(I just couldn't part with Miss July, or the accompanying text box with her vitals and profound commentaries on freedom, world peace and prosperity, social justice and a damn good night pub crawlin. Swanky little gal.) <<<< snip Jolie said: << EXCUSE ME? What ARE you talking about? << Me thinks Rob is attempting to portray himself as a "hard-core" sea kayaker! He just got a little mixed up about what that term really is all about. All hard-core paddlers know you are supposed to burn your paper money first, then your tide tables, then your guide book, and then your reading material. And never your log book. However, most paddlers I know take along more wholesome reading material like "Moby Dick" or some equally exciting reading-marathone to pass the time away while tent bound. I take throw-away books from the used book store, and use up the pages-read as fire starter, though being a self-confessed hard-core paddler, I sometimes just use flares :-) If I want great images to look at, I just glance up and look around at the seascape. Isn't that the point of getting out into the outdoors? Tisk, tisk to Rob. I'm sure he was just trying to be funny though. Sometimes I hit "send" rather than "delete" too.
