Was a pretty good evening. Came home in time to run a few rounds through the AR, and then get some line wet.? I pulled this 2 pounder out of the pond with a grass frog at about 7:30. I really like living down here. Yeah, this is pretty much my normal routine when time and daylight permits.
The very best…
Sometimes it’s almost creepy how quiet it is out here. When the breeze is just right I can sometimes hear a truck off in the distance, or the faint howl of a neighbors dog. No cars, or sirens, or jets, or the nearly constant buzz that permiates urbania. Some would say its a lonely existance, but I find it peaceful. I do miss the company of Kinsee during the week, but that’s just the way of things.
Finally kicked AT&T to the curb. I simply got tired of crappy reception at home, and all the dropped calls. Completely unacceptable. Ended up getting a Motorola Droid2. Awesome phone, and great call service. Also, it has the capability to be a mobile 3G hotspot, and the speed is great at home. I’m impressed all around. I do wish the guys work would quit begging for iPhones. Droid ROCKS!

And just a thought, chances are that this is someone who probably doesn’t have medical insurance, but thanks to Da O, he soon will, at your expense. Oh, and this does prove that stupidity is, and always should be, painful. Too bad it’ll be on our dime in the near future. Maybe.
