Westies was also the name of a gang of Irish thugs who once menaced the Hell's Kitchen section of Manhattan...basically west of the theatre district. I used to cringe when I would heard the word Westie and was happy when the gang was largely rounded up. Now, I see that one has to worry about their hairy smaller 4-legged name bearer. :-) ralph diaz *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
