Looks like Skippy has a Cat 3 or 4 hurricane in the offing.
Seems like it's gonna track right up the Bahamas and the
Abacos are gonna catch hell.

I hope he found a good hurricane hole for the Flying Pig
or it might REALLY end up flying.

I know that Neal/Greg/Wilbur won't see this because he plonks my poorly
formatted newsgroup responses (no attribution marks, which pains me even
more than it does him), but...

Thanks, one and all, for the thoughts.

My logs, as seen from the dates indicated, are way behind. As such, other
than comments dropped in replies (again with the unseen bit), you'd not know
that we're not in the Bahamas.

At the moment, Flying Pig is on a secure mooring in Vero Beach, and I'm in
Maine visiting my sibs, one of whom came up from NJ, before I go to a
reunion of my freshman national champion crew (rowing) for a week starting
Saturday, and thence to MI to see my daughter, before I return to the ATL
area for my kids.

In the meantime, Lydia has a baby shower for her second daughter's first
tomorrow, and then plays around with her kids/grandkids until I get back on
the 20th.

When I do, I'll see my (other) kids and remaining 7 grandchildren, and,
still up in the air, maybe a week helping my stepson and his wife and
1-year-old-in-4-weeks family redo their kitchen.

So, aside from the unlikely prospect of a hurricane hitting the not-stripped
Flying Pig on its mooring, we're all good.

That doesn't mean we're not praying for those in the Bahamas...

I seldom pay attention to Neal/Greg says regarding technical matters,
but whatever is supposed to be the matter with your posts? They look
perfectly normal to me.

But, of course it might be a matter that, like a little, bitty, babe,
he just learned a new word and is showing off. Or perhaps it is just a
matter of a "stay at home" sailor being jealous of a "cruising"
sailor?



LOL. What a MORON you are, Bruce. Just look at the attribution from
your very own post above. Notice how the is used for both my
text and for Skippy's text. This is because your client, a proper
one btw, added one to the existing ones. This is an example of
erroneous attribution due to the fact that Windows Live Mail
didn't attribute at all.

It is a result of Windows Live Mail that doesn't understand the
conventions of Usenet attribution. It's a mail client - not a
news client.

Notice also how Skippy's Windows Live Mail failed to trim my sig like
any real news client does when the proper sig delineator is used.

Two dashes, a apace and a carriage return automatically deletes
anything below it when replying when using a real news client which
Windows Live Mail is not.

So, failing to use the proper tool for the job whether aboard or
on Usenet is indicative of stupidity, selfishness, rebellion,
wilful disruption and downright bullheadedness. Not to
mention rudeness and sloth.
