Re: [Paddlewise] Kayaker's guilt (was:Jet Ski Ban Proposal - Ind

You haven't addressed the noise   pollution of jet skies  though. Cars
remain on land, it is possible to escape them. As I said in my earlier post,
what is so difficult to fathom about setting aside a small area with
"natural noises", not man made one?

Right know I am listening to my neighbors snow blower (0.5 inches of snow
fell last night). The leaves have been off the trees for the last  2 weeks,
so the leaf-blowers have subsided. The daily morning buzz of lawn mowers is
4 months in the future, and it has gotten too cold for the kids to leave
their car windows open as their vehicle shakes with their booming sound
system.
