I wrote a long explanation telling what  our "volunteers" get for the 
time they spend on the salt then said *%#@  &!%# Otto and deleted it.

Otto, just be glad those "volunteers" are  there because you would hate 
to take a day or so away from racing to do  what they do for what they 
get.  You show up for inspection after  most of the work has been done.  
When the meet is over for you you go  home.  Those volunteers pick up 
the crap you and others leave behind  in addition to all the 
infrastructure that has been installed over ten  plus miles of salt.  We 
have done it in water up to five inches in  depth on the course in a 
pouring rainstorm.  There's no pay for the  equipment clean up over the 
rest of the year other than perhaps a  lunch.  The term "labor of love" 
isn't too far  off.

Hi Wes
 
Obviously you TOTALLY missed the praise I gave the "volunteers", in  person 
to last years SW workers and in print for the work they do for LSR.  I even 
advocated they receive "pay" for their work and would give more if I was  holding 
the pen. So where's the beef with "*%#@ &!%#  Otto" ?
 
I would love to volunteer for SW as I'm not racing this year. I do lots of  
"real" volunteer work with the Community and the homeless so getting perks 
would  be a first! Where do I sign up?!!!
 
Otto
