Careful what you might invite. Years ago I worked with a guy who parked his car on the street in Manhattan. To avoiding having his windows smashed by thieves looking to take something, he decided to keep his car doors very noticeably unlocked. The car had no radio, nothing in the glove compartment, nada. He thought his anti-theft idea was very clever and boasted about it around the office. One day he came in looking none too happy. Seems he got to his car in the morning to find that several people had decided to party in it overnight. They eat greasy chicken, drank beer and threw bones, chicken skin and condoms all over the place. Probably because it was a rainy night, they also skipped answering calls of nature outside and defecated in the car. If you leave TP pasted all over your roof racked kayak, maybe someone might think it alright to use your cockpit to add same. Imagine that!: a high up portasan with a view. :-) ralph diaz -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Ralph Diaz . . .
