Thanks for the taste of honey. <em>Les Says: I'm glad you liked the story, Denise.

I would have never volunteered to do that job...as a matter or fact, I'm not sure about the log ride either! <em>Les Says: They didn't actually ride the logs ("burling", that's called) - in fact, I doubt they were even full logs - but floated them down with the current, all mixed up with other people's timber. They would sort them out by whatever marks they'd put on them once they caught up with them where ever the heck they ended up. Me, I think I'd rather deal with the bees. Mind you, I'd have had them right stoned on the smoke rather than take a chance at being in the middle of a swarm.</em> Let me advise you that I enjoyed this immensely.
