Santa, Smanta!

Everyday is Christmas with Goerge W. Bush in the White House!

Everyone gets a piece of the ever growing government pie!

Free pills, tarriffs, pork, you name it!

Sorry, Santa Bush is not giving more freedom this year, or next year or
ever. Quaff a few government pills and it won't feel so bad. Don't worry -
your kids and grandkids that survive the war will be paying for it!

I didn't get a single thing other than a couple
lame Christmas cards.

So, I biked to West Marine today and bought
myself a new handheld GPS. I ended up getting
the Standard Horizon Magnum 40. It doesn't
have mapping features like the Magnum 50 but
is only cost $179 vs. $299. It comes with a
PC cord that allows it to input it's position
to my laptop on which I have digital charts
and the Cap'n and Offshore Navigator
programs. (all bootlegged, of course)

One thing the Standard Horizon has that no
other handheld I researched is a THREE YEAR
Warranty. Take that, Bobsprit!

I figured out why I don't get presents for
Christmas. Why by stuff when it's so easy
to get most stuff free?

Pretty feisty for someone with a stopped-up kidney.

I guess you need to see if your mooring is dragging.

Trains are a winter sport

Smart Aleck! My mooring doesn't drag. I will be able to
use the new GPS while cruising the Bahamasin a month or
two.

I'll think about you snowed in up there in the hinterlands
playing with your trains and hoping for a thaw.

What was the highlight of your Christmas?

For me, the best bit was the whole family playing a silly word game, after
the dinner.

I do kendo and iaido, which have gotten unhappily popular since _The
Last Samurai_. Anyway, I've been wanting a new sword; I've lusted for
a couple of years for a blade by Fujiwara Kanefusa. His price is 2~2.5
million yen and creation time is pushing a year; but, Hey!, you only
live once. So, for this Christmas, I placed an order for a new sword!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Prepare to repel boarders!

My mapping Garmin mapping 76 was free (a gift), has a 3 year REPLACEMENT
warranty.
Sorry.

Smart Aleck! My mooring doesn't drag.

But your sense of humor and personality do!

After our friends left, Suzanne and I watched the Alistar Simm version of
Scrooge and fell asleep together...simple things are often the best.
