3     "You know I never get tired of hearing about the Big Burp."

"Fifty-seven people lost their lives that day, not to mention the 7 thousand big game, 12 million Chinook and Coho salmon, and the millions of birds and small animals that died." Gran handed Ginnie the last dish to be dried and put away. "OK, muffin, I can see we'll get no peace ‘til you get your way. Let's go outside where it's cooler."
