I enjoy watching the boats and personally have no objection to the unobtrusive buoys floating in any of our ponds, but I also agree that the above statement has merit. I guess the whole problem is not much different from the hysteria that erupts South of Hwy. 466 when someone dares to put out a lawn ornament
