[Paddlewise] Top of the World

"You should read some of the Australian kayaking club newsletters.


Australian male kayakers seem very aggressive and make rude comments in


print about fragile female egos and women who can't keep up with their


superior paddle pace. On second thought, maybe you should move down there!"


That should really be "...maybe you should move up here!" Many maps
unfortunately follow the Northern Hemisphere to the top convention. There is
just as much to be said for the reverse, and the Australian Geographic Society
can supply you with a world map oriented this way.


BTW, feminist thought police are everywhere, even up here. You'd better look
like a sensitive new age guy, or your reproductive opportunities will be
limited.


(Just kidding, but let's see what flak this draws!)





Regards,


PT
