Thanks to my good friend Bill Salter for a beautiful morning out on the duck lease along the Bear River.  The tree in this picture had a beautiful bald eagle sitting in it until just before I clicked the shutter.  Oh well, the scene is still a nice one.

Dear picnicbaskets.com,

I am so, so disappointed in the picnic basket you shipped, which I was planning on giving to my wife for Christmas. Your site says "Straps, hinges clasps and handle are made of genuine leather..." That is, without question, blatantly false advertising. The product is very poor quality, and also arrived in shambles. One of the mugs and one of the plates were broken, because there was obviously no thought to protecting it during shipment. Shame on you.
