Thanks for blowing our cover, btw. If the stalkers find us because they knew what state to start looking in, I'm blaming you. Uh...I mean...why'd you say California?! We live in Alaska. Everyone knows that. Yeah, we're crab fishermen, that's the ticket. Nothing like a nice relaxing day of catching crab fishes.</p> I love it.
