What a counter-intuitive thing to say. Thoughts like this could devastate capitalism..

All my hats, and sunglasses have straps or lanyards or the like. Well attached.

Been there, had to buy the new hat {#Doh}

No, no invite to dinner either. I suppose we're more acquaintances than friends, now you mention it.

Joking aside, it looks a great place, on the list of places to visit.

wow, that's cool and looks kind of crowded but I guess that's the tele.

how come you get such a short sea with wind coming from behind the waves like that? Is the tide going out?

And that's a Friday! But it's in July, which is peak season.

It gets less crowded on a big day. It gets less crowded on days when the wind stretches the length of the gorge instead of focussing only on this section of the river. Sometimes the wind blows 35 mph for nearly 80 miles. Sometimes it blows 50 over a 1/4 mile stretch, while it remains virtually calm elsewhere. Anything can happen.
