usc,
I gotta stand with Fishyjoe on this one, bro. It's late April, and any excuse for the lateness of the fins at this juncture is lame.
Once you talk the talk you gotta walk that talk. And this ain't plantin' negative seeds in anyone, not really. We're just bitchin' that we're seeing an extended drought at a time when an early harvest should have been underway.
I'd call or write Haas myself, but at this point I wouldn't be able to discern whether he's a sincere man or just another bullshitter.
Loyal
