Unlike the political whores, I went boating this weekend.
Took the boat up to Lake Oroville, Calif. Ramp is about as steep as the
boating mishap ramp, except is about 1000' longer. Lake is down about 60' so can not get all the way up to Feather Falls, but still 4-500' of water in the lake. Did a little fishing, watched a great 4th fireworks show on the lake. All the houseboats line the dam area, for the fireworks, eliciting the comment from a nearby spectator "Holy ****! look at all those lights. Looks like Las Vegas". Weather was warm, in the high 90's and stayed hot until about 1 am. Did a little fishing, caught a few bass, and couple of silver salmon. Boat has had a small leak that I have not been able to find. Well, pulling the boat on the 5th, the leak showed itself. Small 1/8" size corrosion hole in the lower part of the anchor locker. Epoxied for Tuesday boating. Will have to see if more corrosion, was round like, a small piece of copper wire, or something fell in the locker. 0.190" thick aluminum. All in all a great weekend, with my wife, a queen among wives. The Feather river was giving up some spring run king salmon, but too hot to fish for them. Spent a lot of time swiming. Bill |

So you have asserted, on more than one occasion. But I seem to recall someone observing here that those who _do_ possess (and use) superior writing skills do not make claims about those same skills, as you do. On the one hand, however, there is something oddly fascinating about the way a certain element here seems obsessed with details of your personal life and possessions--and your willingness to keep them engaged at the cost of the newsgroup. On the other hand, I suspect you are unable (or unwilling) to distinguish between writing that is grammatically and syntactically correct and that which conveys a worthwhile message. If your definition of "good" writing is the former, I think a reasonable person would be hard put to find much fault with yours. If the latter--well, that is another matter altogether.

But I seem to recall someone observing here that those who _do_ possess (and use) superior writing skills do not make claims about those same skills, as you do. So? What's your point? That one of the pack of right-wing buttwipers here took a swipe at me? What else is new? On the one hand, however, there is something oddly fascinating about the way a certain element here seems obsessed with details of your personal life and possessions--and your willingness to keep them engaged at the cost of the newsgroup. It's amazing, isn't it? As for keeping them engaged, I really don't give a crap what they think, say, or do. Even if they think I do. On the other hand, I suspect you are unable (or unwilling) to distinguish between writing that is grammatically and syntactically correct and that which conveys a worthwhile message. Sorry, but I think spelling, grammar and syntax are important when one is trying to express an idea. In the world of words, and that is, after all, what usenet is, eh, the quality of your writing speaks to the quality of your thinking. Way back when, in the Dark Ages, when I was in college, my better professors also said, one way or another, "prove" what you know or what have learned by writing a paper on this, that, or the other. And spelling and grammar counted. If your definition of "good" writing is the former, I think a reasonable person would be hard put to find much fault with yours. If the latter--well, that is another matter altogether. Good writing is good writing. If you want to write like this.... my father moved through dooms of love through sames of am through haves of give, singing each morning out of each night my father moved through depths of height ....then you better be as talented as e.e. cummings. |
