Re: [Paddlewise] Do I need Help?

Well...I don't follow strange kayaks, but I have to admit, it's usually
only because I don't have the time to do it.  My daughter thinks I'm a
nutcase, because every time I pass a car with a kayak on it I cry out
"Kayak!"  If I pass a car that has racks, but no kayaks in the racks, I
cry out "Yak rack!"    She also thinks it's very strange that I say
"hello" to my kayak when I drive into the garage.

Now - do we take the opinion of a punk kid as gospel, or do we make our
own decisions?  Personally, I think that you and I are both PERFECTLY
sane.  And if anyone else disagrees, I don't especially want to hear from
them.
