After running ashore to dump trash and, of course, get coffee and internet, came back to continue restoration of disaster called boat. Electrical organization was completed, some useless crap was set aside for disposal and other useless crap was re-stored along with some good stuff. Additional winnowing is advisable.

Twenty one. This century has reached legal adulthood and should know better. Apparently centuries, like people, really haven't got their stuff together after this many years. Last time at this age do-gooder induced alcohol prohibition was just kicking in and was such an unmitigated disaster that the US Constitution was amended thirteen years later when the century was a slightly more mature thirty three. We should all remember what the road to hell is paved with. If some people are doing good by forcing everyone to do what they want, what you want or, more likely, what they think everyone ought to want, watch out, bad things are going to happen. Keep in mind that the world is a supremely complicated place and the guys who want to control it, even the smart ones, are very simple people. If you want a savior for after you're dead, go to church. If you think anybody can fill that role in the real world consider that you might be deluded.

Sorry about that. Should have issued a rant warning, but at least one of us now feels better.
