MUCH MALIGNED, BUT PERHAPS DESERVEDLY SO: UFie Hugh I. sent in a photo of a sadly dilapidated boat that also seems to be covered in a thin film of scum. He says: Note the name of this venerable old workhorse - very apt don't you agree? The photo was sent to me by a US congressman with an invitation to provide a caption - the winner gets a ride on the boat! Oh goody. :) Thanks Hugh!
