thought some of you might find this funny, it is from Patrick McManus.
"Scholars have long known that fishing eventually turns men into philosophers. Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy decent tackle on a philosopher's salary."

That's great! One of my favorite quotes about fishing is from Mark Twain: "Do not tell fish stories where the people know you; but particularly, don't tell them where they know the fish."
- More Maxims of Mark, Johnson, 1927
"Some people are under the impression that all that is required to make a good fisherman is the ability to tell lies easily and without blushing; but this is a mistake. Mere bald fabrication is useless; the veriest tyro can manage that. It is in the circumstantial detail, the embellishing touches of probability, the general air of scrupulous -- almost of pedantic -- veracity, that the experienced angler is seen."
To tell a good fish lie-------> You must first become a good fisherman.:D

Now that is understandable philosophy!!
You must have heard those 33 mile per hour winds loud and clear!! I don't blame you for staying home. I am going to stay in tomorrow also, can't see fighting the showers or the winds this time of year.
