Matt Broze: Maybe slugs are embarrassed by their square feet and so always keep them out of sight. I've seen a lot of slugs (living in the NW) and have never seen their feet, have you? Me: I've never seen a slugs feet but, in the mountains of Switzerland, where slugs go to party, my pink flamingo's feet got covered with slugs every night. And so did my kayak, which really made it a pain because I would pick off every one of those critters before paddling. [I have a soft spot in my heart, as well as my head, for soft animals.] Jim Tibensky _________________________________________________________________ Join the world’s largest e-mail service with MSN Hotmail. http://www.hotmail.com *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).

Camping in the Great Smokies, I woke up in the morning to find my canoe completely covered with ants. As we were settling down to sleep in our tent the night before, I retold to my sister my father's hunting stories from Cedar Key , Florida, in the 1920's. He would fill a jug with honey and whiskey and hang it from a low tree. A bear would come along, drink the mixture, and get drunk and then....get shot. My sister got scared and hid our booze under the canoe so no bear would bother our tent. The lid to the bottle wasn't on tight. Lots of ants got drunk on our canoe and we had to kill them the next morning. Note: On last year's kayak trip down the Suwannee, we saw bear and bobcat tracks along the river. No animals.
