So gratified & grateful, was I, to the ingratiating ingrate who left the great upgraded grate, gratis, that baked my un-grated great trout au gratin for my good gray plate that I left a gratuity in lieu of my ungratified congratulations.

Gravely grasping for gray matter,

Something of a "G  Wiz", eh, Old_Salt?

PS.  Sounds like the Badwater Lake area to me....

Goodness, GRacious, aren't you the one whose identity caption (bottom of your posts) starts with:

"Let your speech always be with gr...."          ???

Jib-Jabbing & Jabberwocky
***************************
'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did gyre and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.

"Beware the Jabberwock, my son!
The jaws that bite, the claws that catch!
Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun
The frumious Bandersnatch!"

  He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought-
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.

And, as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!

One, two! One, two! And through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.

"And hast thou slain the Jaberwock?
Come to my arms, by beamish boy!
O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!"
He chortled in his joy.

'Twas brillig, and the slithy toves
Did grye and gimble in the wabe:
All mimsy were the borogoves,
And the mome raths outgrabe.
