Can You Swim?

I have memories of Narragansett Bay myself but most are not related to swimming. My cottage,located in East Greenwich, actually backed up to the Bay when I was stationed at Quonset Point. The strongest memory is the fact that it was frozen. When salt/brackish water freezes it is cold.

Hey - one good thing about that salt/brackish water is, that it's really easy to learn to swim in. I don't know how anyone could do anything but float in that since there's so much salt (and who know what else ), that it's pretty difficult to sink!!!
Frozen Bay - wings on your plane folded and frozen - you just didn't want to leave RI - did you???

In the more than 2 years I lived there I know we had all the seasons. I remember my wife trying to raise some flowers with one of those roll out seed things. Never did see anything blooms. The only season that I really remember was Winter. I guess it's because the one's we had were so severe.

I had a Fiat 600 and lived on the last street in RI to be Snow Plowed. Trying to get my car to the main street was a comedy that couldn't be scripted. I would actually put the car in gear engine running, get it into someone else's tire grooves, then get out and push till it just went into the main street then I would run and jump in. Up until the tires finally hit pavement they would be turning but getting no traction. Quite a sight.

IF God had intended for me to battle the perils of winter, I would not have been born in Alabama.
