Dorado on the Fly by Don Ordes (March 22, 2003)
After arriving at LAX on Sunday and quickly checking in I met the gang from the fly shop. Thankfully everyone was accounted for this time. It was then on to multiple and thorough luggage and body cavity searches at every check station. I must fit the p... |

Clave of Tin by Byard Miller (November 1, 1999)
