You could just drop your sail and you'd still be going. That's cool.



Just like Tom Sawyer going down the Mississippi . . .


Yes... I wonder if that's all a couple of people here can manage?

Like poor Bruce? LOL. He has to wait for the occasional Tsunami. Hey, I
heard Thailand just had a 7.0 RS earthquake. I hope it didn't wreck Bruce's
dock.

Willie-boy, you are positively amazing. To be frank I have never
witnessed anyone, on any news group, who so positively lusted to
expose his ignorance to so many, so often.

Apparently you have Thailand mixed up with Japan as Thailand
hasn't had a 7.0 earthquake in years. Myanmar (used to be called
Burma) just had one that's effect carried over to Chiang Rai. Rather
like an earthquake in East Overshoe, Vermont, and you prattling about
"Big earthquake in America".

As George Eliot once said, "blessed is the man who, having nothing to
say, abstains from giving us evidence of the fact."


Cheers,

Bruce
