Re: Canoist <--- how do you spell the REAL word? I'm sure that's wrong.

I just looked at the animated version, Andy, at

Excellent! (although you might want to make the window smaller) And now
I see that your canoeist has a double bladed paddle. Here is another
alteration of the still shot:

                              .,'',-~~0  ~~ _
                         # # .,,...  __\- -  _
                        #'#`/::''__-~ ~ C.;     _
                   ''--_`\|/'__-~   ~ .(-!\  ~ __--#:'
                    \_/  ''--__  ~ ~ ;.-'  O_--#.:\|/ #
                   / \  .`,''',''--__  __--'.:\|/  # \|/
                    / '`.',.',!!,!, '!--_/-\     \|/
                 \ /  .'/!!!.'!!`,'.' \  / \_--
                 / \   ~.'!`!!!':!.'; / /\_/
                  /  .~.!'`:`!'!.!'!, \  _/\ /
                     `\.!,!'!'.!''!,` / / __ /
                     `   !!.!'!~.!.; / /  \/ /  AsH/ejm

NOTE: If you hit the reply button, add an "e" to the "freent";
its absense is to stop the torment of automatic mailers.
