Flanders and Swann?? I didn't think anyone remembered them, except maybe
Brad Kasperek. (I'm a Gnu, agnother gnu.....etc) I mention their names
and people look at me like I have two heads. I was beginning to think it
had something to do with being a Canadian, and that they weren't known
in the US. Sure am glad to see someone else knows their names.

Molalla, OR, where we are still digging out in the weeds and relocating
