      Yep.  That's the one.  I thought it a riot.  Skelly was on a
   business trip to North Carolina years ago & there was a bass
   tournament going on in the area.  A lot of the fishermen were staying
   at the same hotel.  He talked to a few of them & says that Hiaasen
   captured the mentality perfectly.

      Indeed.  OTOH, suing is the national sport here.  When someone
   reacts like that, it makes me wonder if the writer didn't hit a
   little too close to the truth. 
      Gotta get 'Stormy Weather.'  I need a good laugh.
