unfortunately in this ever increasing PC kumbyearr world lighting a fire is a dying art.
Ive done it at bush line in the snow with sleaty crap blowing all around us.

I was taught how to start a fire in the rain forests of western Washington. I can make two bricks burn!

Bricks? Burn? Sense when do you find "bricks" in the rain forests of the Great Northwest?
I make two rocks burn ["under water in a thunderstorm"].

All it takes is about 20 minutes in the sun Suz! I got the back of my hands sunburned out at the range one day this summer. They are always exposed - who gets the back of their hands sunburned? If I get a sunburn, I blister - not pretty, so I wear long pants, long sleeve shirts and a cowboy hat any time I am outside.

You know what Paulie, so do I, an every year I go to the dermatologist and get little pre-cancerous buggers burned off, it's never-ending torture. My hands and neck are the brownest parts of me....no don't imagine it.

Aw Suz, If it's my imagination you will always be a dream come true! Even after we meet You will always be a beautiful woman. Physical appearance means very little to me. It is the heart and soul of a person that I remember.
