Believe it or not, young people fall for digital scams more often than the elderly. There is data to support that.

A current problem with AI engines is that companies have run out of data to input and wind up occasionally using data outputed by AI as new input, the errors contained therein are further corrupting the database and continuing to give incorrect answers.

Thanks for the report and pics!

Been there…pretty place

Sad news…..Paddle on Andy

Frost followed by a warm day….best time of the year.

Erica’s latest trip report (must read!) mentioned that she spent time learning paddling at Nantahala Outdoor Center as did I. Just wondering…which other members have done the same?

Ok, not canoe specific but thought all paddlers would get a kick out of this. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/07/mushroom-kayak-plastic-alternative?utm_source=join1440&utm_medium=email&utm_placement=newsletter&user_id=66c4cf845d78644b3aea3617

Many hobbies throughout the years that have faded/been replaced. Paddling, gardening, attempted painting, but now being more sedentary and spend most time as an officer for the local computer club which is essentially a service organization as we maintain a resource center five days a week that...
