Oh yes this thread is a favorite Canadian commodity and past
time for discussion especially as we head into the Winter months.
It has been a topic of intrigue even on the other List Server
and served as a wonderful distraction from the bantering
and ranting over sponsons and the Sponson Man. But all kidding
aside the thread does evoke some good humor as far away as
NewZeland and Australia who are known to be Large Importers
of Canadian Ballast Rocks  %^) Would the state of Texas be interested
John Winters can has the best prices as he sits on the Precambrian
Shield. %^) Come on Ky, have some fun with this bud.

We all get the same volume of traffic on the subject and I have
accepted the wonderful technique of exercising my delete
finger and the topic mysteriously goes away if I am no longer
humored by it. Sure beats the sponson rants, lest we forget?

Best Regards,


Philip
Next to the Continental Divide where the specific gravity of
the Rocky Mountains make them too heavy to serve as Ballast Rocks
as they would sink a Kayak. Then you would need sponsons for sure.
