Walker's Cay
 

Actually, I was happy to hear Walkers Cay got put
out of commission by a tropical storm. Serves them
right, I say. They were an uppity lot who catered
to rich motor yachtsmen and those ocean rapists who
call themselves *sport fishermen*.

Yah, some *sport* using million dollar pollution
machines to pillage marine life. They should be
SO proud of themselves.

It's good to see these rapists no longer have a
base of operations there to further despoil that
part of the ocean.

As an interesting aside, Walkers Cay was a favorite hangout of Richard
Nixon and his Miami buddy, B.B. Rebozo, when Nixon was US president.
It was one of the few places where he could get away from the press
corps.

Skippy, FYI, Windows Live Mail is no good
for Usenet. It doesn't know how to attribute
nor does it know how to trim sigs. You should
download a fee copy of XNews or some other simple
but real news client if you care about your readers
and in accurate attribution.

If you're going to partake in Usenet you should
endeavor to do so properly for the sake of your
readers and for the sake of your reputation.

How can anybody be taken seriously who ignores
the rules of the game?

No, it's not that. It's more the thought of how
those rich, hoity-toity *******s seem to be glorified
because their wallets are fat. Most, if not all, are
total assholes who seem to think they are entitled
to waste resources, pollute the air and water and
generally act like selfish jerks whose **** doesn't
stink that gets my goat.

And, so few others see them for what they are - selfish
rapists - but tend to view their extravagances as
something special, indicates to me that there are
a whole lot of asshole wannabes in this world as well.

It's a general corruption of common decency and I cannot
abide it. To me they are no better than that sick dentist
who killed that lion in the game preserve. Yah, big
brave hunters!

Hmmm... is that any different than these poor, hoity-toity *******s
glorifying because their wallets are thin?

Is it really any better to glorify oneself because he/she/it is a
total looser and lacks sufficient brain power or education (in a land
where education is essentially free) to earn a decent living? Or
alternately, is too lazy to work?

After all, the bulk of the U.S. "upper 10 percent" got there through
their own efforts, not through inheritance.

I can only assume that you one of those wild eyed vegetarians that
abhor eating fish, fowl and other "living things"?

I've always wondered abut y'all.Given all the evidence that Man is an
omnivores creature. Not only proved so by archeology but by witnessing
primitive societies which invariability eat everything that they can
get their hands on.

So what is the problem with a fisherman going to sea in a boat to
catch fish? After all, it has been going on as long as there have
been "man".

Or is it the luxury that you descry? The so obvious envy for someone
that can own a boat larger than a toy? And who actually uses it to go
somewhere and do something other than just squat there in their
floating trailer.

Um, are you dense? It's the sport in sport fisherman that
is offensive.

It's one thing for a commercial fisherman to make a living
catching and selling fish. It's another thing entirely to
make a *sport* about killing fish you don't even want to
eat. Sport fisherman are trophy fishing. They kill so they
can brag.

That is despicable behavior.

I intensely dislike WLM, attribution marks being only one of my peeves.

However, I have archives of this and my emails back to 1995, all one form or
another of *.eml.

Years ago I made a mistake in trying out Thunderbird or whatever it is that
Mozilla calls their client; I was unable to retrieve my mails back into this
format. Thus I'm reluctant to leave it.

If you have a translation program which would assure my ready retrieval (I
use search within the program to find stuff I know I have but not where it
is) of stuff from the past, without any loss of the thousands of archived
mails I have, I'm all ears.

As to my reputation, it's already worthless, so I'm not so much worried as
amused :{))

We hope to return to the Bahamas after a reunion of my national championship
crew (rowing) in October and travels to visit our far-flung almost-15
grandchildren. Then, back in May, for a reunion and honoring by the regatta
which serves as the small-college national finals, when we swept (Frosh, JV
and Varsity), and another grandkid swing, before heading back yet again...

Where do YOUR travels take you in the next year or so? Reluctantly, we've
had two Bahamas visits in 6 months (Bahamas interruptus); one was in a nice
NE breeze of 12-18 knots coming back in mid-September, as seen on our
tinyurl.com/flyingpigspotwalla (you'll have to adjust the date range by
clicking the arrow next to the name at the top of the page, to fit back to,
say, April of this year)...
