I have been camping for 40 years, and sat around many campfires,
where
many strange topics have been discussed. Sometimes they even talked
about the days fishing or hiking, biking or skiing. If the topic was
not of my interest, I could always grab another adult beverage, set
back, and contemplate the sparks rising over the campfire. Usually
the
chatter would lull me into a luxurious state of
semi-subconsciousness,
which convinced me that a hard day of exercise followed by the
campfire, is better than any day at WORK!

If the above did not occur, I could always retire to my tent and let
the darkness embrace me in slumber. I usually did not last long
listening from my tent.

If the OT chatter, disturbs your sleep, I apologize! I find this is
some of the best part of the day, and talking to fellow paddlers,
even
OT, is very stimulating. So maybe, next time you should pitch your
tent a little further from the campfire IMHO! TnT

But how does one determine whether the tent should be pitched farther
away
or that the party around the campfire has just gotten too rowdy?
What if
they start chanting religious stuff real loud and you can't get to
sleep
even if you pitch your tent a hundred yards away?

Not to disagree with your analogy, just being an ass. Personally,
I'd have
said that if you don't like what's going on, contribute(help change
it) or
leave, but don't just whine about it.

Well if it has just gotten too rowdy, we'll be more than willing to
tone it down, If you ask us real nice!

Good grief, now I've actually contributed to giving Tinkerntom even more of
a god complex!

Tinkerntom, ferchrissakes, get over yourself. A nut preaching about god is
one thing, a nut who thinks he IS god is much worse!
