I was paddling on the Hudson just north of New York City and waiting on a beach for the currents to shift to favor me. An old fellow in a canoe came by, spotted me and came ashore. He had a cat with him which he carried on to shore. The thing didn't seem too happy. I noticed the cat was a bit wet and I asked the fellow what happened to the poor creature. It seems he always keeps his cat tethered to his canoe. the fellow hadn't noticed the cat had fallen overboard and was being dragged along underwater by the tether! No, John, Dana, et al...he was not trolling for catfish. ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
