Dave, regarding me corrupting your
dear ol' dad? I'm happy to report
it is in YOUR gene pool and YOU are
proof of the genetics therein. "A
chip off the ol' block" never ran
truer in my 40+ years of exploration.
Reckon your sons will carry "it" on
as well. As for his new attire... I
merely nudged his deep seeded desire
to wear a mermaid T-shirt. He's a
great man and deserves only the finest
mermaid wears. I'm truly blessed to
know the senior of the Derer clan
and all his nutty offspring.
Regarding Capt' John's inquiry as to
what to call a bunch of Amphicars...
I humbly submit what Webster's lists
below;
ARMADA
Main Entry: ar?ma?da
Pronunciation: ?r-'m?-d&,
Function: noun
Etymology: Spanish, from Medieval Latin
armata army, fleet, from Latin, feminine
of armatus, past participle of armare to
arm, from arma
1 : a fleet of warships or Amphicars
2 : a large force or group usually of moving
things <an armada of fishing boats & Amphicars>
Obviously its the "Amphibious Webster's" version
not commonly found outside our little corner of
the universe.
Be well, swim safe.
Swim more in 2004!
