Abstract
Rain was the forcast. Rain was in the air. Rain was on the ground in puddles. Ecotourist drove east through the morning drizzle in his new black Honda down Old Davis Road to California Fish and Game. After he was pasted with a name tag and scanned for metal, he boarded the bus for a slow ride to an island of mud in the middle of Yolo Bypass. Fences kept invited guests apart from an impromptu stage. Bleachers for the press rimmed the perimeter. Reporters in raincoats slouched near their cameras covered in plastic. A big wooden sign anchored with bales of hay spoke how much cooperation it took between a government and its people to preserve wildlife for egret watchers and duch hunters. An agent of the Secret Service attached teh Seal of the President of the United States to the podium. It looked like a velcro job.
