RE: [Paddlewise] Gatorade Gunk/Yum Yum/Ain't This Special!

So which Pizza Parlor in Boynton Beach? I live on the Delray/Boynton line.
BTW, they've torn the bridge down and are re-building it at the moment.
Chuck and I often paddle from my house past the former bridge (and Two
Georges) to the inlet and back which is a nice 8 mile paddle.

		>Dan McCarty, Gatorade Free in '99
		|            Curious coincidence:  Dan McCarty was a well
respected
		|Commissioner of Agriculture in Florida years ago, and one
of the College
		of
		|Agriculture Buildings at Univ. of Florida is named after
him.  I recollect
		|taking a Bacteriology course in that building............

		There are a few of us around, I'm the FOURTH in my linage.
I'm sure I'm
		somehow related to the other Dan McCarty just not sure how.
I think the Ag
		Commissioner later became Governor of FL, this was back in
the 50s.
		Unfortunately he died within a month or two of getting
elected.  My father,
		the Third, went to school in Ft. Pierce, Fl, at a High
School named after
		the late Governor.  So DearDad went to a school that bore
his name.  Pretty
		cool.

		I was born in Orlando, Fl, before it became
TheGreatTouristTrap but Dan II
		was from Indiana.  Weird thing happened to me, well about 15
years ago.
		Time does fly!  I lived in Boynton Beach, Fl, which is
between West Palm
		Beach and Ft. Lauderdale and near just one or two other list
members.  One
		afternoon I had to run and get pizza.  For some strange
reason I put on an
		old football jersey that had my last name on the back.  I
had not worn the
		shirt in 10 years or so and have not worn it since.  When I
was in the
		pizza place a guy walked up to me, said he could not help
but notice the
		name on the shirt and introduced himself as Dan McCarty....
<Play Twilight
		Zone Music>

		As I remember it he was related to the Governor.

		If I had not put on the Jersey we never would have met.  Two
ships, errrr,
		kayaks passing in a pizza parlour, so to speak...  8-)

		BTW, I did get the right pizza order!  8-)

		Since everyone is bored to tears about my family heritage
I'll just add
		another tid bit.  Dan III always tells me that we had Indian
Blood and
		Horse Thieves in the family.  He would say it in jest but
years ago I found
		out that Billy the Kid's, Mother's maiden name, with me so
far?, was
		McCarty.  She appears to have arrived in New York gone to
Kentucky and then
		out west.  I know the EarlyMcCarty's were coal miners in
Kentucky and later
		Indiana.  So DearDanIII may have been right after all.

		BTWII.  Billy the Kid really does have an interesting
history.  His life
		truly was just like many of the western movies.  He just
picked the wrong
		side in an economic/fighting war in New Mexico  The US Army
actually was
		brought in by the OtherSide in complete violation of Federal
Law.  The US
		Army actually fired into a building occupied by Billy's
faction.  The
		Governor of the Territory tricked TheKid into giving up at
one point just
		to quiet things down.  The Governor was busy writing Ben Hur
and one other
		famous novel whose name I have forgotten.  He did not want
to be bothered
		with what was going on in some parts of the Territory, he
just wanted to
		finish his books.

		Later...
		Dan McCarty
