Since I realize that Denys doesn't pick any nits he won't mind being
corrected.  The SAN JoaquiN River does not empty into the Honker Bay.  The
Sacramento River actually dumps into Honker and Susuin Bays, the SAN JoaquiN
River joins the Sacramento River at the beginning of the Sacamento Deep Water
Ship Channel with some of the water from the SAN JoaquiN River flowing through
the New York Slough, the Middle Slough and the Broad Slough with a small amount
of water flowing into Sherman Lake which is fed mostly by the Sacramento
River.    The Merced River has it start in the Yosemite National Park and the
Sierra National Forest.

But I don't really think we want to pick nits here do we   :-)

Of course, we must remember that nits are nothing more than head lice eggs, so
I hope no one has any nits to pick anyway.  For anyone wanting more information
on head lice and nits, you can reference this page:
