Howdy All
I neglected to write about the hilarious present I received from Z-dude while in the hospital (in addition to his gift of anesthetic beverages).
I opened a large shopping bag to find two knee-high Whitewater Super-Fabric snake chaps
with the following note:
Whitewater Outdoors -- the Ellen Coleman Snake, Brush, and Tree Chaps
These protective chaps are guarenteed to prevent snakebites, profuse blood loss (from encounters
with the untamed brush of the San Jacinto Wilderness) and broken bones due to unexpected acceleration down slopes in snowy conditions.
Should this product fail to live up to expectations, Whitewater Outdoors will pay the full and complete cost of a two night stay atop Mount San Jacinto in the finest accomodations available, including free use of bedding and one can of cream-of-chicken soup.
Welcome back,
Ellen

The bag alos included a can of cream of chicken soup and foot warmers.
Z said he'd purchased the chaps after running into a rattler on one of his runs. The problem is, there's no way one can wear these chaps and actually move. They're about as stiff as the brace I'm wearing for my ankle.
I showed them to other visitors from this board, who were also amply entertained.
Thanks again for the laugh, Z.
Miles of smiles,
Ellen
