There's a Ducati motorbike dealership near me that seems to specialize
in high-end racer-type machines. I had no clue they made air-cooled
diesels, the last one of which I heard of in a private yacht being the
Lister, I believe, and you rarely see them, although I believe they
were reliable "big iron", like Ford Lehman and Perkins..

The dude schooner Shenandoah, out of Vineyard Haven MA, uses a Lister
Diesel each morning to hose the pine decks with salt water, charge the
batteries, and wake the passengers.

It is very effective in the third task. I don't think a dead passenger
would be impervious. :-)

faith-based economics, faith-based law

defense.
What's next? Faith-based air traffic control?
