You need to row with the oars you have

The above title is a standing expression in my mother tongue, Dutch. It is a 'watery way' from a watery country, to say you need to make do.

Searching Youtube for inland navigation scenes in Siberia, where they have about a milion miles of waterways, I came across this extreme case of making do. It seems there was no tugboat available to pull a pontoon with an excavator on it to a different place...

A Quote

"We only understand 10 percent of the climate issue. That is not enough to wreck the world economy with Kyoto-like measures."
--Henk Tennekes, former research director, Dutch Royal Meteorological Institute
