[sly]Lynn's remarks about the frozen lakes and slushy rivers reminded me of telling the neighbor kids in Louisiana about Ice Fishing in Alaska.
The one redheaded boy listend to my tale of chopping through 50" of ice and having to keep the holes open etc etc...and when I was all done, he waited a long minute and then asked:
"Mr Dick, just how'd you get the boat into the water?"
I dont remember how I answered that boy's question.
I think he made me realize that I'll be forever relegated to the "wannabe" sector when it comes to telling a tale with all the required information within the tale.
