Just a day in the life of a fisherman...... Continuing with the fishing theme here are a few photos of past expeditions. Sorry but the weather here is too beautiful not to think about rods, boats and bait..... Hope you enjoy. Off the west coast of Florida........ Mackerel Off the Florida Keys....... Barracuda Hoping to go fishing, my youngest son prepared his rods last week. However, baseball practice has consumed our time for the past few months. We basically live at the parks. Sometimes, I contemplate just bringing a suitcase and just camping out. Why leave when I will be back a few hours ...

Key Largo Sunset Although we live less than 30 minutes from Miami and Ft Lauderdale Beach, we will drive 2 hours or more sometimes just to fish in the Florida Keys. There are great restaurants,hotels camping areas and marinas where you can set sail. The fishing is always great, winter, spring, summer or fall.

Now, if enough people discover that store B can save them money on milk, store A might possibly be forced to either lower their price on milk to compete, or settle ...

To those of you who regularly read my ramblings here, I apologize for my recent absence. Though I am humbled to think that anyone would purposely read anything I write, I do appreciate your kind indulgence and try to provide some sort of verbiage here on a fairly constant, if irregular, basis. But the unavoidable fact is that no matter how sleek the sail boat, without some wind to fill the sails it's just a place to sit. I hit a patch of nothingness recently, no wind, or some might say, no hot air to fill my sails. I have just been sitting, taking ...
