Ole Miss??? Do you mean Miss State? AsIde from that your pick makes more sense than most. If you look at Alabama's record and take into account their close games, they don't stad out any better than several other teams, maybe not as well. think the commitee is worse than the computer. My thoughts are the winners of the top 5 conferences, 2 wild cards from the computer rankings, and one minor FBS team determined by a playoff.

I think from what I've seen the Towhee would be ny choice for this area. The shallow draft could be a real plus in this part of the country. Like Wrench pointed out, Trigg is a rep and can honestly answer any questions about them.

Mizzou had better wear their big boy pants, cause Arkansas is on a roll.

In the mid 80's a clerk in the supers office told a friend of mine that the bid that year was headed toward someone else and that Roger's was alerted and reduced his bid a 1/2% under. I didn't know the clerk, but I do believe my friend and he had faith in the women's information. But it's hearsay.

If you go back to Sam Welch's time and look at where the park has gone since he and JR were bestest buddies it stats making sense. It's just getting worse from the canoe rentals to the ban on other otfitters coming into the park to building units now directly across from the spring. I'm afraid it won't be too many years and there will be units across from the Nature center. Rogers has managed to keep the concession for 30+ years which seems strange given it is, or was, bid on ever few years. Virtually every inprovement in the park in the last 30+ years has put money in JR's pocket, enough to buy up other properties around the park.

Wow, a lot more than I thought from an auction.

It's easy to overlook the damsels/dragonfly nymphs, but the are everywhere. That's a really nice one. I live 1/2 mile from Taney and they are in my yard all summer. I have an old pattern somewhere for damsel adults that uses 100# dacron striped with a blue sharpie for the tail.

:lol:

I could see border brawl, but border war is a historical term moved from muskets to footballs.

When I was living in Oregon we accumilated 24" over a span of about 3 weeks and I thought that was too much.

It doesn't have to list something as legal for it to be legal. When they revised the definition they turned from telling you what a fly had to have to what one can't have. You won't win an argument about rubber if it's molded to look like bait.. As far as being part of a fly is hard to distinguish from plastic for the average lawman and I doubt he would care. He's looking for synthetic bait.

Fairfield was my destination back in the day. We used to go to Fred's Fishing Camp and rent a wooden jon and head to the Osage generally. We also fished the Pomme during the white bass run. You couldn't boat up the Little Pomme, but you could walk it and the pools close to the big river had some whites. I have a picture of myself and Fred holding an oar with 2 spoonbill hanging from it. I'll have to see if I can copy it and post it. FYI I first heard of Truman being built from Fred. He told us he had been approched and advise that he would be bought out for a lake project. This was about '57 I think.

Bottom line, if it looks like bait it doesn't matter what its made of. You shouln't over read it. Nothing made to look like minnows, crawdads, worms, etc.

What I call a temperature cube, what I picked up somewhere, is the outlet in/outlet out piece that many use in well houses to turn heat lamps on and off. The ones I've had are preset at 35 degrees. A.K.A. a cheap thermostat. I'm guessing at the two 100's, but that's where I would start probably. The 60 might work, but a couple of 100's would pull less than 2 amps. They won't likely effect the ground, but the heat generated and held above the bed should allow the bed to lose less residual. You don't want heat lamps because they only heat by infra red.

Back in the late 50's my buddy had an uncle who lived south of Plad and we deer hunted that area. The store was thriving then.

You can buy Pyrethrum based sprays at Home Depot and Lowes which is the Chrysanthemum extract. I use it in my garden. One has to check and see what is effective against what. I had a tough problem with flea beetles on our eggplant and I found that they were immune to some sprays. I had to resort to Sevin dust to get rid of them. It's not friendly stuff so I only used it on the eggplant and not when they had flowers.

I think the "constructed on a single point hook" is the key. Rubber legs are not synthetic bait.

Have you thought about putting a temperature cube and a couple of 100 watt bulbs in it for insurance?

600 my arse. It's hard enough to do it from a bench where you know it's 600 yards and you know the balistics from your gun. Doing in the pucker brush ain't going to happen. Put a song dog out at 600, cover half of him with grass and then try and hold a fine crosshair on him, nope. Even without the balistics knowledge necessary it's all but impossible to even hold on something that small at that range.

Here's an article that might interest some. Unfortuately it doesn't include any assaination information. http://www.livescience.com/39996-brown-recluse-spiders.html

I don't remember her, was she in business in the early 80's? I knew most of the business owners at that time, but I'm sure there might have been a few I didn't. As far as I know the motel was built to give the daughter an income. Virginia died of cancer shortly after they gave up possesion of the resort on the river and it was about that time that they built the motel. Virginia's daughter, can't think of her name, and her husband ran it and lived in the place below it. I did electrical work for them from time to time, but all I knew about most of it came via the rumor mill.

I'm with Ness. The whole historical aspect of the game also included the Big 8 and then tthe Big 12. Once any part of it's gone, it's gone. The bulk of the reasoning was never about athletics anyway, it was about money. The SEC wanted to expand to get more money overall and Missouri's powers that be were more than willing to take a share.

When we elk hunted in the snow, about 2/3 rds of the time, we always saw cat tracks and often not far from camps. We never saw the cats though. Twice when conditions were right, very rarely, I saw cat tracks out by my barn in Oregon. never saw a cat, never lost a dog. The only time I was cautious was in my last hunt which was a BP hunt. I enede up on a mountain completely alone and where I had often elk hunted. I knew there was a good population of cats and that didn't bother me in daylight, but a return in the evening would, especilly with the only practical way back through a brushy area. My solition was to relax and not hunt the evening. Our place was up on the side of a butte and the valley below was part agriculture and part cattle producing. Every February he coyotes were thick in the cattle heards chowing down on after birth. I never saw them on a calf and the ranchers ignored them. I'm thinking their experince was that the coyotes wern't a threat and they hould have know. I know they will respond to anguish calls and how quick and how persitant always seems to depend on their experince with man. I have pulled them off of stalking antelope and I'm sure when things get tough they will go after deer. I seriously doubt calves are very high on thier list.

I didn't get a real choice. It was easy to find where you stood in the draft during my time and if you weren't going to college or had something physical to disqualify you, you were Army bound if you waited. One of my calls revealed I was lucky number 5 and they had been getting a 6-8 quota a month so I became a volunteer. I got out before Vietnam ramped up and didn't have much to do with that. The biggest excitment in my time was the Berlin Wall and the call up for it and the Cuban crisis, both pretty mild in the scheme of things before and since.

Good point. There are lots of statistics about Lion attacks and dog attacks and in the US more people, about twice as many, are killed by dogs. Overall children are most vulnerable it seems to attacks. I doubt we will likely see any attacks in this part of the country for one simple reason, too much food. In fact the cat he shot would probably be eating high on the hog for awhile without making a kill. He would just eat the deer wounded by piss poor shots. If it were up too me, you shoot a lion he had better be within 20' feet of you. If he's off in the woods somewhere you would pay.
