As an avid boatman, I know how dangerous strainers can be and have been near a couple that have taken lives, once up in Wisconsin on the Red River the day before I went by it. A canoe went through it, overturned and the life jacket was snagged on a branch only a foot under water but that was all it took. After that, I have always carried a knife velcroed to my life jacket when kayaking or canoeing on moving water.Edhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13214319366049620074noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1149621918606257862006-06-06T15:25:00.000-04:002006-06-06T15:25:00.000-04:00Lucky you on the canoe trip up north, how fun!Lucky you on the canoe trip up north, how fun!Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16583773305351498372noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9454941.post-1149596171162165612006-06-06T08:16:00.000-04:002006-06-06T08:16:00.000-04:00Panthergirl!

It's like "The Cobb Salad", which was created at THE BROWN DERBY RESAURANT, here in L.A. for the owner (I think he was the original owner, Mr. Cobb...) and it is a CHOPPED Salad. All the ingredients are supposed to be chopped very finely so that someone who was having teeth issues would not have to chew very much at all! Well, it is now served in practically every restaurant in America and what is served has no resemblance to the Classic Original...They shouldn't even dare call it a "Cobb Salad"...but, they do...and this is everywhere I've ever had it that was NOT The Brown Derby...!<BR/>Go figure!
