Ok I keep wondering about Swampwalker.

I guess the reaon is that I used to be a swamp walker of sorts. I used to be a transmission line walker for the power company(before my knee joints went to hell a year or so ago). I am from Michigan. We have swamps! Lots of them.For one example, If you look at a map of Michigan find Ludington on the west side of the state. Now imagine walking to Traverse City, which is north, and back. About 85 miles one direction on the right of way.(I had to walk back, since I worked alone and had to get back to the truck and head to the next access point)There are a few river systems that damn line crosses which means there will be low ground, and you guessed it SWAMPS! I have been through my share of damn swamps! Some you just have to turn around and walk back, just NO WAY to get through, then come back in from the other side. Winter is a whole 'nother story. Try walking on snowshoes all damn day, but you can cross a swamp(sometimes)on the ice. It's cold if you go throught that damn stuff, as I am all to well aware of. Now do this 4 days a week for ten hours a day. You get to know the state very well on this sort of job. A fellow "walker" came to a place he nedded to get through and asked a local about how he might best do it, and the responce(refering to the swamp) was,"Oh, you mean the BIG NASTY!"

I own several companies and one of my businesses is a summmer day camp. All the staff uses nicknames during the summer months. Being the owner, one of my staff gave me my nickname. For those that know me, feel welcome to call me Poo Bah, the Grand seems so formal at times.

I would feel more comfortable calling you Mr. Poobah. Being a peasant I have learned to respect Aristocracy.
