If I never had contact with poison oak in my life, and I touch it, is it possible that I don't have any reaction. Then weeks or months later, will my body react to it the next time I touch it? Is that how it works?

I fish because I love to . . . Because I love the environs where trout are found which are invariably beautiful Because I hate the environs where crowds of people are found which are invariably ugly Because of all the ****tail parties, television commercials, and assorted social posturies, I thus esc...

Woke this morning to rain. Not your average rain, but a cold steady driving rain. Storm front rain. Hopped in the car at 6.00am and pulled up to my first stop at 7.00. The rain as I had hoped had not stopped and now combined with wind was whipping the tree tops around in a falling leaf filled fury. For a momen...
