Just a small rant, really

Wait til you guys see the pictures from our boat trip. I had no idea I could drive a boat like that. So little of an idea that when we pulled back into the dock the boat owner accused us of "driving in circles and churning up mud". I can attest to the fact that I was driving in circles, trying very hard to create a wake for us to splash over - a difficult thing with a boat that won't go faster than 15 miles an hour (if that) and has the turning radius of a Carnival Cruise ship - but churning up mud? Dude, the river was many, many feet deep and I know this because everytime I had to pee I jumped over the side. Into the dark water that was slightly frightening and caused me to pedal my feet hard and splutter to the surface. You just want to bully us into giving you more money. That's redneck boater's insurance. I think he got the boat at a yard sale, at the end of the day, when everything drops down to a quarter. It was in good shape. The console almost came off whenever you leveraged it to get out of your seat. And the thing is? I'm not above that boat - I liked it's rickity-ness - romantic even. But to claim we caused all kinds of problems? Yeah, that's like saying I NIBBLED MY HARD DRIVE and that's why it's fried. As opposed to the fact that the computer industry really just has us all by the balls and can keep selling PRODUCTS THAT MELT for several hundred dollars - thousands even - and we keep coming back for more.
