Yes! I won't share them (some are illegal), but I'm smiling to myself, reliving various great memories. Which reminds me of some great quotes; I think both are from Douglas Adams. - Most things you learn just after you need them. - A "learning experience" is where your unconscious says: "That thing you just did? Don't do that." I also remember a life jacket, invented by McManus, that doesn't float. It only has built-in speakers, shouting at appropriate moments "DON'T DO IT, YOU FOOL!" *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
