To The Eagle: "For the government to permit banks to issue money, borrow that money, and pay interest on it is idiotic!" --Bill Hixon. Requiring commercial gillnet fishermen to try to fish in a little puddle is idiotic! It would be something akin to requiring that sport fishermen only be allowed to fish from port district docks, not floats, docks where ships tie up. That, too, would be idiotic! Giving the Army Corps of Engineers a pass on dealing with the increased erosion on the Steamboat Slough dike caused by their projects and actions is...

To The Eagle, With continuing increases of atmospheric oxidation product concentrations and hot winds (oxidation produced tri-atomic molecules and hot winds associated with bureaucratic society), increases in habitat will likely occur without the expense of dike breaching.

Following back-to-back losses to Morton-White Pass and Onalaska in mid-December, the Mules have won six straight games and closed out the first half of the season on a strong note.

Our girls...

If it does happen to show up, please take extra care and caution when driving around in it, as you may know what you're doing, but that other guy might not! SPECIAL DAYS--Those celebrating birthdays this coming week...
