We provide, you decide: http://i21.photobucket.com/albums/b2...0/cfaea07b.jpg Since you have your camera at the ready, how about a photo of that 36' Zimmerman like lobster boat. I'd bet I'm not the only one that would find it odd that you take pictures of every mundane aspect of your life, EXCEPT that elusive lobster boat. Krause should have taken the opportunity I gave him to take a total loss on the elusive 36' Zimmerman like Lobsta' boat when Ivan rolled up the bay a few years ago.- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - One poster several years ago offered to match any amount Krause wanted to deposit up to a maximum of $100,000 each. The money, up to $200,000 total, was to be held by a mutually agreeable, bonded escrow agent. All Krause had to do to win $200,000 was to proved he owned a Lobster boat. Krause crawfished. |

When they sense danger, the crawfist retreats backwards into hiding (as in beating a hasty retreat in a cowardly manner). |

But you have to remember, most of these folks are not Ivy League educated. The college grads here mostly went to well- regarded state universities, which, while not in the Ivy League category, probably are better than having gone to somwhere in, say ... Kansas. |
