The people on it who speak about Depleted Uranium, which is not even a bomb, let alone a dirty bomb and uranium is the last substance that you would use for a dirty bomb since it extremely weakly radioactive .. what the trash talkers fail to tell you is that a half-life of 4.5 billion years means that it is so weakly radioactive that half of the isotope decays to lead in 4.5 billion years, the age of the Earth. Polonium, on the other hand, the 210 isotope is believed to have killed the former Russian Agent in London, has a half-life of 21 days. That type of radioactive substance is deadly. The anti-DU crusade began when Saddam wanted out from under the UN Sanctions that ended the Gulf War and he wanted to make the US/UK look like the real ogres -- the "peace movement" that visited Iraq before the fall of Baghdad bought into this; they were shown horrific pictures of supposed defective child birth monstrosities which still circulate around the net. They have no connection to DU other than that you are told that they do. For some real facts about DU, go to DUStory at Yahoo Groups.com or write me .. I will send you links to factual articles .from all over go see what real scientists have to say instead of activists who just pretend to be scientists or scientists who decided activism trumped science.

I know it's being picky, but could someone rename this thread
something like survivalist training or other-poster bashing (yes, I realize that I can fit into that hole, too, but it's not what the title sez)? For the record, and for the title, we're in the Sassafras River just above the bascule bridge, and are heading south today after doing a very thorough scrub in fresh water and a bunch of minor maintenance. I was going to go up the mast yesterday but, wouldn't you know, up came the wind, and I'd wanted to strip the sails first. Plenty of time in the next couple of weeks.... Off to the boat show and local touring. We'd stop in Balto on the way but have had enough folks tell us that time is of the essence if we want to anchor that we will do that by land or post-show. All is well (see Lydia's log for excitements with the cat) with all aboard; Lydia's mom is spoiling us and I'm gaining back the weight I lost! I'll have a log posting soon; right now I need to get the dink up and get moving on what should be an ideal sailing day.

ups.com: Lydia's mom is spoiling us and I'm gaining back the weight I lost! Good! You were awful skinny, despite my attempts to fatten you up on buffet foods. Larry -- Skinny people **** me off.... I was trying to do situps at a health club I belonged to many years ago. AT my awful weight, at the time before I moved to Iran and lost 120 pounds, I could do about 3. Some smartassed, SKINNY kid mocked me..... "Whoa, sport. How many can you do?" He could do them for hours, of course, only lifting 40# of body and head each time. "Now, let's go over to the scale.", I offered. I lay on the floor and he weighed my trunk and head. Then I weighed his same parts, the part you had to lift to do a situp. From the scale, we went to the weight rack and picked up two 50# and one 10# weight. Back at the situp bench, I had him lay on his back to do a situp, then took a strap and tied 110# of dead weight on top of his chest, to equal what I was sitting up with. Of course, Little Skinny couldn't even lift his back off the bench it was being jammed into...turning HIM into ME. Damned Skinny smartasses.......(d^ ![]() |

Wilbur Hubbard Hi, Wilbur, I note that this newsgroup is called rec.boats.cruising. I also note that none of the thousands of posts you make say anything about your cruising, let alone what places you've been or what cruising attempts or work you've accomplished in, say, the last 5 years. I, on the other hand, have regularly posted the work I've done to go, and once gone, where I've gone and how I did it. Your turn...
