Sailing is like chess on the water.

Because of the level of my chess game, I was able - even against a weak opponent, such as my younger brothers or the dog - to get myself checkmated in under three minutes. I challenge any computer to do it faster.

We need to do a better job of cleaning the streets. It's not usually the individuals who use the water who leave trash. A lot of it comes from the streets and highways. All it takes is strong west winds, especially if it's three or more days in a row.
