When I mentioned her to other boaters and the workers at the gas dock, they all recognized her. "She yells at everybody," said one worker.
Pick some blueberries on Bear and bring them to her. Explain that it's always nice to be greeted by her, but you've never been able to understand what she's saying, perhaps because you don't always have your glasses on.

Choice #2: When she yells, take the boat out of gear, smile, wave and yell back "Thank you. Thank you. My dog has one blue eye." Put it in gear and off you go, everybody confused and happy.

OH, BTW, if she's a resident, she does own the lake. So do I, along with 1.3 million close friends. And, we also own a chain of liquor stores. What a great place.
