Happy 17th birthday Jackson!
Had a few calls and e-mails asking about the progress on the house, sorry, been away for a while; in Ohio and West Virginia last week. The Fishin Optishin made his annual birthday trip the weekend before, and we were fortunate to catch plenty, and I mean plenty of fish. Pictures will follow.
In the mean time, for your viewing pleasure here's a shot from a few years ago on the mighty Pamlico River. My father and grandmother sitting on a dock with a cinder block at their feet. Dave and I got tired of the jellyfish in the river and decided to single-handedly change their population and thereby the ecosystem of the entire Pamlico River/Sound. We were unsuccessful in our attempt, and very messy. To this day our pictures still appear in jellyfish, OK, stinging nettles post offices worldwide. In 2006 there was a failed assassination attempt on me in the British Virgin Islands as a result of this jellyfish-o-cide campaign of 1966.

Fishing pictures soon, I hope. Off to Charlotte tomorrow for the rest of the week.

Interesting story about the jellies. Don't know if you're a Survivor fan or not, but in Micronesia, there is a Jellyfish Lake where you can swim with the non-stinging variety. Would you be up for that?

Dueling Banjos No, the odd looking young man did not play the banjo in the movie, here is how the movie-magic people did it: Fake sleeves !!...
