What would we do without our Overlord of the Unknown Universe?

Didn't you clean out your refrigerator on this date last year?

A can of cat food, an old frozen burrito...what else would one find in
the Galactic Emperor's fridge?

Hey ... just to make your day ...

As I type, I am listening to the marine radio. The Army Corp of Engineers
patrol boat just nailed a 52 footer transitting the Cape Cod Canal for
excessive wake. The operator claimed to be doing under the speed limit (10
kts), but they still got him for excessive wake.

Sometimes in the canal it's almost impossible not to make a wake, other than
waiting until slack tide to transit. The current can run as high as 7 knots
(although usually its more like 4-5 at the worst time). If you try to
transit against the current, you can leave quite a wake, even though you are
barely making any headway.

BTW ... the guy got a written warning.

Waterboard the SOB!

I was wondering what the Corps was doing, since I haven't seen any
evidence of their waterway work for about 15 years. Glad they still have
something to do.

Obviously, you couldn't properly function in polite society.

Um...no.

Being The One True Universal Galactic Overlord, I have minions do that
for me.

I saw a tug moving up the Canal yesterday on the way home that was
making quite a wake.

I wonder if they warned him?


Doubtful.
