Hmmm - Speaks of mother he does. What would Freud call it? The Oedipus
complex, that's it. No that's not it, Oedipus loved his mother, hated
his father. KMAN on the other hand ridicules his mother for her
apparent worship of material positions, and hence the transposed
aggression to anyone who shows the slightest propensity towards
eliminative materialism. But wait, wasn't that the outcome of what
Freud was talking about when he said "Every new arrival on this planet
is faced by the task of mastering the Oedipus complex; anyone who
fails to do so falls a victim to neurosis." (Sigmund Freud, Three
Essays on the Theory of Sexuality (1905) SE, Volume Seven (London:
Hogarth Press, 1953), p. 226.) And we all know to what else that
failure leads.

So much for the fun stuff, lighten up.

LOL. Heal thyself! See above.

If the OP wants to protect the
paddle from UV, road grim, rock chips or even bird sh_t what of it. If
you think it's foolish fine. Don't bother to contribute. BTW sunlight
will fade furniture, upholstery, carpet and anything else not suitably
protected, even little children left out in the sun too long by their
mothers, who were too busy obsessing over the furniture.

It nevertheless amazes me that someone would fuss over paddling equipment
left in the sun for a day or two! So it might fade to some indescernable
degree. Sheesh. Why get it wet! Something might develop a rust stain!
