Rick - never did see you yesterday. Did you make it? Sailing was pretty decent. I got there at 1:00 p.m. and foolishly rigged 11.0, went out and spent 1...
I chipped a tooth yesterday. Rather than wait 3 days to get it fixed, I thought I better call my dentist. They got me in and fixed it. By the time that was...

Rick, I must be an idiot, but I don't see a station named Toledo in the list of cities when I click the link. I googled Toledo and I see it's about 22 miles...
About half the time they omit Toledo. If they do, then just use Tacoma or some other west side place south of Seattle, such as Longview. No biggie. What...
