odd, I haven't seen Wayne start but a couple threads this year and they weren't designed to get people stirred up over nothing. And I believe they were actually boating threads.



Nothing near like Palin and Zimmerman, stealing poor peoples blankets, nasty old rightie/christian/ fundies, judges ruling on gay marriages in other states but their own, Georgia and Texas governors, abortions. etc.etc.



You know, that kind of swill.

I'm feeling kind of homeless in rec.boats this year since I try to

avoid political trolls, and I don't own a motorcycle or an Apple

computer. Please don't take my blanket.



I do have a couple of WinXP laptops that I use for navigation on the

boat. They work fine although some web sites have become a bit

finicky since the latest browsers are unsupported.



The center of gravity on my folding electric bike is just too high to

experiment with counter steering, however the YouTube videos

explaining the gyroscopic effects were interesting. Trying to develop

an intuitive feel for gyro precession is an interesting mind exercise.



Last but not least it's always sadly interesting to watch the ongoing

disintegration of Harry's mental state and his trips up "De Nile".

"De Nile"?

HA! I always loved this song, by Mel Tillis' daughter, Pam...
