    NO! Absolutely not!!

    And whoever told you that needs to be slapped in the head!!!

    The GSPPier is an enity of the ALABAMA STATE PARK SYSTEM and has nothing to do with the lame federal goverment.

    Well, 'nothing to do' as far as operations, but the 'lame' federal government paid $2.3 million so the pier would exist today for you to stand on. That's considerably more than the $1.5 million the taxpayers of Alabama financed with a bond issue.

    With $4 million likely coming from the gas and oil royalties, the state plans to add about $1.2 million in insurance proceeds, $2.3 million of Federal Emergency Management Agency funding, and $1.5 million from a state park bond issue to come up with the pier's $9 million price.

    True that, I guess.
    Still, I meant definition #1 not #3...

    It may be funny that they won't be getting paid, unless they were your customers and won't be spending their paychecks on you. That's probably not quite as funny. We're all entitled to our own ideas of what's funny.

    Back on the topic of the storm, even if it makes land-fall in southern mexico, what will the seas be like? I haven't been out in a storm in a boat in a while (and i mean A WHILE), are we talking 3-5' white caps? breaking? or swells?
    I figure it this way, if everyone in the world had a lie clock, whose hands moved once every time they lied. You could use any politicians lie clock as a ceiling fan.
