is what I entered into Google this morning just to see what I would come

with. It seems to be a mixed bag. There are many hits commenting on the
downturn in boat sales, but also many hits commenting on the lack of
effect. (http://www.sunherald.com/263/v-print/story/420243.html) It seems
also that the effects vary widely by region of the country.


It's bull feathers as my maternal Grandfather said in polite company.

I love those gas milage figures too. Hilarious.

Someone should do a 'meta analysis' of all the hits to see what the real
trend is - on a year to year basis for the past ten years or so. I'd do
it,
but I've got to go play some golf today so I can go boating tomorrow. BTW,
boating doesn't count as aerobic exercise, unless you can walk on water.


Neither does golf. :)


Speaking of golf, how's the hitting a golf ball with a baseball bat project
coming? 8)


Haven't pursued it yet.

I will before the summer is over.
