Did you know that captive deer kill more humans than any other captive
animal?

???????

Sorry, JimH. I guess I should have posted something about buying a
new lawnmower. :-)

Or just report local temperature. That's always thought-provoking.

Yes Vic...........as we all know the weather has absolutely nothing to do
with boating.

Hey, I never said that. Your weather reports always get me thinking
about boating. But I like gfretwell/Wayne report more, because that's
my boating location - when I get there, and when I get a boat.
I do admit that lawn mowers leave me totally limp.
That's why I said what I said, to push you more to temp reports and
away from lawn mowers. Did it work?

Like starting a discussion on unions......eh? ;-)

Since I was a Seafarer, unions always remind me of boating.
Used to do Erie in 300 footers. But I *did* mark it OT anyway.

I wonder why no one has thought about putting up a web page where you
could check local and national weather. One would think there would be
a big demand for such a service. It would make it much easier than
having to come to rec.boats for weather forecasts.

What's a web page?

What's a web?

Damn kids and their terminology...

Speaking of weather, I ran into a neighbor when I filled up the truck
this morning and he has this theory about bad weather forecasts.

He believes that it's a conspiracy between convenience store owners,
those that report the weather and the baking and dairy industries.

His reasoning is that when the forecasts are written, they emphasize
the worst possible scenario so that people will run out and buy five
loafs of bread and three gallons of milk at convienence stores. :)

Convenience stores don't sell real bread. They only sell the mushy soft
crap Americans think is bread.

Ore carriers? What ports would you visit?

Tankers only. Toledo and Cleveland on Erie, maybe Erie.
Hit a lot of ports on them all, except never was on Superior.
Orion was the tanker's name.
Cleveland Tankers (Ashland Oil) was home ported in Toledo,
and I was with them most the time, but did a stint on the Standard
Oil tanker Illinois out of Whiting.
Only did it one season. Lonely existence unless you like bar girls
for companionship. I don't.

You spend any time at Piney Point? I took a few courses there.

No. I was a grunt in the fireroom. Fireman/Watertender.
Not officer or even deck material. Color deficiency kept
me from ever becoming a gentleman, even if that was possible.
BTW, I was Steelworker, Autoworker, Seafarer, Autoworker,
Teamster in that order.
Might have been Machinist somewhere in there too.
Thought I'd mention that since Jim brought up unions.

Here's a bit of trivia that might be of interest to Pacific NW
boaters, and to others outside the area as well. Recreational boaters
are being counted by a variety of scientific and environmental
organizations, and this piece illustrates just how they are going
about it in this area:

Quantification of Peak Season Marine Vessel Traffic Pressure in the
San Juan Islands

Did you know that captive deer kill more humans than any other captive
animal?

I didn't know that.

Did you know that 100% of all people who died last year are still
dead?

Cite?

Pizza?

Which topping(s)?
