And Downtime, I may take you up on that, end up in Clearwater every
couple of years, keep telling my bud that one day I'm going to drag a
boat down with me;)
Wait till Tom moves to The Carolinas, and pick him up on the way to Florida.
He just might take along his boat.

Humm 15 hours without saying something stupid and getting thrown from
the truck? Ummmmm, well see;)



Not to worry. At Tom's age, a few years in the heat of South Carolina,
and what is left of his brain will turn to pudding.

Gulla, Geechee, and low country cuisine will restore anything that has
been lost...... what a WONDERFUL part of the world!

Love the Low Country.

Just spent two days down there.

Why would anyone fish down south is beyond me. Warm water, fish taste

Yeah, I agree. The only way to fish is to freeze your ass off all of
the time. The only true fishing is in the dead of winter, and that
consists of sitting in your house next to the stove dreaming of it.
I've lived in that crap, and I've lived in the south, give me the
south ANYTIME. You really should broaden your horizons!

I spent a lot of time in Lincoln County Tenn, then lived for a while
around Hunstvull, Scottsboro, Boaz Ala.. Lived in a couple of spots in
Fla, and a few other places a little more west which we won't go
into;) I have broader horizions than most, having hitched all over
this great country for a good part of my youth...;) But this is still
my home, the leaves this year are the best ever, spent the day out
with dad and the girls playing with horsies and taking pictures,
playin' guitar.. I love it.


I did just about the same as you. The leaves are starting to change
here, also, except I don't have to sit out in freezing weather to
enjoy them. I sat on the deck by the pool, did some reading, the kids
went down to the creek to play, all in t-shirts and shorts. I always
hated the cold, even as a kid. I had snowmobiles, even raced some,
went skiing, sledding, etc. but never ever liked the dreary dark
winter.

Jim, have you found any laws, or treaties that states that because you
live in the proximity of a given body of water, that you own rights to
it, and only those who live near it? As a curious sort, I'd really
like to know where you've gotten that information. And that makes some
questions arise:
What IS the proximity? 2 miles? 5 miles?
What about the people who live near the streams, etc. that feed the
Great Lakes? Given how the water came from their area, wouldn't they
be the real owners of the water, using your analogy?
Which of the great lakes gets the first right of refusal for the
water? There is a flow, so you'd have to wonder.

Growing up in New Haven, I used to enjoy winter and its cold. Went ice
skating at an outdoor lake several times week, sledding when the snow
cooperated, and walking through 2' of snow to get to my grammar school
or junior high. Snow days in those days were rare; we went to school no
matter what. I remember when I was about seven years old, we had one
hell of a snowstorm, and my mom called Mayor Celentano and asked him to
shut off to traffic or plowing a big hill next to where we lived, so the
kids would have a safe place to sled. Darned if he didn't do just that!

Nowadays, I don't much like it real cold.

Nah - he's under the east wing of Giants stadium.

I can't find it at this moment, but I have a picture at home of an
expedition to some place in the Atlantic Basin off the Continental
shelf in about a bizillion feet of water of a six pack of Bud just
sitting on the bottom.

I've heard stories of deep ROVs finding all kinds of stuff on the
bottom in really deep water.

Wouldn't those cans implode from the pressure? I imagine they'd be flat as
a pancake.

Don, nowhere does that "comment" address my questions. JimH stated
that no one is entitled to the water but people living in proximity to
the lakes, and that is hogwash. Maybe the millions upon millions of
people that live near the watersheds that supply the great lakes
should divert THEIR water, then sell it! The lakes are supplied by a
very large area.

As I said before... Canada's concern would be for the US to dig a series of
canals/tunnels whatever to divert massive amounts of water to dry southern &
south western states.... altering the Great Lakes in the process. Anyone
diverting the natural catchment area would affect those lakes..... we're
with JimH on this one.

Reading some of the pages and agreements here, this group seem to be
as interested in using the lake as a focal point for local business,
as they are with keeping the water clean, safe, and uesable. When I
started to read about the trip they took to South America, I said to
myself, how would that help them save the lake, then I saw they were
there promoting local business, not saving the lake. As to the Sierra
club, well....
