Knute(The Heathen) and I are both quit-tired pharmacists that worked for the same company. We pat ourselves on the back for leaving the work force at the right time as the company we worked for has gone to the pits.

Yes, we also discuss political things like welfare abuse and the cluster that the Affordable Health Care Act will cause.

We seldom talk about food. I usually have some peanut butter crackers and maybe some Vienna sausages (BBQ flavor) in the boat's glove box and I always have some sodas and water in the built in cooler. Once Knute is on the fish, he'd starve to death before stopping fishing. When were are up in Minnesota and out on the lake all day I have to play "I'm diabetic" card on them to get back to the house and eat something.

Knute doesn't share his feelings so he's never going to say he likes my company or friendship. Maybe a handshake when we are leaving the parking lot and we each travel our separate way home.
