Stephen said (snip): > Wow, did I just get spanked by the " one and only" Doug Loyd? I am honored to have drawn his attention.< Naw, weren't no spanking, just came across the wrong way I think. Besides, I don't spank other paddlers that offend me, I just pour cement in their kayaks when there not looking. :-) > I don't know about Americans and Americant's but, this Texan is making a second attempt at a little 260 mile paddle known as the Texas Water Safari. It remains to be seen if I am a can or can't.< Hey, I was just back-channelling with the other Texan dude 'bout a picture in the local paper here with a shot by Ron Jenkins (Associated Press) of a paddler surfing some fine looking waves on a flooded Texas river. Gnarly stuff. Definitely an Ameri-can. >Get to paddling Doug. I love reading your reports. Perhaps we'll get a Hurricane this year and you can come down to Texas and show us how it is done.< Been blowing 30 knots last two days, was going to head out this evening, but decided to wait 'till after my Holter-Monitor on Monday, when I end my multi drug-regime. Hope to hit dem waves soon man with the doc's blessings. Won't be soon enough. Keep us posted (pardon the pun) too, on the Safari. Don't go shootn' nothing, except for the rapids of course.
