Bonsai report 4/02

[Chiloe]

Went cragging at Rumney instead of going to my office
today. It rained for hours on the drive -- maybe this
will stop? Luckily, yes. While Californians boulder
in shorts, we choose layers of fleece. Glad to be
outdoors.

Right guess. No, wait, was that a metaphor?
For years I thought the crag's name was "Banzai," which
seemed to fit with the surf theme next door.

Not female. Also not Batten, though I did borrow his format.

Whoops - I see, I had been reading your name as "CLOE-EE" for some reason.
Lord only knows how people read "Liebgott"??

Hm, that must have made the references to my "wife" more exotic.
