    To be fair, this was a fancy beach on a kewl island in the days of the Panonian sea. :p

    Two hours to the Bay is a bit too far when one has no car. :(

    Who wants to carpool down to the Chesapeake and take me with them?

    There are a number of lakes in my county, but few have anything resembling a beach. The nearest proper beach is about an hour away, and it's more of a mud flat bordering the water. The Detroit River isn't a swimming river, either, as the current is just too strong; ironically, they're going to set up a kayak ramp on Belle Isle that'll be ready for use in December.

    I have a small amount of beach envy (the lovely clear water!), although the beach near where I live is pretty great:

    Australia is on my bucket list, as are the beaches there. ;)

    Oh, for the chance to snorkel the Great Barrier Reef...

    Don't get me started on how much of a flipping pain it is being water-locked, when the only service available to ferry us to the mainland keep jacking up prices every month, it seems like.

    I point and laugh at you islander. I have a friend that goes to UVIC. He knows your pain.

    So, since I have nothing else to do this summer, I've decided to sew a quilt for my cousin's baby. I know she wanted more gender nutural colours, even though she's having a boy, but I found some blue fabric with like ships and old maps on it when I went to the fabric store with my grandmother and her sister, so I had to get that.

    You know, building a boat of your own isn't that complicated if you've got the right tools... ;)

    Do you need a boater's license to handle a rowboat or canoe in Canada? Seems rather daft... ;)

    You need a boater's license to handle a rowboat or canoe in Pennsylvania.

    I don't think you need one for a rowboat or canoe, but I wouldn't trust either of those in the Strait of Georgia, and I don't have the strength to carry myself across in a kayak. :p

    With the Masuda Method, I have a 1 in 1,365 chance of getting a shiny. I finally, FINALLY hit the magic number.

    He's not allowed to battle until he's at least lvl 30. Until then, he'll be babysat by my other Hypno and just learn the ropes.

    :) Thank you!

    In some big kitchens, usually seen on US tv or films, there is a big rectangular block in the middle of the room, usually has high chairs or stools next to it.

    I expect people can eat off it, use it as a food preparation area. It is not a table. But...what is it called?
