his Amex card

No Amex card, why should one pay to use a credit card?

Fair enough. I stand partially corrected: Mr. Knight and his wallet
have never passed a tackle dealer they didn't like.

FWIW, you don't _have_ to pay for an Amex card. Every year I get the
"annual fee" on the bill and I call to cancel. The fee is waived. From
what I've found nowadays, there are fewer and fewer places that are
Amex-only (in the US), so the first time they refuse to waive, I'll
wave...buh-bye.

PS - thought about you just this past weekend - we laid just out from
the junction of the Pascagoula and Mary Walker Bayou and grilled some
fresh snapper, chaurice, and asparagus, with crab fingers as an
appetizer...Gulf Coast heaven...and we anchored just far enough out to
strike a balance between calm water and no marsh gnats.
