My baby brother is a C.G. swimmer and did several of the Hawai'i B/W episodes. If you see some guy who's got my butt (and possibly some funny color hair), it's him. He pulled Branson and Fosset (and that other guy who wasn't rich) out of the drink when their balloon went down (don't get me started on what an unconscionable waste of money that whole thing was, and my little bro' risking his butt to save theirs) off HI on x-mas eve. They left their fabulous drysuits in the chopper and I was in line for one, until some lackey came by and got them. If I mentioned that before, forgive me another senior moment. I think paddlers in the Pacific NW are generally stronger, kinder, prettier, cleverer, and rear their young better than anybody else. And I'm sticking to that. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - All postings copyright the author and not to be reproduced outside PaddleWise without author's permission Submissions: paddlewise_at_lists.intelenet.net Subscriptions: paddlewise-request_at_lists.intelenet.net Website: http://www.paddlewise.net/ ***************************************************************************

And I'm sticking to that Thats because they have more cabin time to work out, practice kindness, doll themselves up, read, and chastise their children than those of us in the banana republics. We're too busy yakking, boating, fishing, camping, biking, canoeing, snorkling, and all the other things I cant think of..... Thats my story n I'm sticking to it!

Couldn't resist that one!
