Don't know where the time went, but I hadn't checked the list for about 11 days and there were 347 messages! As I read through them I had that nice, warm fuzzy feeling of satisfaction. Satisfaction that Uncle Ralph was out there dispensing his wealth of knowledge, that our Israeli friend is suffering withdrawal (yes, kayak buying is addictive), that Matt Broze is straightening out a few things, and that Jackie didn't jump all over Duane for posting jokes - even if they were semi-on-topic. Fascinated by the Dr. Lindemann info (still haven't read his book) and the details on Chris Duff's trip interruption. Oh, and I couldn't wait to check out the "Condoms for Covers" thread :) If you want to contact me and be sure that I see it within a short period of time, please use sandykayak_at_aol.com. I finally got someone to scan the picture of Ralph and me at the Downtown Boathouse. I need a volunteer to post it for me. I also need a chubby P'wiser to pay me a visit. These tall, skinny guys MAKE ME LOOK FAT. I just happen to be vertically and horizontally challenged:) Bottom line: couldn't bear to unsubscribe. Oh, well, only 120 left. Sandy Kramer in Miami who has just put away her "winter clothes" (one sweater, one fleece jacket, and a fleece cape I use to walk the doggies early in the morning), and has started wearing her summer clothes. The water is still too chilly, though. *************************************************************************** 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/ ***************************************************************************
