Thanks, Stat. I'll drop in from time to time, but like Spoonman, I'm so busy right now with summer I hardly have time to sneeze.
Good to see you back, [MENTION=1322]007[/MENTION].

If you weren't in Germany, I'd appoint you VP of the bitch about the weather club...
Barbless hooks means catch and release.a few places I fish require barbless hooks.
I've used pliers to smash the barb out of effectiveness at times when I played catch and release.
yes, they are catch and release areas
Tonight's a big night in Germany: at 21:00 (about 3 and 1/2 hours from now), it is
Deutschland vs. Ghana.
Cafes, bars, sports bars, public places equipped with wide-screen, will be packed for this game.
I will definitely be watching it.

That is the only way I could ever justify fishing (for myself only ) --practicing catch and release. Even then, though.....I try not to think of the fish once a year when I am chowing down on some halibut, just as I try not to think of eggs, when I am downing them. Same thing with beef, which is probably why I rarely eat beef.
I think fishing is a great activity for those who need and enjoy it. It is cathartic. I love the thought of a man in a boat or standing in the water, on a sunny day, in a rushing river in Wyoming, fly-fishing.
Good morning everyone...may you make a good day.

[MENTION=46168]Statistikhengst[/MENTION] of course you know Mrs. Blood is German. And my Numba 1 son is home for the weekend and is forcing me to watch Argentina-Iran. He's already running around the house waving his big German flag. I'm outnumbered. Going to drink 4 or 5 Hefe Weissen in prep for the Germany-Ghana match. Hoping for a HUGE miracle on Thursday when USA plays Germany. That would shut them up for 4 years.
How does one go about making a food item the official food for a Nation? I'm thinking that banana splits should be the official food of the USA. Think I will write my congress critter. I betcha he would enjoy getting some mail when nobody actually bitches about something.
Watched 'up' last night with the wife and grand daughters. They are swimming and then shopping. Girls' day out.
I'm sort of with BBD on this one. Unless the fish are going to be dinner, why fish? Catch and release, just to do it, seems sort of mean to the fish. But then I gave up fishing when I started feeling sorry for the poor fish. And then the minnow used for bait. And then the worm or cricket or whatever. . .so the fish from Albertson's taste pretty good properly seasoned and cooked. (That way somebody else has to be mean and not me.
We used to play all of those board games when I was little. Now we have computers and texting, more interactive for kids and their friends. Can't wait to see what the future holds!
Kids are still playing games, they just play with strangers on the internet. I find those internet games like Everquest boring, though. There is something nostalgic about playing games with friends and family, face-to-face.
Yeah. People who play games on the internet are weirdos

When my parents were alive we used to often have many "rousing" games of UNO. Great fun.
I remember one very cold spell when we lived in Alabama.....power was down, we had no heat except in the Fireplace, so we all slept in the den that night....the next day, everything was shut down, stayed home from work, so we had to keep the fire going and to keep from being totally bored, we played Uno with the kids over and over till I couldn't stand Uno for many years after that.....I finally got over it.
Years ago I hitched a ride to London (after living in France a while) and when my original lodging plans for that night fell through, I met up with a couple of hippie types who happened along. We went back to their flat where we stayed up for hours playing a great English game they taught me called "Blackjack" -- which has no relation to our "21" Blackjack, just another game where the black jack is significant....
Fast forward to a few years later and I started to see a commercial card game modeled exactly after this English Blackjack game. The commercial game was called "Uno".
English Blackjack is still a better game as it has one element that Uno doesn't --- if one particular card is thrown, all players have to hand their entire hand to the next player. This means if you had dribbled down to two or three cards, you could suddenly be stuck with thirteen. Plus, everybody now knows what the player after them is holding.
Before Uno came out I spread English Blackjack (as we started calling it) around friends. It was a hit.

It's kind of funny, many people think of fishing as the lone man someplace like a Wyoming river as you allude to (I ignore ocean fishing in this case), but the lone fisherman is usually not the case. Most fishers go with a partner or small group. I'm rare in that I often go solo.
A River Runs Through It is one of my favorite movies for more reasons than the symbolism of fishing. My brother and I have traveled very different paths and ended up in different places. We both still fish, but not together.

New Mexico has an official state just about everything - state bird, state animal, state insect, state reptile, state tree, two state vegetables (pinto bean and chili pepper), and state question (red or green?) etc., but I don't think it has a state dessert. It does have a state cookie though: the bizcochito.
