Hard to get here, yes. Impossible to forget, of course.
And the area is memorable as well... *wink* *grin*
I just looked at a map a while ago and the town was somewhere north and east of Sacramento ... I saw Ruff and Ready - cute name - but it was in gold rush country ... was just there for the one day ....
There is no need to put down men just to describe a good woman.
