I don't know if I can put up with all of these "sharp" and "cutting" remarks. It's hard to handle. Of course, I suspect most of the commentary is tongue in cheek... but the "edge" of the humor left me feeling a bit like something had rubbed my cheek the wrong way... I know you all think I'm on the cutting edge of wild stories but this "razor" metaphor leaves me feeling chaffed!!!

Regarding residual questions... no grizz... no blackies... saw lots of small critters including a deer, martin, bald eagles, humans, etc. Had the pistol grip 12 guage shotgun but returned with the same number of slugs as I had at departure. While climbing the mountain to paraglide, I saw a marmot and a perigrine falcon. The wonders of nature never cease to amaze me. Regarding Razor's inquiry into the rates, quantities, and frequencies of organic fluid consumption on the fishing trip... some information is disclosed on a need to know basis!!! Or perhaps as William Blake wrote (and I paraphrase), the only way to know how much is enough is to find out how much is too much!!! Beyond that, I plead "vague".

So that was Bakrazor in that canoe!!! I knew I should have asked names! Seeing two guys in the middle of the night in that remote location was akin to walking onto Wall Street on a Tuesday morning at about 11:00 am and finding the area as vacant as it is at 8:00 am on a Sunday... It just sends a chill down your spine given how unexpected it is. At the same time, the guys were polite and cordial. They were talking about how safe they felt in the canoe. I retorted, "The first thing that came to mind when I heard you two had canoed in during the night was 'A couple of very safety conscious guys!!!' " Everybody laughed... They appreciated the food and we helped them figure out how to find the camping spot... Of course, after following our instructions they ended up in a big swamp created by a beaver dam but that's another story!
