An elementary teacher starts a new job at a school in Chambana and trying to make a good impression on her first day, explains to her class that she's an Illini fan. She asks the class to raise their hands if they too are Illini fans. Everyone in the class raises their hand except one little girl. The teacher looks at the girl with surprise and says: "Mary, why didn't you raise your hand?" Because

Here's a practical problem that I ran into last week. Might be interesting to see how folks here might solve it:
Last Friday I fished a stream in western North Carolina. About two miles of the stream run through privately-owned land, and that portion is posted and zealously protected. It has not been stocked in many years. It's owned by an elderly farmer who prohibits fishing by virtually all oth

So it comes out that Haliburton, Cheney's company, is charging the US public three times more to deliver a gallon of imported oil to Iraq than Iraq's homegrown oil company. Apparently, patriotism is for dying 18 yr olds in uniform while "business as usual" is for the well -connected for whom this is simpy another "opportunity" to soak the taxpayer.

Since wiser heads have prevailed and suggested I stick with the 7.5
4wt. for the NC Clave those monies can be spent on stocking my fly box. I realize it's a bit in the future and to really nail it, a crystal ball would be needed. I'll not hold anyone accountable for their recommendations about fly patterns. (Gracious ain't I). Some suggestions would be most appreciated. Bill In Va.

The local weather forecast in New England says it's going to be another shitty string of days, and there's not much light at the end of the tunnel. Although the temps are not too bad, the humidity is making outdoor life miserable. I went fishing last Saturday in this stuff, but I won't be doing *that* again soon - it absolutely sucked.
