[Alberg30] Correction

Wed Oct 22 12:14:54 PDT 2003

RE message below sent a few minutes ago, please substitute effluent for
affluent.  Or, just change to read as follows:

Lastly, imagine a 35 gallon holding tank!  I could chauffer the affluent and
their effluent around
the Chesapeake Bay all season, stopping only for the occasional Perrier
delivery (they do deliver, don't they?).

Sorry about the mix up.  I would like to blame it on spell check

Roger
