Yup, and of course, the big ships don't purposely get close
to you.

What creeks and rivers do you explore? It's not like there are hundreds
around Breezy Point. Do idle all the way across the bay? Once you've been
up the Patuxent, the Severn, the South, etc, rivers, how often do you go
back? Hell, they don't change that much.

JimH's guessing what my real name is, isn't worth any comment what so
ever. I can remember when Harry used to use JimH's real name in
rec.boats and he was screaming about Harry stalking him and making
threats to his sick wife. When Chuck posted a link to JimH's ad where
he was selling his Vespa, he accussed Chuck of posting his telephone
number, even though he knew it did not include his number.

'Gallows' humor?

The Vespa incident was humorous. I think that's when JimH first started
being 'anti-Chuck', as though Chuck gave a damn.

I wonder if it would make JimH feel better if I changed my handle to
"Jim Gallows"? If I did, I would prefer to have the III, just because I
like the way it looks. While there are people in rec.boats who know my
name, you are the only one who actually saw my name on the credit info
when I charged my contribution to the "Run for Boobies" charity.

So..you just got back and are targeting me already!
I have to cut you a little slack...considering your Mickey Mouse cruises,
watching transformer movies and who knows what else.....
A logical person might deduce that you've slipped into your second
childhood. Should I book you a room at mom's nursing home?
