You Want to Go Kaijacking?

Can someone please tell me, what kind of a world we live in, when a man dressed up as a BAT!, steals all my press?
I was paddling along this morning, and shared some moments with a grebe having its breakfast. And the first thoughts I get when I see grebe are of loons. Why? not sure. Maybe loons are more popular to me. Kinda like when I think of ducks, I see mallards, and not wood ducks. So, I'm thinking about loons in front of this grebe (kinda rude of me I know), and it brings to mind a story I heard recently. I don't know how much of the story is true, but it was relayed as if it were fact. -I'm not too concerned about the facts in this instance, rather the concept- (You can't enjoy Star Wars always refuting what you see) The story goes that a family of loons took up residence in a lake near by. I think it was Hauser, or one of those on the way to Spokane. Because the loons were there, the lake was closed to motor boat traffic -by the almighty powers that be. Fish and game maybe. Recently the loons were reported MIA. The story goes that they were shot. Shot "because someone wanted to drive their boat on Hauser". Lets just assume most of this is true. I don't think we are shocked if it is true, but I think most hope that it is not. The issue is: is this the type world we live in?
Which raises a bunch of questions in my mind. 1.Is this the mentality in N. Idaho? (what is "this" mentality that I mention?) 2. Does one nuclear family of loons have the right to dictate how others are to live? 3. Can we regulate people -how far do "we" take it? 4. Should we be able to use motorboats ("WE" the general public. on any lake we can get the boat on)? 5. Can/should we stop people from using lakes/land by laws? Or could we find some other means to make it more difficult like fees for use, making recreational vehicles more expensive etc?
I think many of these thoughts,that were pouring thorough my head,were tainted by my environment. The shore line was less than pristine; there was much flotsam. Lots of broken dock debris which included, but was not limited to: Styrofoam, plastic, and wood. I retrieved a "chuck-it" ball from the lake. And I saw a pop bottle or beer can here and there. Now this was the shore which is not populated (it is still owned by the paper company, with no water, no roads, electricity or sewer access. -not suitable for development in short). It should be pristine, right? To be more clear, it is not the Cuyahoga, and I think most would think Twin Lake is very beautiful and "unspoiled". But for my eyes, the trash stood out, and therefore bended my thinking in a certain direction.

Rileigh: "Why do Chinese people can't say sorry?" (Po's dad says "Sorry doesn't make the noodles" and she concocted the rest)

Rileigh: "Itch bug, they are small, and you need a kaleidoscope to see them."

Ethan,helping me with the pancakes: "I'm cooked"

Ethan,pointing to my chin: "You have a mustache coming out."

Rileigh: "I have some screen, and sun glasses to keep my eyes not to burn from the sun."
Do you know what she's talking about?
Well I don't know anyone named Obi-wan.
