Someone recently asked for information about the Suwannee River in south
GA. I just happened upon this site: http://www.canoe-suwannee.com/
which seems pretty informative.

The water levels section says that the river is pretty boney right now,
which isn't surprising, as Georgia has been in a drought for several
months. 

Bouce fabric softener sheets are dynamite against the no-see-ums, if you
head down there.

I stick one in my hat and let it hang down around the edges. Gives a
very Legion Etranger look. You can also wipe youself down with one. Only
the exposed skin; gnat teeth aren't long enough to go through most
fabric.

That reminds me of the following joke:
"I'm getting a goat for a pet."
"But you live in an apartment. What about the smell?"
"He'll just have to get used to it."
