why do we make stuff?

[tyger]

If you ever need a body to fill out a party let me know---I am closer than you and probably right on your way up there if you drive. Hve boats, will travel.

I know what you mean about having plenty of rods. I have a bunch that I should give to a scout club or something. That will make room for me to acquire a few more.

Here is a picture of Carol and the cats (in the cat carrier, center of boat) and all our stuff (well, not all; we pack away the Christmas tree, fish fryer, bread machine, etc for the winter and leave it there) portaging from Ontario into MN. Then 1,376 miles back to Georgia.
