Or was it Craig who had the cold? No, it was Kean! I was going to remember that, for sure. Because Kean rhymes with cold. I guess Craig does, too.

So one of the precious ponds we will Deer Creek have. There is Nine Mile Kesenoir and others which hae some fish to be food. That way you avoid the big crowds.
