We went down here instead.
And along the way we saw this.
And we sat out and watched the moon rise.
And this was the house in a gated community up on the hill.

That is a cove on the Sassafras River east of the Chesapeake Bay Maryland.
Oh Yeah. We sailed there on Wednesday and spent two peaceful nights on our sail boat.

Yes sir you DO.
And you can always make sausage, when the snow is as deep as your waders.....
In the "good-old-days", I used to fish Lake Michigan.
Failure to prepare is preparing to fail.

I really need to get into my fishing attitude. We sailed right through a flock of terns feeding on bait fish driven to the surface by big fish down below. I shoulda, coulda, woulda trolled a soft lure through there. And I coulda turned and sailed back through. No propeller noise.

That's high desert country? How do they find the road?

Well, actually we have trained road-finding, eastern Utah polecats to mark the way. We train them all summer to mark the roads. Then just before a big snowstorm in late fall, we start windin` up their tails. Round and round they go, until they are completely wound up. When released back into the wild, they will mark the road perfectly as their tails unwind with a whirring sound, leaving a distinct trail to follow.
If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it probably needs more time on the grill!

That works. I have also heard that there are magnets buried in the road surface and sensors on the trucks.
