Hehe - Really? So the definition of and island is a body of land surrounded by water correct? So, we're on Black Cat Isl. - a body of land surrounded by water, thus an island?

We have friends on Cow Isl. and they always say we not "really" on an Island because we have a bridge, but and island is an island.

Granted - I agree a "real" island on the lake is different, and a much different style of lake living, one I happen to enjoy quite a bit when I can.

Root Beer is not beer.

Hamburgers have no ham in them.

"bridged islands" are not islands.

People who live on bridged islands are not islanders (sorry, but it's true).

But what if it is a drawbridge? Up an island, down not?
