If you weren’t such a fundamentalist atheist, you’d recognize this as a sign, and let Jesus come inside you.

Only if He uses a Holy Condom.

Speaking of boat motors, the mystery of the returned motor complexified slightly when my father in law took a walk last weekend and inspected the ravine in which the motor was found. There were two previously missing gas tanks and, astonishingly, the previously missing battery charger. I don’t recall that the battery charger was missing for as long as the boat motor, so the theory that explains this can’t be the parsimonious one. People have been saying “Well, the simple explanation is X” or “The simple explanation is Y.” Nope. Nothing simple about this.

If you weren’t such a fundamentalist atheist, you’d recognize this as a sign, and let Jesus come inside you.

I’ve been peppered with falling shot from duck hunters, while standing in front of the cottage. Honestly, I deeply appreciate the many offsetting joys of lake living, but I have to wonder: what the heck is wrong with people?

Now I have to plan a fall vacation to Minnesota. After spending the whole summer at the disgusting lakes in South Dakota, I’m horribly jealous of the picture you just painted.

The question is: Why?
Is someone running some smuggling operation across the lake? Was the body of the vicar’s wife, who disappeared five years ago, dumped near your favourite fishing grounds? Is “Crazy One-Eyed Jack”, as the villagers call him, really all that crazy?

I’m looking forward to the next instalment!
