Actually, I believe they would fit into a cut out fire extinguisher. Rummy In a message dated 4/25/2010 2:10:46 P.M.

After that you will need a good supply of ice, diet coke (preferably made with splenda) and lots of Mt Gay rum. I'm available on short notice. Insulated tumblers are best.

I would put this to him, but I understand that he is "waiting for them to deliver a straight jacket in [his] size," and I don't want to add anything to his pile. I want to put the intervening time to the best use in getting what I'll need to sail on day-one. I'd appreciate (from those who have been down this path) some guidance on things I'll need. Motor & gas tank, I know. How about lines, fenders, anchor hardware, PFDs, day and night warning devices and any variety of items you think I'll need to sail...not in oppulent comfort, but you know: just friggin' sail. I will have it on a fresh water lake in NC. Many thanks. And Here's a (non sailing) poem for all to enjoy. Joe Crush JJ Camp It came at night; she half expected murder disappointment discomfiture of other expectations First: dark quiet reigned-in blacker dream dreams dreamer never saw the crush approached from her exposed right side, eye unblinking fracture fractured quiet undone in the crush the crush. She breathed hard knuckle bone against bone, skin rent rendered red under night’s black blanket, unconscious rifted shifting. Bright light in her head, the crush silent crush. She heard something like television snow crackled then and then—nothing nothing but the quiet of nothing. She thought: “So this is what it’s like. This is what it’s like to die when fragments of love crushed bone skull bone collapses yields to fist and flesh and crush sometime after twelve, when children should be asleep, not hearing, not listening And this is how Mother felt when Daddy— when Daddy when love in some disguise some disgruntled love drunk love comes home too late or too soon. 19 August 2003See the original archive post
