    Political semantics

    What happened to Ray's post?

    Too many people said too many things they will regret in the morning and it was simply too long to edit and still be fair.<br /><br />I deleted it.

    Calling Selles

    re: Your add-on question in the other thread.<br /><br />You don't have cavitation, it is probably ventilation, but could be a spun prop hub.<br /><br />If your Whaler 13 Sport is a blue liner, pre-'73 model, it needs a short shaft (15") engine.<br /><br />Later 13s had a 20" transom and need a...

    My history lesson.

I was 18 years old, bright eyed and bushy tailed, and assigned to the Flight Planning Office in the tower at NAS Barbers Point.<br /><br />After a few weeks I was on the graveyard shift one night, killing time in the Javalocker, when I struck up a conversation...

    Courtroom wit.

    JB does a cut and paste

    I ordinarily don't care to read stuff that has been cut and pasted from other sources and has usually been around for ages.

    One Summer in the late '40s my Dad took me to the Polo Grounds to see my hero, Mel Ott, and his New York Giants play the Brooklyn Dodgers.<br /><br />My Dad was one of those walking encyclopedia types. Asking him a simple question was like trying to take a sip from a fire hydrant. I thought he...
