Marina/Ramp: Currently mostly out of Jamestown but spend a lot of time at the other Marinas.
Pre2012-Conley Bottom Mostly, Waitsboro, Alligator I&II ramps, Leesford, Pulaski County Park (when it has water), Grider, State Dock (via boat), and Jamestown are a few places you might find me.

560 of me and 2 of them have caused me trouble. One in Casey County with outstanding arrest warrants about 30 years ago and the other in Cumberland County with outstanding bills owed to Fingerhut. I shoulda sued the freaking collection agency over the Fingerhut thing, but they appologized when they finally figured out they had made a serious mistake.
I was curious what the most common names were so I ran John Smith throught the mill. John came back as the second most common first name and Smith was the most common last name. Anyone got any ideas on what the most common first name is?

Yeah, this guy lived in Lexington when I did and is about 1 year older than me. He moved to Pulaski County and the trouble just followed. He was arrested on drugs a few years back and someone on LC.com and LCL.com decided it would be fun to tell people I was a drug dealer. Gimme a break! People with Powertrips that have no power just amuse me.
The collection agency for Fingerhut pinged me as being their man simply because I was the only person with my name in this area with a listed phone number. It didn't matter that the shipping address they shipped the merchandise to was 50 miles away in another county, and they wouldn't listen when I told them I had NEVER bought anything from Fingerhut in my entire life. And they wouldn't get off my a$$ about it and investigate further themselves until I finally went to the Burksville post office and asked the post master if someone with my name lived there. He confirmed there was and the next time the collection agency called back I let the SOB have it with both barrells. The guy finally put his supervisor on the phone and he appologized profusely and explained they thought it was me because I was the only person in this area by my name with a listed phone number.

My guess would be James(Jim).
You got it, and there are 51,164 people in the U.S. with the name James Smith.
I had that happen too. DeVry institute kept calling my parent's house when I was in college. Dad just said "He isn't here, I think you have the wrong one" He finally called when I was there and Dad handed me the phone and just laughed at the reaming I gave this guy. Our middle names are different so that helps.
Another time I had a PC deputy call me who was a friend of mine. He said "I've got a warrant for your arrest". He couldn't believe it. I asked him the middle initial and it was his, not mine. I was the only one in the phone book so the Sheriff's department thought that must be where he lives.
