Boats everywhere. It turned cold last week, which kept down a lot of the outdoor activities. 8" of snow at Donner Pass in the sierras.

The Georgia DNR reports that over Memorial Day weekend, boating on Lake Lanier was down 50%. We didn't go out at all this weekend. 1. wifes health 2. constant threat of rain. (which it did) 3. monster fuel prices 4. involved with Memorial Day services at church and at three cemeteries. July 4? Maybe |
