That's nothing.  You should see Dr. Bray when he's trying to get me to
teach one of his classes here at Cal Poly for him---now THAT'S
repetitious demanding.<VBG>  But, you're right, he usually gets what he

Well, there's certainly plenty of good grass hay available in Southern
and Central Ca, so it doesn't seem unreasonable for it to be available a
little further north.

Thanks for the info on getting a hold of the growers.  Hopefully the
folks up north will be able to get some good quality hay.  Maybe some
people can get together to buy a full load and get a better price to
boot.
