  I turn my strobe on when my team  scores a goal while playing kayak
football in the dark on a dead end canal in Augusta, GA.  Its not much more
than a square pond.  The WW guys we play with want to kill me as I whoop it
up, roll with it turned on, and be a general PITA.  Buts its fun in a silly
way.  Don't tell the Coast Guard.
