Pacheco's too far for me, Dillon - I'm a city boy. So I froze my off at
Mt. Tam Saturday instead: 41 degrees and wind at about 35 mph steady.
Jane and MoJo stayed until after the lecture to show stars to the
public; I bailed.

You can always argue about spelling in a previously unknown alien
language, Dillon, but there is NO EXCUSE for a misspelling that is
derived from a mispronunciation.

It IS, and ALWAYS was, "BARADA" with a "B!"

What kind of a half-baked speech pathologist are you?

Montebello?

Lake Sonoma?
