[pct-l] A potential member of the ADZ heard

[Donna Saufley]

That reminds me of an self-introduction Jeff once made at a local event,
"Hi, I'm Jeff Saufley, owner of Saufley Electric. Call me over and I'll
check your shorts!"

Glad you got your shorts back.  I am so excited to have a new laundry system
to implement this season that I believe will completely eliminate laundry
items piggybacking into someone else's pile. I must be the only person in
the world who gets excited over stuff like that. 

Choosing my own trail name was definitely pre-emptive on my part!

Donna,

You can just remember me as the 2007 hiker who lost his shorts at 
your place.  

Or rather, someone accidentally took them from the clean laundry 
pile, leaving Aqua Dulce a day ahead of me. I found them again 
hanging from a post at the trailhead on Tehachapi pass. Hoov was 
good enough not to have worn them. I think....

I finally accepted the trail name at Shasta; given to me by Bounty 
Hunter, Filthy Figaro, Blazer and Max.
