and on the non-paddling side, larry, some years ago, i picked up an
expression of "st. bliven's day" meaning, "never" as in "i doubt i'll get
it done before st. bliven's day" ... i picked it up from a friend, who got
it from a grand parent... is there some kind of truth/history behind that,
of which you are aware??
==============
well mark, what can i say,

st. bliven's day is news to me. however, sounds like someone could have
been talking to my wife. i'm going paddling... painting can wait... clean
what up? when?

as for dragonflies... a few years ago while driving across the bay/bridge
tunnel at Norfolk va, i watched a huge swarm of monarch butterflies make
the ~25 mile open water crossing at the mouth of the chesapeake bay... does
that count?

i'm still trying to have a bird land on either my canoe or kayak while
afloat. i think that baiting them might help. anyone had success at that?

bye bye bliven
