Early this morning, the two of us, together with Tom, had an opportunity to witness Governor Tom Corbett get in a kayak at Narrowsburg to paddle down the Delaware River. He launched from the Pennsylvania Fish Commission access just below the Narrowsburg bridge and, of course, a small group of natural gas opponents were there to greet him. However, there was also a determined group of natural gas advocates. We were there to capture it all.

Tom also treated us to a follow up drive-by of Josh Fox’s claimed home (actually his father’s second home) and lo and behold, we met the Fox himself in his den. It was only two cars passing on a narrow country lane but we couldn’t mistake the nerdy glasses or smirky grin. No words were exchanged, only a friendly wave, but it provided a fitting end to another anti-climatic day of anti-gas bloviating.Corbett arrived a little after 8 am and got in the river a few minutes later, seemingly taking no notice of the band of antis on the other side of the river. A handful more greeted him from the Pennsylvania side and another half-dozen followed his flotilla with one of their own. They had signs urging Pennsylvania to pay its DRBC dues, as if Pennsylvania should give up its leverage to other states who refuse to vote on regulations, and similar inane messages.
