Life in the doghouse....

Appreciate the Webmaster's tolerance of untold flak as a result of my passionate expression of my position regarding HB162. Yes. I made the "bad boys" list and consequently the Webmaster has had the extra task of monitoring my posts before being uploaded for viewing (reading) by forum visitors. So, while gathering some pennies, nickels, and dimes to offset the extra bandwidth and scrutiny time, I keep hearing voices in my head singing, "Bad boys, bad boys, what ya gonna type?" Guess I have enjoyed too many happy years at the Lake utilizing a variety of float-me vessels that include paddling a wakeboard, paddling a canoe, enjoying a sail in the Broads to the thrills of Mother Nature on a Sunfish, putt-putting through the Weirs channel on a Wet Bike - only took ten minutes to get in line from Thurston's, to powering a sistership of the 1963 winner of the Cowes Classic at a slow speed, only one engine engaged, to enjoy the enthrallment of the Loons and other members of Mother Nature's tribe of critters. With all these joyous experiences and memories, I let the fear factor by the opponents get the better of me. Two things I despise - someone who will steal from me and someone who will misrepresent the truth to me. Everyone else I am able to tolerate, maybe not always happily; but still able to tolerate, just the same.

We were asked not to mention posters in this response (Please limit your comments to the speed limit issue and do not make comments about or directed at other members that might require a response.), so I shall not, even though one used a reference to wordage in one of my posts.

In closing, "Thank you" again with much appreciation to the Webmaster for his tolerance. I sincerely hope everyone on both sides of the HB162 issue is able to enjoy the Lake and all the beauty it bestows upon its visitors, be they residents or not, for we are all just visitors who one day will pass on and our place in a serendipitous setting we call the Lake will be enjoyed by another.
