If you ask 95% (my own numbers) of people around (Rockford Bay) - none of us "get it." These guys come racing in and out of the bay without their mufflers on and leave behind the carnage. Yesterday one hit a grebe near our dock and the boat merrily sped along seemingly unaware of what it left behind. The grebe had its wing broken and a head injury, but was still alive. At the boat shop, my husband listened as one boat owner bragged at how he was going to take his boat up to 100 mph -- on Coeur d'Alene Lake, mind you. What is wrong with these idiots? When they race their way into RF Bay their noise overwhelms conversations and our peace, and waterfowl have little opportunity to flee. I wish the Sheriff had more of a presence down here on the weekends because people don't seem to care what the law is. It's probably worse on the north end of the lake though/Carol Muzik, Rockford Bay.

Question: Carol goes on to ask: 'Who are these dudes showing off for'? Have you had a close encounter with a big, speeding boat on Lake Coeur d'Alene?
