"A letter by George Washington portraying Halifax as a fate worse than

True in 1776. True now.

I knew you'd enjoy that link. We've come a long way since then.

We just couldn't keep the snobby Bostonians in the style they had become
accustomed to! Halifax was a garrison town/naval port....no place for lace
hankies.

Maybe you can also post a link to an article Washington wrote about how ugly
the women were and how stupid the men were in Hellifux. We know those
things to be true today.

I thought you weren't going to insult me anymore. You have trouble keeping
your word? Is this a common trait in Cleveland?

Good point. I wonder what Cleveland was in 1776? A place where the
Indians took a crap before heading out on the lake?

First of all I did not insult you.

Secondly I guess you forgot.....I offered a truce, which you promptly
rejected.

Understand or should I explain it to you again?

Indeed it was an Indian habitat in 1776. The Erie, Chippewa, Ottawa and
Delaware tribes made their home here.

Cleveland is now home to world renowned and first class medical providers,
fine arts museums, colleges, sports teams and amusement parks. It is
located on the southern shores of Lake Erie, providing boating, fishing and
swimming activities. Additionally it is the home of the Rock and Roll Hall
of Fame and has often been listed as one of the top 100 places to live.

You and Harry are obviously quite ignorant about what Cleveland has to
offer. But that is not unexpected. ;-)

Washington was a gentlemen farmer from Virginia, he wasn't of the Boston

I would guess that even a pig farmer from the US would have found Halifax to
be as G. Washington described.

I doubt that much has changed....evidence: Don White

I did not reject any such thing. As a matter of fact I let your bad
advice on the electrical cord pass without any comment other than to refer
you to the correct info. That was an opportunity to throw **** your way if
I felt so inclined. I think you enjoy jabbing at people. So be it.

Didn't say Washington was a lace hanky guy...I was referring to the
'loyalists' who left with the British evacuation of Boston, but found life
here a bit too rough. Most loyalists did quite well...swelling the
population of Nova Scotia to the point where the province was split in two.
The western side was named New Brunswick. The ancestors on my maternal
grandmothers side were loyalists from New York.

You most certainly did, and you know it.

Regardless, I will offer yet another truce to you.

Agree?

out of control.

At this point I feel you are either a liar or suffering from some condition

be pointless to try to reach any agreement with you

That is now the second truce I have offered to you that you have rejected.
No more.

I am not surprised. You indeed fit right in to the typical profile of the

I thought Krause killfiled me.....at least he has repeatedly claimed to have
done so. He has also obsessed with me, as evidenced by his reply to a post
of mine.

I can also recall him stalking me and my family over the internet.

Krause is indeed a sick puppy.

Don't let yourself fall victim to the same mental illness Don.

We will be getting a boat in about 6 or 7 years when we buy our retirement
house on the water. Until then we are taking a break from boat ownership.

Last year we were out on the water on friends boats a dozen or so times. I
expect the same this coming season.

Thanks for asking.

here when you were boatless.

At least you are consistent in one endeavor........consistently wrong.

Fine. Let me know when you get up to 25 years of boat ownership. Then we
can talk.

Sounds good. Solomons is a little place where the Patuxent River meets
the Chesapeake Bay. It's an island only by virtue of a large ditch and
small bridge, but it's nice and close to some pretty good fishing on
the Bay.

Hope it all works.

I won't be able to afford water frontage unless it's well up the

I'm considering a house inland with the boat in a marina close to the
mouth of the Patuxent.

100 years old at the time.
