Hi all --- just a quick update we only need 12 more members to commit to Jim Hebert's Special Award to place the canvas set order!If you have been waiting --- well stop waiting take a moment and commit your $25 today --- we would love to place the canvas order this week ---- then you all won't have to put up with my updates anymore --- if nothing else that should be motivation in itself to get it done ---- chuckle chuckle ---
Just remember we're all part of this fine community of Whaler enthusiast and it's getting cold up in Michigan where Jim lives --- we sure don't want him to get sick or frostbite just because we didn't get him COVERED quick enough --- now do we --- someone has to be around to keep us Whaler folks in line and feed us regular doses of Whaler information ---- it's going to be a long winter ---- heh heh
One more thing --- Zeno's Paradox may be rephrased as follows: suppose we wish to cross the room. First, of course, we must cover half the distance. Then, we must cover half the remaining distance. Then, we must cover half the remaining distance. Then we must cover half the remaining distance . . . and so on forever. The consequence is that we can never get to the other side of the room or can we !!!
Now your saying Tom just went off the deep end --- not totally but close ---- one of our SENIOR members --- namely Kingfish --- was having a slight problem with this guy Zeno's Paradox --- so I thought I'd sort of explain it here just in case anyone else might have the same problem --- Now your saying what does this have to with Jim's Award --- you just have to take a moment and think about it ---- ha ha --- think we will dispel this paradox with the Award commitments shortly ---
That's all for now folks --- Tom ( won't credit this to Larry and Clark just my own bit of humor)
