We are a commune of inquiring, skeptical, politically centrist, capitalist, anglophile, traditionalist New England Yankee humans, humanoids, and animals with many interests beyond and above politics. Each of us has had a high-school education (or GED), but all had ADD so didn't pay attention very well, especially the dogs. Each one of us does "try my best to be just like I am," and none of us enjoys working for others, including for Maggie, from whom we receive neither a nickel nor a dime. Freedom from nags, cranks, government, do-gooders, control-freaks and idiots is all that we ask for.
Currier and Ives' The Trout Pool. The guy is fishing for Brookies. That's all there were in the East, back then. Browns are a European import, and Rainbows are an import from the Western US.
Been fishing for the past ten days. Some of the best Western Dry Fly Fishing happens the first weeks of April.
Big Bugs, Little Bugs and Big Fish eating on top...no Brookies. though.
