Hang in ther Rusty! Things seem to start changing around 17-18 years old. Start shutting off the funds and watch them become productive. I have two girls. Now 26 and 22. Just had the youngest move out May 18th. Gee I miss her! Tell someone to buy my house in STL so we can move to Table Rock Lake! Signed, Cardiac

Any beer and bingo! Signed, Cardiac

I concur Chief! People can't explain some things about mother nature. We tend to laugh and scoff at it. How does a new body of water gain natural habitat? The latest in a series of bizarre British weather phenomena is a rain of fish. It may sound like the stuff of legend, but such events are increasingly well documented. On Wednesday, the village of Knighton, in Powys, was reported to have endured such a fishy deluge. Not a story easily believed - an odd site for a Biblical-style plague, one might think, perhaps to be followed by the waters of the nearby River Teme running red with blood? But in fact, as the Met Office explains, such occurrences are not as uncommon as they may sound. Not only are they not quite the miraculous events that they seem, rains of fish - and other even more surprising objects - are reported with some frequency. 1. Fish are picked up from lake 2. Cloud moves over urban area and drops fish They even provided the inspiration for some of the events in the 1999 Paul Anderson film Magnolia, which went to the extreme of having a diver falling from the sky. That may be going too far, assures a Met Office spokesman. Fish are the most common thing to have rained down on you - other than rain itself, of course. Rains of frogs have also been known, as have such strange items as tomatoes and even lumps of coal. Hail, Caesar: Pliny reported a hail of frogs The phenomenon can be explained simply: given strong enough winds, in thunderstorms for example, small whirlwinds and mini-tornadoes may form. When these travel over water any small items of debris in their path, such as fish or frogs, may be picked up and carried for up to several miles. Sooner or later, the clouds carrying them will open and drop their strange cargo - resulting in a hail of fish, frogs or whatever the winds happened to pick up. Weird rains are not limited to Britain - they have been recorded all over the world, throughout the ages. Pliny the Elder, writing in the first century AD, mentioned storms of frogs and fish. Some believe that these events may give a clue to the origin of the plague of frogs recorded in the Book of Exodus. Two US scientists have come up with an explanation of the 10 plagues of Egypt as a series of linked natural disasters - each following as a result of the other. So perhaps the residents of Knighton should continue to keep a nervous eye on the river water. Signed, Cardiac The Cards stink so what else do I have to do?

Hey Chris, I'm moving to TR as soon as this house sells in STL. Been fishing Taney for the past 20 tears. (I know it was on purpose) Need to get an education on TR from you when I get down there. I'll look you up when I get there. I figure the new guy has an edge on the old guys! Signed, Cardiac

I like a 50 cal with tracer rounds followed by an AK47 for some quick reaction. Fish fly out of water ready to pan fry! Who was that Cards closer last night? Wow! Signed, Cardiac

What is a thermocline and what are it's affects? Signed, Cardiac

Sounds Great! A little Ice cream and I'm in bed! Signed, Cardiac

Dad is now 73! Every day I wonder when it will cease. He's always on the go. Golf twice a week, smokes, beer and whiskey a couple times a week, works part time for my company, at the casino and active at church. Best fish story. BSSP. I think I was about 10. We were fishing at the start of the stream where all the big rocks are. A lady slipped off a rock and fell in the water. My dad pointed and laughed his butt off! LOL! She was miserable. Wasn't twenty minutes later, The lady was back. Dad slipped off a rock and fell in the water. I and the lady pointed and laughed our asses off. LOL! What a great Day! Signed, Cardiac

Doesn't matter what kind of fins I catch. Just something to do besides sitting in a motel room.Thanks Terry. Signed, Cardiac

I'll be in Fayetteville AR next week. Will take a little gear with me. Wondering where I can fish and for what near Fayetteville. Please advise. Signed, Cardiac

Oh No! Not again! Signed, Cardiac

I love it! I'm not Dem or Rep. I just like to get it stirred up a little! Signed, Cardiac

DNR? Democrats Not Responsible? Signed, Cardiac

(No political statements here)! Great cover Terry! You crack me up! Signed, Cardiac

Crap! I just can't leave this alone. Pretty much looks like a human funtion. Crap! Fish CRAP can't make it. Escherichia coli (E. coli), is one of the main species of bacteria living in the lower intestines of mammals, known as gut flora. When located in the large intestine, it actually assists with waste processing, vitamin K production, and food absorption. Discovered in 1885 by Theodor Escherich, a German pediatrician and bacteriologist,[1] E. coli are abundant: the number of individual E. coli bacteria in the feces that a human defecates in one day averages between 100 billion and 10 trillion.[citation needed] However, the bacteria are not confined to this environment, and specimens have also been located, for example, on the edge of hot springs. The E. coli strain O157:H7 is one of hundreds of strains of the bacterium that causes illness in humans.[2] As with all Gram-negative organisms, E. coli are unable to sporulate. Thus, treatments which kill all active bacteria, such as pasteurization or simple boiling, are effective for their eradication, without requiring the more rigorous sterilization which also deactivates spores. As a result of their adaptation to mammalian intestines, E. coli grow best in vivo or at the higher temperatures characteristic of such an environment, rather than the cooler temperatures found in soil and other environments.

Crap! Don't get me started! I'm leaving it alone! Crap! Signed, Cardiac

Okay! The ribs are done. The beer is cold. The mussels are in the butter. I'm done ranting! Peace! Signed, Cardiac

We can all throw CRAP out there from the internet. Whether or not Zebra mussles feed on human waste was not the point. My Wheaties are 4 mm in diameter! So what! Again we're back to the big boat owners who do not take responsibility for what they play with! Most boats over 30ft are considered ocean worthy vessels. I hope people enjoy watching their kids swim in LOZ. Signed, Cardiac

Hell, they'd probably open fire anyway! Stay home Mr. Ducky! Signed, Cardiac

I'm all for the EPA regulating pleasure boat discharge! Look at the big CRAP hole of LOZ. If you want to crap in your boat great but dispose of it properly. My guess is Zebra mussels feed on human waste. How can any one who enjoys fishing Missouri waters support such CRAP! Get it CRAP in your fishing waters! "Honey it's almost full. Please flush the 200 gallons of piss, crap, toilet paper, and tampons into the lake." You own a boat in Illinois it is inspected once a year to make sure your boat can't mechanically dump waste. It must be fixed to were you can't dump your waste tank. You dump you pay. I can't see anyone who enjoys being on or IN the water can support this! If you can afford a boat that has a head you can afford to dispose of the waste! Also it does not apply to every one who owns a boat. Only those who have the pleasure of enjoying a boat with a shower and head! Think before a sudden reaction to responding to that CRAP link! Gee! Did I say that? ABDITO! Signed, Cardiac

Get this! according to the government (believe or not believe your choice) the LOZ is the third most dangerous body of water in the US. #1 Atlantic Ocean (crab fishing), #2 Colorado River (rafters), #3 our one and only LOZ (stupidity).LOL! Keep me in Southern Missouri! Abdito! Cardiac

Mr. Ducky, never a problem. You took this serious and a few friends gave their opinions. We're all great people and that is what makes the world go round. Funny how if you just sit back and watch, things seem to take care of them selves sometimes. Abdito and fish! Signed, Cardiac

Okay Boys! Settle down. My Bro is an officer for St Louis County. If the officer on the scene had the plate number he should have been at home of the thief waiting for him. Any respectable officer would have reacted in such manner. This crap about not enough officers is bull. My brother would have jumped all over this due to normal boredom on the job. This officer who responded to the scene is a lazy cop! Contact his superior and explain the situation. The lazy dog cop will get alot of heat. Seems like the type who can't wait to get back to the donut and nap. This is the type of guy that gives good cops a bad image. Once all his brotherhood finds out they will ride him to shame. Bad Boys, whatch ya gonna do! Bad boys! ABDITO! Signed, Cardiac

That is a good use of an ironing board. Wife hasn't used ours for twelve years. Think she'll miss it? Signed, Cardiac

No really! Taking the can of whoop butt and my mother and father! Their like taking kids! Dad slings the bloody fish on the boat seats! Mom falls over while docking the boat! Last time dad tried to pull up the anchor. After I pulled him up then I got the anchor! Can't wait! I'll be ready for Audi's by 4PM! Signed, Cardiac
