Oh dear. It’s boat launching season again! It’s when the laws of gravity, and physics, and buoyancy, and just plain laws are all cast to the ground and trod upon. Well, that’s not exactly accurate. Some are drowned.

I love the two-ton cars pulling three-ton boats. The intrepid jet ski enthusiasts who figure, hey, trucks are made of steel, and steel is strong. There are several hardy souls bucking to become a senator from Massachusetts. But they saved the best for last. If you don’t come back from a day on the water in that condition, there’s no sense going.
