was bringing the ice all the way home to Texas. I should
have dumped it at base camp.

Mark,
I got your present yesterday. I do appreciate the freeze dried cow manure,
but we already have plenty in Texas.

Doug
