A Photo of a boat titled Deep Thought

 

And perhaps a philosophical observation.  How many people fell behind in life in the United States and ended up like this?

Per what I read about this boat it ran out of gas and ran aground just south of Bradford Beach.  The people on it got off and walked away.

It is a lot bigger boat close up than it looks from the street.

I think it is irresponsible of our gov not to get it out of there.  What if a storm came and washed it out, only for another boat coming back in rough water to hit it and the crew die?

I also want to say I would like to see more piers along the coast of Lake Michigan in Milwaukee.  Where a boat could moore or where people could fish off.  There used to be a lot of concrete piers.  Doctors Park, Atwater Beach, over on the South Side too.  Not that it would protect your boat much if a Lake Michigan storm came in, without a breakwall.

Off topic.  I see some new construction by the South Shore Yacht Club and it also looks like they are making Jones Island bigger on the South East side of the Hoan Bridge.

The trend however has been to create more limits to parking and access.  As if these are things gof the rich to own.  We saw that in Port Washington.

There are people who live in lakes and they don't want anyone else to peacefully enjoy them.  To hey believe that they own them.  And they don't really use them to fish.  Just something they bought and own and thumb their nose at you.  They needed to be treated for a yet unrecognized something; a rottenness.

*****'

Who has money to blow like in the photo?  Deep Thought ran aground I don't like the poetry to it.  Representative to a finality to the thinking of man?  Yeah, that's me.

Update:  just read (jsonline?) that this boat was owned by a man and and woman who bought it for 12k and planned to live on it in Mississippi.  Makes me wonder if they have a go fund me page?
