The pond is suffocating it's inhabitants... in this the seasonal drought.
While the pond evaporates the tiny world of these desperate inhabitants,
some like the Bobfish have dug deep into the mud and encased themselves for
hibernation. Meanwhile the remaining few school ever tighter... biting at
anything in effort to stay alive.

Good Grief Guys.... 6 bites on a baseball troll??????

Tsk Tsk Tsk...

Heh heh... CM you've certainly got a way with the words...
in this particular thread. :-)

The pond is...


Rather boring (but still informative)here of late.

Hmmm... Could it be like the old blues refrain goes "It's a
lonely old town... when your(Bobfish)not around."

Course it's a given... that Rob is out there in cyber space
lurking... and enjoying all of this.

Possibly not. There was a major boatyard fire...


Wow... Tnx for the "heads up"! Assuming his pride and
joy (Heart of Gold) really exists... it's sudden and un-
expected demise would be a sad situation indeed.

Hopefully... someone in this NG may be able to ferret out
more information and/or Rob himself will respond.

Best regards

Bill

Historic yacht club on City Island burns down


March 10, 2006, 12:20 PM EST

NEW YORK (AP) _ A historic yacht and beach club on City Island overlooking
the Long Island Sound was destroyed by a fire that burned for more than four
hours on Friday.

The fire was reported at 1:30 a.m. at the Victorian-era Morris Yacht and
Beach Club, which was not occupied because of the hour, and eventually went
to four alarms.

Eleven firefighters suffered minor injuries. The Fire Department said the
cause of the fire was under investigation.

"It was a real part of the community," said yacht club member Steve Lott.
"It's one of the great buildings of City Island (with) a lot of history."

He said it served "the maritime industry and just boating and yachting of
the area."

The private club was open to boaters and nonboaters alike. Located on the
tip of the Bronx's City Island, overlooking Long Island Sound and
Eastchester Bay, it comprised of a wood-frame three-story mansion built in
1850 and 400 feet of waterfront.

The mansion was frequently used for catered events including weddings,
bar/bat mitzvahs and banquets.

Club member Bob Lachman called it "a great club (with) beautiful grounds."

"They had all kinds of affairs there," he added.

Fordham University Sailing Team stores its fleet of boats a short distance
from the club's beach, and Columbia University's Sailing Team at the City
Island Yacht Club is nearby.

Scotty... you got a good point there. Think of what we
would have to go through (again)when he acquires a replace-
ment.
--------------------------------------------------

Since some of the preceeding posts had to do with WX con-
ditions here's mine:

I live between Barstow and Victorville, California, and it
just now starting to snow! Which is rare for these parts.

Chilling out... (literally) :-)

Bill

Note: To the others... tnx for the news reports/sites.

Sniveling noted It's after 6 pm and it's finally cooling off...78
degrees!

Note: To the others... tnx for the news reports/sites.


Such a ****** you are for not thanking me directly! See if I help you
again... thanks to "others" I'm miffed and Snotty's an asshole with an
ugly boat and wife.

Blondie... Please except my apologies for the impersonal
response/credit. That is usually not my style.

Sometimes my brain does not stay in cadence with my typing
fingers. Also I was thinking in the plural... when in fact
you were the only respondent with the details.

Thanks again for taking the time to extract the fire "info"
and hopefully Mr. Rob's boat was not involved in what apparently
was only a single structure type fire.

Best regards

Bill

First his big screen TV, then his boat? What's next, his cameras and his

Hell CM,

I don't know what you're reading but I'm enjoying an awful lot of what's
being posted.

Hell, CM; I think it's about time you brought a round. We have to keep
Lloyd primed. He's on a roll, don't let him run down. His City Island YC
Fire is a Classic! Don't think Nutsy can match it. He'll have to come
up with a humdinger of a LIE to match that post.

How 'bout it Kate? Think the group is doing OK for late Feb/early March?
