So what do the town fathers in Webster think about you doing speed
trials on their nice little lake?

Well, considering that a couple of local ocean racers use that
particular pond for testing their 42 foot 1200 horsepower super
charged racing boats, not much. :)

Bozos. Next thing you know you'll have 5 mph Manatee zones.

What I want to know is how do you fit

"Lake Chargoggagoggmanchauggagoggchaubunagungamaugg"

on the transom of your boat?

I thought my mapping software was broken when I saw that.

That's where my parents honeymooned a few years back, I had to learn
to spell it once when I was young to get an ice cream cone from dad.
Apparently the indians were fighting over fishing rights in the lake
from both sides long ago and they made an agreement:
"You fish on your side, I fish on my side, no one fishes the middle".
That's what the indian name of the lake means, or so I was told. Looks
very nice, I have never been there.

It's a fable - the name is Nipmuc for neutral fishing grounds or
something like that.

Webster Lake is interesting because it's believed that there are four
seperate ponds and at one time had four seperate eco systems. If you
look at a map of the lake, there are three narrows seperating North,
Middle and South Ponds and Smith's Cove where Indian Ranch resort and
concert hall are. There is evidence that the Nipmucs connected the
North and Middle ponds early on and the second was opened by a flood.

It's a fun place to boat. It's also deadly. When I was on the
Regional Dive Team, over ten years, we did eleven or so body
recoveries on that lake from boat accidents.

Nah. But the increase in fuel prices has convinced me that Big Oil and
refiners need to be under citizen oversight, and that individuals who
use tremendous amounts of petrol resources for their own pleasure should
pay an additional penalty on top of the high prices for their fun, and
the moneys collected via the penalty be used to subsidize essential
petrol use by the poor.

That might be so if any of the funds were going to relieve our reliance
on petrol, but they are not. We're just getting ripped off.

Yawn.

Last I knew, there were about seven "generally accepted" legal accounting
practices.
Within the limits imposed by law, businesses routinely adopt that one that
best serves the interest of the business .... often changing from reporting
period to reporting period as situations and markets change. Nothing wrong
or illegal about doing that ... it's prudent and responsible to do so in the
best interests of the stockholders. To do otherwise may land you in jail,
especially now-a-days.

Well, in Green People Land, which is just north of Fucia People Land,
we can account very well.

We can account on our fingers, toes, extremities and occasionally
internal organs.
