November 12th - Becalmed, bothered and bewildered (another riff on another song) and other last-ditch efforts

Whatever happened to a man standing on his own two feet? Arrogance is a proper attribute of a real man. One is arrogant because one is strong and knows he has what it takes to succeed and lives life accordingly and recognizes the weakness that causes lesser men to tuck tail and run without making a stand. Those who decry arrogance, or any other manly virtue for that matter, are girly-men who have a liberal bent which bent is all about the self-imposed emasculation. Such as these do not have what it takes and they know it. To feel better about themselves, instead of trying to improve their own lot and becoming more manly, they attempt dress in panties and skirts those who exhibit manly attributes.

I think the arrogance is the lack of success and the jealousy of the others out there doing, instead of sitting around thinking about it. I shall have none of it! You never had any of it. I have watched your rants and can only say that you are a durned good troll. Leanne |

Such as these do not have No Willy, you have this one wrong too. Confidence is one (of many) proper attribute of a man. One is confident when he recognizes his knowledge and ability to function. Confidence is not necessarily a lack of fear, any more than bravery is not necessarily a lack of fear. It is recognizing the knowledge that he can and will succeed. Bravery is recognizing any fear, and making oneself move ahead in spite of that fear. Arrogance on the other hand is no manly virtue. It is for those girly men who have to hide the fact they have no confidence. They bluster and blow and call others names to try to erect a smoke screen to hide the scared, unsure little boy inside themselves from being found out. In some arrogant girly-men, such as yourself, they have to tell lots of lies about supposed accomplishments to make themselves out to be much more than they know they will ever be. We recognize those lies because the arrogant girly-man telling them rarely gets his information right. Have a nice day Red |

I shall have none of it! Wilbur Hubbard You write an interesting response Wilbur. Facinating that you see personal arrogance & lashing out at others as virtues to be valued. Most, Wilbur, see these actions and attributes as those of one with a weak character & no-doubt shows a man who sees himself as lacking & afraid that others will discover it. It is a weak man who is never able to admit any shortcomings & the sign of a real man who is confident enough that he is willing to show some of his flaws. Glenn. |

I agree with Rosalie, one has to look at more than one source to have any
confidence in a forecast and even then there willl always be some uncertainty. I recall going from 1st to 2nd reef in a building NE breeze few miles off Sandy Hook while the Mt. Holly NOAA forecast was still predicting "5 to 10 and variable" conditions for that end of the Jersey coast. At the "local conditions" part of the same broadcast they were also reporting 18 gusting to 22 at Ambrose, so there was a total disconnect in the info being sent out over the airwaves. These VHF reports can be misleading due to the wide area of coverage and "other factors too numerous to mention" but I'd hate to be without them. If one has access to the internet the forcaster's "Area Forecast Discussion" link on NOAA websites is *extremely* valuable in giving a good view of what the individual forecaster is actually looking at when he or she distills a huge amount of information from diffent sources and models down to the few words that are then sent out to the public. There is always some, and sometimes a huge amount of uncertainty implied in these laudably honest discussions -- but the official public forecast seldom relects this except in very general terms. Scott "Rosalie B." wrote in message snip When I do the weather for the Chesapeake using NOAA (which certainly DOES apply to that area), I often find that their forecasts are wrong, either in wind direction or wind intensity and sometimes both. The thing that you have to do it to really understand what the forecasts are based on, and that takes a bit of time. snip |
