Some of the 'minor' setbacks are not enjoyable to deal with, but on the other hand, the upsides are so very great. And no, my boat hasn't been in the water but once this year, I wasn't able to wade the Madison, and I'm trying to lose weight - but I still enjoy old age. Someone sent me this just this week and it describes my attitude exactly - especially the last paragraph. Al -- "Good friends are like quilts-they age with you, yet never lose their warmth." I have seen too many dear friends leave this world too soon, before they understood the great freedom that comes with aging. W business is it if I choose to read, or play on the computer, until 4 AM, or sleep until noon? I will dance with myself to those wonderful tunes of the 40s. 50s, & 60s and if I at the same time wish to weep over a lost love, I will. I will walk the beach in a swim suit that is stretched over a bulging body and will dive into the waves with abandon if I choose to, despite the pitying glances from the jet set. They too will get old some day - if they're lucky. I know I am sometimes forgetful. But there again, some of life is just as well forgotten. And, eventually, I usually remember the important things. Sure, over the years my heart has been broken. How can your heart not break when you lose a loved one, or when a child suffers, or even when somebody's beloved pet gets hit by a car? But broken hearts are what give us strength, understanding, and compassion. A heart never broken is pristine and sterile, and will never know the joy of being imperfect. I am so blessed to have lived long enough to have my hair turning gray and to have my youthful laughs be forever etched into deep grooves on my face. So many have never laughed and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong. I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become. I am not going to live forever, but while I am still here I will not waste time lamenting what could have been or worrying about what will be. And I shall eat dessert every single day (but only if I feel like it). -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "VFB Mail" group.

A size 8 6X long ringed eyed hook most body's are embossed silver tinsel. Black nose dace body silver tinsel a few black bucktail tied in convectional down wing style a little longer than the hook. Leave extra room at the tie in point. Tie in a small bunch of brown bucktail on top of the hook tips facing forward . Turn hook over and tie in a small bunch of white tips facing forward. Turn the hook back to the upright position and the pull the brown and white to the rear keeping them separated . brown on top white to the bottom. Bind the bucktail to the hook with a narrow band of red thread. coat the head with three or four coats of lacquer when dry add a white eye with black center. The hair is much easier to work with if you wet it before tying in.. It helps to control and keep the colors separated. Emerald shiner hook size 10 to size 2 body: embossed green tinselor fluorescent green floss ribbed with medium embossed silver tinsel. the top of the head and back are brown bucktail. The bottom of the head and belly are white bucktail. The eye is yellow with a black center.

Neville, I understand totally. This is not a political debate, but a reality we all face and have caused by living in a technological age. As long as we operate vehicles and heat our homes (and AC them), we are going to need sources of power. This is what it's all about. No one, including me, wants to see the the sacrifice of our land and liviability surrendered to the unscruplous and loosely handled operations of the greedy energy conglomerates and Wall St. We all want it, but 'over there, not here'. That's what's driving the whole industry to look for alternte fuels and sources of power. So now in Wyoming we have huge windmill farms that are just as bad as CBM (or logging was) for desecrating the landscapes and horizons. They have to have roads, maintenance crews, distribution lines, etc., and all this messes with the enviornment. No one wants dams anymore, so tear them down. Coal companies fund those efforts. No one wants oil or natural gas operations, especially near them. Obvious reasons, as Neville stated. No one wants the pollution of coal-fired power plants, although with proper scrubbing, they're much better than they used to be. (But electric cars will be needed to make use of the transportation capabilities.) Solar power is an option for generating electricity, but decades from meaningful contributions (like windmills). Geothermal is being done, but too few places, and most of them parks. Volcanoes are a good source of power, but are problemmatical and usually require human sacrifice. (lol) Here they want to take the windmills down in lieu of scenery and the environment. Bio-fuels are expensive to produce, like ethanol, and this has come under fire for corruption and inefficiency. Some local waste-gas systems are efficient, but don't affect the big problems, not yet anyway. Hydrogen may be a way, but it is very problemmatical. Offshore methane hydrate deposits may have more btu's locked up than all the other sources on earth combined, but it is very hard to reach and expensive to get to the surface. We don't even have the technology yet to get it, but some proposals are out there. I say slurry- we'll see. If we can harness lightning, that could be a source, but again, is decades from reality. Nuclear Energy is making a comeback (as GB would say- 'nucular'), but that has it's risks, too. Do you want to live downwind of one? Wood-burning in fireplaces is banned in cities all over the country because of smoke pollution. So, in the big picture, what's working against your favorite fishing and recreating areas? Demand and control. We demand and they control. 'We' are the users and 'they' are the providers (along with the 'parasites' of the providers). Everyone who has their hand in the fuel-till is a parasite of the provider, and the provider is a parasite of the land. Even if one is an energy investor, he has a responsibility for the harm done. So a portion of every dollar you spend on fuel is used to wreck your environment (or their's), and then line the pockets of rich people & politicians, and then get you where you want to be, heat your home, and cook your burgers. I don't have to explain how powerful the oil companies are when it comes to detroit and mpg for cars. Wow, all of a sudden cars are getting 35+ mpg. Why didn't they do that 20/30 years ago? Shall I name all the players, your governments included? So we decided to make OPEC rich and then deal with the consequences later (shifting the burden to our children).

We want a place where we can lay on the beach, enjoy some sun in Jan (I'm from Montana), and can do some saltwater fishing. I have never done any saltwater fishing, just interested in catching some good fish, don't really care what they are. They don't have to be a high profile fish like Bonefish or something, although that would be fun too. We are also looking into multiple destinations during our trip.

Re: [VFB] Head Magnifiers
Well for me I'm so near sighted that I can barely see past the end of my nose. My normal glasses have a veritable bifocal in them. The trouble with them was they gave me neck pain because I had to tip my head back to see the screen clearly. So my eye doc made me a pair that focus between 18 and 26 inches. I can work on the PC without neck strain and they also work very well tying flies as my vice is centered in the focus zone. Can't drive, or walk down the steps with them, but on the PC reading the paper or tying flies they work great. They don't make things bigger just very clear. From our conservation he makes a lot of them for office workers that are looking at screens all day.

I started tying when I was in the 5th grade and have tied sporadically ever since except for my tenure in grad school. I started fly-fishing about a year after I started tying. I primarily fish warmwater ponds (once or twice a year - I know - shameful!) and occasionally Taneycomo or Bennett Spring State Park. I have been on VFB I think since 1998 or 1999.
