Sorry I missed you guys. I was there until around 11:15 - 11:30, but my
friend John had to leave. We got there around 8:00. I didn't see anybody
except David, and didn't recognize anybody's car (that I saw) but there was
a pretty good turnout of stuff this time, so maybe everybody was "looking
at the ground a lot". Sure was a nice day though!
Maybe next time.
