>From the simple question of "What is the gunk in Gatorade?" I have compiled a list, in no particular order of TheAnswers....... This is not for the faint of heart or more aptly the weak stomached! - Basic Building Block of Life. (Wow!) - Primordial Slime. (I understand slime) - A Nematode.(Ya telling me I drank a worm that one time?) - A Fungal hyphae ( Whatever the heck that is.... shiver.....) - Food Spoilage Mould. (Supposedly that is not harmful. Yeah right, my wifey will believe that!) Since this is a FamilyForum, Last buy not least.... - GatorGunk ( BigTimeShudder! ).... Do they get this from the Gator Farms? How do they collected the Gunk? What is the life expectancy of a GatorGunkCollector? Various, Frightening pictures are running through my mind about this...... 8-) I think I'll stick to water..... 8-) Dan McCarty, Gatorade Free in '99 *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.gasp-seakayak.net/paddlewise/ ***************************************************************************

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. cya -----Original Message----- From: owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net [mailto:owner-paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net] On Behalf Of dmccarty_at_us.ibm.com Sent: Friday, April 30, 1999 12:06 PM To: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subject: Re: [Paddlewise] Gatorade Gunk/Yum Yum/Ain't This Special! >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.

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.

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...

Two Georges, Wow, thats a name from the past! Right next to the Banana Boat. Used to sneak into the Ol' B. Boat when I was underage to get drinks. There and Bostons in Delray. Course the legal age for booze was 18/19 at the time! 8-) I was down there last Xmas visiting friends, went down Atlantic Ave, and walked on the beach. Really was kinda wierd. Amazing how much the place has changed but also how much had not changed. To still see Bostons with a large crowd and loud music was very, very strange. Almost like I had never left...... The pizza place, I think was named Village Pizza, was on Congress and Boynton Beach Blvd. It was in the Publix shopping center on the south west corner. The pizza place was next to a Radio Shack. I used to work there right after High School, Atlantic Community H.S. GO WAR EAGLES! 8-) I ate mucho pizza from that place. They had a Mexican pizza that was really good. They used to send us pies that people had not picked up! What a Perk! 8-) They would tell us to crank up the music after we had closed and they provided the pizza. Course the Hallmark store did not really appreciate the finer aspects of Molly Hatchet and The Who played at loud levels. But what more can you expect out of 18 year olds after hours in a stereo shop? 8-) The owner at the time, was a women, who I think believed she was a witch. A good witch I hope. Had garlic over the cash register, and some sign in Latin that was supposed to keep the Werewolves at bay. I opened a freezer once, I said I was there a lot! 8-), and there was a frozen frog inside..... 8-) Hopefully not used as part of the Mexican Pizza...... One of the things that blows my mind is how much water was around me and I did not have a clue about sea kayaks. When I think of all of the opportunities to paddle down there I just wanna cry. I lived there for close to 10 years..... 8-( Are you on the IC or there abouts. I take it your not out west in what used to be cow pastures? At the time we lived in Gulfview Harbour just on the otherside of 95. Was way out west at the time.... Even the canals around the old house would have been fun to paddle in. No traffic to speak off and you could go for quite a while to get some good excercise...... Sigh.... Later...

My neighborhood is called Trade Winds (built in the 50s) is on the ICWW and I paddle from there to Lake Worth and South to Deerfield on day trips. There's lots of great places to paddle within an hour's drive and the ocean only 10 minutes. I usually put in on the North side of Delray Beach. The strange thing is that there are very few paddlers in the area. I met Chuck Landis on the list and I know one other paddler and that's it! The Banana Boat is still there but they are pretty yupified. I've been that Radio Shack MANY times!
