No question that 7 footers do happen on LI Sound from time to time but
not that often, and almost certainly not within the last two weeks.
However, the waves *do* look bigger when you are floating in them and
looking up. I sometimes experience that effect running around in my
too low transomed inflatable in big water.

Surprising that Wayne doesn't have a high transomed inflatable to go
with his overinflated ego and floating Winnebago.

Wow, now Wayne's a 'bad guy' too, Harry?

Soon it will be just you and you know who. Everyone else will be
'filtered'!

Poor Herring. His life here apparently is aimed at getting a rise out of
me. He's been no more successful at that than he's been with his dick.

Actually, Harry, both of my kids talk to me.

Is your discussing my dick considered a 'foible'?

Don, does your association with this make you proud?

Right on cue. So you are now officially "you know who" by your own
admission.

And how's your mom doing, Don? Did you ever take her out to dinner? Have
you ever taken her fishing? With that new boat, I'll bet she'd love to go!

John...are you smoking crack cocaine?
My mom will be 93 in two months... she's pretty well confined to a
wheelchair now...time to leave her alone.
You have sick people in your family that I wouldn't think of stooping so low
as to use them to make a point or an opportunity to jab at someone.
