  1. http://www.gotoquiz.com/what_kind_of_fly_fisher_are_you My results. Your Result: You are a Trout Bum. Yours is the existential quest for knowledge that only running water, cheap weed, and self-delusion can bring. You justify your existence as a pizza slinger/night watchman/taxi driver by pretending the large fish you catch make up for the humiliation of working a low-end job and sleeping alone. You are so different, and yet so many are like you.
  2. I will gladly concede that Sara has more executive experience than any of the other three. However Sen. McCain has at least voted consistently yay or nay unlike present. like the Jr. Senator Obama seems to do.

  4. Great detailed report. Thanks Got me thinking to Dano
  5. Welcome to OAF
  6. Not shure were it comes from but I shoot with pleanty of old timers and would have to say that its the truth.
  7. Presidential Candidate Comparisons - Important Information for all voters SIMPLE MATH: 2008 PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE COMPARISON TALKING POINTS ISSUE JOHN McCAIN BARAK OBAMA Favors new drilling offshore US Yes No Will appoint judges who interpret the law not make it Yes No Served in the US Armed Forces Yes No Amount of time served in the US Senate 22 YEARS 173 DAYS Will institute a socialized national health care plan No Yes Supports abortion throughout the pregnancy No Yes Would pull troops out of Iraq immediately No Yes Supports gun ownership rights Yes No Supports homosexual marriage No Yes Proposed programs will mean a huge tax increase No Yes Voted against making English the official language No Yes Voted to give Social Security benefits to illegals No Yes CAPITAL GAINS TAX MCCAIN 0% on home sales up to $500,000 per home (couples). McCain does not propose any change in existing home sales income tax. OBAMA 28% on profit from ALL home sales. (How does this affect you? If you sell your home and make a profit, you will pay 28% of your gain on taxes. If you are heading toward retirement and would like to down-size your home or move into a retirement community, 28% of the money you make from your home will go to taxes. This proposal will adversely affect the elderly who are counting on the income from their homes as part of their retirement income.) DIVIDEND TAX MCCAIN 15% (no change) OBAMA 39.6% - (How will this affect you? If you have any money invested in stock market, IRA, mutual funds, college funds, life insurance, retirement accounts, or anything that pays or reinvests dividends, you will now be paying nearly 40% of the money earned on taxes if Obama becomes president. The experts predict that 'Higher tax rates on dividends and capital gains would crash the stock market, yet do absolutely nothing to cut the deficit.') INCOME TAX MCCAIN (no changes) Single making 30K - tax $4,500 Single making 50K - tax $12,500 Single making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 60K- tax $9,000 Married making 75K - tax $18,750 Married making 125K - tax $31,250 OBAMA (reversion to pre-Bush tax cuts) Single making 30K - tax $8,400 Single making 50K - tax $14,000 Single making 75K - tax $23,250 Married making 60K - tax $16,800 Married making 75K - tax $21,000 Married making 125K - tax $38,750 Under Obama, your taxes could almost double! INHERITANCE TAX MCCAIN - 0% (No change, Bush repealed this tax) OBAMA Restore the inheritance tax Many families have lost businesses, farms, ranches, and homes that have been in their families for generations because they could not afford the inheritance tax. Those willing their assets to loved ones will only lose them to these taxes. NEW TAXES PROPOSED BY OBAMA New government taxes proposed on homes that are more than 2400 square feet. New gasoline taxes (as if gas weren't high enough already) New taxes on natural resources consumption (heating gas, water, electricity) New taxes on retirement accounts, and last but not least....New taxes to pay for socialized medicine so we can receive the same level of medical care as other third-world countries!!! You can verify the above at the following web sites: http://money.cnn.com/news/specials/election/2008/index.html http://www.cnn.com/ELECTION/2008/issues/issues.taxes.html http://elections.foxnews.com/?s=proposed+taxes http://bulletin.aarp.org/yourworld/politic...s_on_taxes.html http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checke...s/barack_obama/ http://blog.washingtonpost.com/fact-checke...es/john_mccain/ _________________ Don't get in a fight with an old man.

  8. Sent out most every day. I do have a feeling that most left in the area are those that have learned to be better prepared and to go while they can this time. But there are still some that need to be watched better this time around. I won't comment on the gun grabbers from last time. http://www.liveleak.com/view?i=632_1190169940
  9. Obama: - "Defaulted" into Senate due to other candidate dropping out of race - Basically started running for POTUS immediately upon entering Senate, only 100 something ish days. Mostly voted "present". No bills or accomplishments to speak of. - Most liberal, leftist senator. Palin: - Worked as councilwoman, then mayor, and eventually Governor for nearly two years. - Has the "executive experience" Obama lacks. - Deals with Russia routinely for commercial fishing disputes, and Canada for transportation issues. - Cut state budget and pork, had surplus of money and started state savings account, all while lowering income and property taxes. - Has the actual "conservative values" most all conservatives seek in a candidate. I think Palin's experience is MUCH more significant than Obama (who has ZERO). Also, Obama is running for THE NUMBER ONE position. While McCain is old, he is healthy, it's possible the VP may have to take over if he should pass - SHE is not running for the NUMBER ONE position like Obama is (again, ZERO experience). I like her and believe she will pick up a few Hillery votes and more importantly is someone that republicans can and will be excited to vote for.
  10. I have to believe that all this can been done for personal memories while in the water moments prior to release. However it would exclude moving the fish away from the banks where you are fishing. There for excluding taking a fish to certified scales. So I do agree with the rest of your post but wanted everyone to realized that a photo could still be taken. JJ
  11. I did a quick Google search and found the sight listed at the bottom. It had a few reels pictured and a couple of the rods listed also. Really an interesting concept for a rod and reel set up. I have a couple of inherited Garcia reels models 300 and 301 I believe. I had not bothered to look up anything about them since they have continued to work flawlessly since before I was around. Thanks for the curiosity spark. http://www.networkdimension.com/garciamitchell.html
  12. Browsing another forum look at what I found ....Some may like them but I personally find them very odd to say the least. http://www.vibramfivefingers.com/products/products_Flow.cfm
  13. You would think that if they wanted to actually sell this place they would ad more pictures or maybe a Google earth link.
  14. So is that a giant bullhead? I know what we have read it was but sure doesn't look like a channel or flat to me.
  15. If we could just vote option C nun of the above. And If there are more C's checked than either A or B. We the people get to hold new elections with different choices. Which would automatically lead to four or five political parties. A win win I my book. However this is the real world and I do not believe that the two political parties in the country would ever allow this to happen. Why? POWER!!!! They have been given to much, are drunk with it, and want more. "There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern.

  22. HOW TO START EACH DAY WITH A POSITIVE OUTLOOK: 1. Open a new file in your computer. 2. Name it 'Barack Obama'. 3. Send it to the Recycle Bin. 4. Empty the Recycle Bin. 5. Your PC will ask you: 'Do you really want to get rid of 'Barack Obama?' 6. Firmly Click 'Yes.' 7. Feel better? GOOD - Tomorrow we'll do Nancy Pelosi!
