This may be off topic (LOL) but does anyone have a favorite brand of very
cold water/airtemp paddling gloves. I bought a pair of Marmot
windproof/water resistant gloves this week..and froze the instant they got
wet. Is neoprene the best...etc? I also have super lightweight
pogies/mambas...so coupled with something else thinner and with tacky grip
may be my goal? Thanks in advance...this group always has the best advice
as usual....Dan O

Let me be among the first to complain about your bringing up a paddling
question in a paddling newsgroup. I live in Florida so I have no idea
about paddling gloves, I just wanted to make sure you were severely
reprimanded.

OK....guys! They must not only keep my hands warm and dry on the way to
church...or out planting trees...but I also need the dexterity to load and
fire my Bushmaster .223 (30 round clips) ...Is that better Galen??

No. You need to use them for politics too, somehow. Besides, you mention
using them going to church. That isn't hardly enough. Which church? And
how did the congregation vote?

I meant to go to church to vote...my new polling place is in a local free
church (it was NOT free...they asked for money!)...ministered by a gay woman
(imagine her ordeal this year!) On the other hand...I never checked the
authenticity of the notice to switch the precinct polling place....hmm...did
I mention..I live in a "BLUE STATE" (MN)? I wonder if the Gay Christian
Community...stole the vote..and this state should have been Red? In any
case...I still need a decent pair of paddle gloves without starting a
collection of near-misses. Thanks....DanO

Then start a thread about paddling...

Actually, I've never seen a 'religion' kill anyone, zeolots do though.

I doubt it. That sounds like it involves either work or thinking, and I'd
rather just sit here and thoughtlessly complain.

As long as we are picking nits, what the hell is a "zeolot"?

See, that's why it's easy to reply to anything.

As long as we're nitpicking, maybe you could be our on-line spell checker,
or are you serious about not knowing what a zealot is?

Again, that sounds like it might involve either work or thinking, I don't
do those. And actually, I don't believe real "religious zealots" are doing
much of any killing. I think it is being done by warped people (who knows
for what reason) in the name of religion. I think real religious zealots
are pretty scarce, and I doubt you or I have ever even heard of any of
them. I think there are some real fruitcakes (to put it mildly) running
around doing all kinds of things in the name of "religion." They are often
characterized by the popular press as being some kind of "religious
zealot," but that doesn't really mean that they are, by any means. I'm no
expert on this at all, but I have heard of folks that believe (religiously)
that they can hasten what they call the "end times," so in a sense that
religion might actually kill people.
