I am leaving for southern Oregon at o-dark-thirty tomorrow morning and had hoped to have this week's post ready before I left but it isn't going to happen. I will not spare the horses and will speed back on Monday so please forgive the delay and come back on Tuesday when I hope your patience will be rewarded and Operaman will appear as usual. There is fun stuff to report so don't miss it!
