RC: BRAND INSPECTION IN CALIFORNIA

["B.E. Jackson" <riosanbravo@hotmail.com>]

Sheesh, Lif
And I thought we had the neighbors from hell! We share a common well—them 
for domestic, us for irrigation—and in the winter, he likes to open our pipe 
valves, crank the pump on and watch all our pipes freeze and burst...good 
times ;-} Plus, we've CAUGHT them, in daylight, stealing eggs right out of 
our hen house.

Bonnie (in chilly central AZ)
