Robert,

Thank you very much.

Yes, I went water skiing on 
Lake Havasu once, one fine
(hot) day during summer vacation
from high school.

Our speed boat lost an engine
while I was bobbing at the 
end of a tow rope, and we enjoyed
the feeling of alternating between
cool dips, and the evaporting energy
of the intense sun.

When I got home, I had such a 
bad sun burn, I could not move,
literally, I had a high temperature,
and was nauseous.  I guess this
was my first experience with 
a first-degree sun burn.

So, Lake Havasu has a special place
in my memories -- the bad ones.

/s/ Paul Mitchell
