Why do you guys keep quoting song lyrics? I'm just tellin' stories about my life.

every time you planted your seed, he said "kill it before it grows" Sherriff John Brown was a jerk.

Hey Joe. I DID hear you caught her messin' round town. I had a girl once. Called her Sugar Magnolia. She can dance a Cajun rhythm and jump like a Willys in four wheel drive. She's got everything I need. Takes the wheel when I'm seeing double and pays my ticket when I speed.

Whoa!! What? That's awesome!

Dude, there were ALL kinds of animals back then.

Jerry and I used to hang out in Marin county. I had an VW camper van and jug band with this hairy little dude they called Emmet Otter. Strange days indeed.

One time, I lit out from Reno and I was trailed by twenty hounds. Didn't get to sleep that night till the morning came around. But, Ran into the Devil and he loaned me twenty bills and I spent the night in Utah in a cave up in the hills. I ran down to the levee but the Devil caught me there. He took my twenty dollar bill and he vanished in the air. But I Got two reasons why I cry away each lonely night. The first one's named sweet Anne Marie and she's my hearts delight. The second one is prison, babe, the sheriff's on my trail and if he catches up with me, I'll spend my life in jail got a wife in Chino, babe and one in Cherokee. First one says she's got my child, but it don't look like me.

Here's an example of local, state and federal agencies working on a case together. The original charge was a gun charge. Most of the state legislators that right these laws don't think through the ramifications. Springfield Police Department; Homeland Security Investigations; The Drug Enforcement Administration; the Missouri State Highway Patrol; the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives; the Christian County Sheriff's Office; the Webster County Sheriff's Office; the Missouri Department of Revenue and the Greene County Prosecuting Attorney. https://www.news-leader.com/story/news/2022/02/08/springfield-police-explain-how-they-took-down-catalytic-converter-theft-ring-evan-marshall-arrest/6662715001/

Guns are toys to way too many people.

That state is Missouri. These articles give more detail. I think many Law Enforcement Agencies don't like because it prevents locals from ever working with Feds on anything because the law was written poorly. I know the Springfield Chief has spoken against it in other articles. https://www.ky3.com/2022/02/06/reports-missouri-supreme-court-hear-challenge-new-gun-law-monday/ This article gives even more detail. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/challenge-to-controversial-gun-law-set-to-be-heard-by-missouri-high-court/article_80182719-08ec-57ec-b5d7-60688935e1f5.html

That orange guy is cool. I do not have the patience for deer hair.

Agreed, so I would put the rabbit strip in the inside of the hook and poke a hole through it. I think it would lay right then. My $.02

With the hook shape and the eyes, won't it ride barb up? I'd put the strip on the inside of the hook.

I watched a nice documentary of Joe Humphreys today and looked up his Cress Bug, which is a scud as best as I can tell. Caveats: I suck at dubbing. I couldn't find my wax so I used a glue stick. It's a size 10 nymph Daiichi 2170, few wraps of led, grey scud dubbing, and grizzly hackle trimmed. Seems appropriate for Crane Creek since I see so much watercress there and it's similar to those Pennsylvania streams Humphreys fished.

Thanks! I'm anxious to tie a half dozen more and, of course, use them.

A few more before I start chopping potatoes for dinner.

This is what I used. That jig is a little rumpled, but it did catch a fish at RR. Just Add H2O Craft Fur

I have some craft fur by itself on a black head. Caught some at RR last summer on it. It seems much more supple than bucktail which was my inspiration. I'll dig them out. Here's another color combo, though I never catch anything on "natural" rabbit.

Tired of TV, so I tied up some jigs. 1/8th oz collar-less heads. Olive craft fur tails with olive rabbit zonker strips palmered forward. Ta-dah!

I'm not crying. My eyes are sweating. I'm in head-to-toe fleece and my wife has the furnace cranked.

What are you heads made of? (I know foam). Are you buying those or making them?

My point is the vax has been proven safe without the data being released and the one the wasn't safe was given a giant asterix and not released in our country. So all the "idk if it's safe" conversation from Rogan and Aaron Rogers-types is moot. It's been proven safe. Are there a very outliers with bad reactions? Yes. And some people can't eat shellfish or peanuts. But for the very vast majority of us, it's fine. Yes, you can still get it. But the rates in which the vaxed are getting it is significantly smaller number than the unvaxed. So the delta outbreak would have maybe been a 1/4 of the size. The omicron would have been significantly smaller too. Does that make sense?

Holy cow. That's awesome!

Science is magic!

I don't know your district, but if a district can field enough "players", they can't open school. You can't have 3rd grade seated and 4th grade virtual. I'm going back to watching my Rams choke again.
