Please allow me to reply to your comment to my comment below concerning the "boat bill". You mentioned "distinguished people". Are you referring to powers-that-be with money? Money makes most people stupid (i.e. the barges on a fresh-water lake). Maybe you were speaking of people with "influence" and "political might". That, also....and 89 cents...will get you a cup of coffee. Life is not filled with as much gray area as you would like.

I don't think it is money that makes people stupid, but what ever you are drinking might.

No, I was referring to some retirees who have touched hundreds or thousands of lives while serving as Professors. I was referring to the veterans who chose Alabama as thier final destination. I was referring to the truck driver who is mainly in Alabama for the weekend. I was referring to the salesman who depends on the economy for lives gratification. I was also referring to the Government employees and the sanitation systems engineer.

I agree there are bad apples in the cruiser/fast boat crowd, just as in any crowd. However, the majority are "distinguished" by me because of their generous fun-loving attitude.

Obviously, some of these people are very well off, but to meet them, you wouldn't know it. But the majority of them just enjoy being on the lake, and having a boat at a marina gives them the opportunity for socializing and experiencing the lake in a very unique environment.

Did that answer your question?
