Hank, we have a saying out here in the West: If you want to drive through a tree, don't visit a freakin' National Monument. I think Clinton issued some kind of executive order banning people from driving through trees.

W didn't revoke that one? Wished I'd know that shit i'd have stayed home in November. You can't be half committed to the cause. (psst. we can't keep talking to each other unles we bring it to S.)

No. His answer, "Palo Alto Hills," was an elaborate SIJOTD requiring proficiency in Spanish. However, in the interest of amusing and delighting Spanky with continuing on-topic banter:

There were natural groves of sequoia sempervirens on the eastern side of Skyline Boulevard (Highway 35) once upon a time. The forest lands of the bay-side Peninsula were logged extensively (hence, "Redwood City" and "Page Mill Road") but the accessible groves were exhausted by 1870. Redwood production, which was never highly profitable during this period, moved to the Pacific Northwest. The operations that were east of Skyline were mostly north of Spanky in Woodside, Portola Valley, and Searsville (never very large and now quite small, as it is underneath Searsville Lake). The existing redwoods in the region are now preserved at Big Basin SP, Portola Redwoods SP, and Pescadero Creek Park -- all west of Skyline.

Where is Searsville lake? Does Sandhill go by it? I don't remember a lake in Portola Valley. It is somewhere near the Alpine Inn (Rosatti's)?

I heard that San Jose use to have a port, but that the all the runoff from the water hoses used to blast the mountains and hills looking for gold filled in the sourthern portion of the bay, creating the marshes and cutting off San Jose. Do you know if that is true?

this is the posting style I mentioned earlier. Spank, I believe you are addressing Atticus, yet w/o the quote included it is ambiguous. I feel you use that to nice effect on the PB. It lets you distance a pointed remark from being directed only to the poster whom you uestion.

You invented the "no quote, focused pointed question." bravo

what he does on PB should be left there. Spank's just trying to defend himself there and its flame or be flamed. Do you blame your dad for what he did in wars?

I for one think the save the redwood people should take after the no fur and make it gross to have redwood furniture or a deck. You kill a 1000 year old tree because you can't bar b que on pine?

I sat next to this hot hippie chick on a plane once and she seemed seirra club by what hse was reading. I was going to bring out my theory but I was on scotch no. 3 before I realized the Sierra club connection.

If I were permitted to discuss my dad here, I would probably tell you that I think he was a cook or someting for like five minutes. He did the MBA thing. But we cannot discuss my dad here. Spanky does not want to hear about him.

The dissing of my dad goes beyond boards. Spanky, hate the game, not the playah's dad.
