It's the ore from which aluminum is extracted, right? I saw it right away and thought it was very cute. I was considering "Al right" for my boat, but didn't think too many folks would follow it. The next favorite was "Tin Can", since I had a relative on ASW duty in the North Atlantic during WWII. Settled on "Tin Lizzie".

I like "Alumination" too.

"There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs -- partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs." Booker T. Washington

That's an impressive Paint job. Ours is taking longer than expected and I am ashamed to say, looks no where near that nice.
If at first you don,t succeed, Find out if there is a prize for last place!
