INNOVATION

by Pam

The U.S. Patent Office issued its 8 millionth patent on Tuesday.  Patent No. 8,000,000 was for a Visual Prosthesis Apparatus.  Now, seriously, if three inventors from California can manage to invent a way to make a blind man see, surely some of our ever so resourceful White Rock sailors can apply a little redneck ingenuity and come up with a way to get a Butterfly from the water onto the dock that isn’t dependent upon strength and fitness.  C’mon, rise to the challenge and leave your mark at the lake and make a few lightweights very happy (and independent).
