Samuelson, perhaps?

Marina question
 

Do you mean Paul Sameulson who's theories were developed in the 1930 thru
the 70's. I read that crap in high school. A little outdated today. With
the fast paced changing economic situation. I prefer the winner of the Ig
Nobel Prize for Economics. Karl Schwaerzler. Who wants you to take over
Liechtenstein -- for your next convention, wedding or bar mitzvah. His big
plans for renting out the tiny country earned him an Ig Nobel Prize on
Thursday 10-03-2003 in an irreverent ceremony at Harvard University.

Nice try. You finished second in a two car race. Congratulations on your
second place victory.

Really. True story - I grew up a few miles from Harvard Square (he was actually at MIT)
and his second daughter was a classmate. The Samuelson's hosted an "after graduation"
party.

My favorite work of poetry is "The Cremation of Sam McGee." In an odd coincidence, it
was also my mother's favorite and we had both memorized it, unknown to the other. Many
years later we found ourselves quoting verses back and forth.

Also my favorite. I memorized it for a speech contest when I was in the
6th grade...and can still quote about 6 of the 16 verses.

I do not know how long in the snow I wrestled with grisly fear...
But the stars came out and they danced about ere again I ventured near.
I was sick with dread, but I bravely said, "I’ll just take a peep inside....
I guess he’s cooked, and it’s time I looked”--then the door I opened wide.

And there sat Sam, looking cool and calm, in the heart of the furnace
roar...
And he wore a smile you could see a mile, and he said: “Please close
that door.
It’s fine in here, but I greatly fear you’ll let in the cold and storm—
Since I left Plumtree, down in Tennessee, it’s the first time I’ve been
warm!"

There are strange things done in the midnight sun... :)

And then there's:

A bunch of the boys were whooping it up in the Malamute Saloon....


Not all of Service's poetry was macho tales of the Yukon. He wrote some
very tender ones...the one that sticks in my mind is called "My
Madonna." I can't remember a complete line of it, only that it's in
sharp contrast to what we've quoted above.

Vito wrote something like:

"If the marina want to make a profit on electricity he can,"

Not in Virginia he can't. Only licensed (read regulated) utilities can.
All others including marinas can only charge for their cost of the
electricity and a reasonable (defined by the state) cost to distribute
same. Which prompted, before the thread was lead into this stupid
discussion of co-op's, my original question. Does anyone know if in
Virginia this also applies to water (a utility) and garbage collection(a
gov't service, kind of a utility)? And while we're on it, do any other
states has similar restrictions?

Is $1.50 per foot the average price for transient berthing? Can you or
should you make reservations ahead of time?

Wow, I have to pay 25GBP per ft where I am :-s

Per day? For one day? Where?

grandma Rosalie

My mistake, sorry, no per year I meant - permanant mooring

Wow - that's a relief.

We pay less than $2000 per year for a 44 foot boat - actually it is
the charge per slip so it isn't really per foot. We'd pay the same
whether we had a 35 foot boat or a 50 foot boat. (Or course if we had
a 35 foot boat we'd fit in a smaller slip which would be less
expensive. Our slip is really too big for us, but we like it because
it has a full length dock on one side.)

That's roughly $45/ ft per year which is a little less than £27 so
that's not really out of line. If we had a bigger boat - say 50 feet-
which would fill out the slip better it would be $40 or £24.

???? HOW can it be cheaper in the US than in the islands where, I
believe, it's produced -- AND where there's a hefty tax on top of
shipping...????

It is cheaper in the States than in the Bahamas.


Doug: Could you check on a bottle and see where yours was produced?
Could this be a "produced under authority of...." type of thing?

And it is bottled in the Bahamas.
