Now Jimmy, how are all those guv'ment bail-out programs supposed to work unless good folk like you cough up half your hard-earned dollars? I mean, how's a rich exec. or dead-beat supposed to get by these days unless you contribute?
OTOH, it'll be good to have your undivided attention here from now on. We won't be paying you (just to keep the IRS off your back), but we DO expect you to keep this list lively, entertaining, technically enlightening, on track, well policed, monitored, current, and generally a great place for Buggs and Dr. D to hang out.

In case you haven't noticed, I've been pretty much 'hit or miss' with the QFTD and JFTD lately. My editor job with Texas Fish & Game magazine has grown to the point that I really don't have time to look up new fly fishing quotes and new jokes. Also, I have not been able to work on my second Moon Holler Misfits outdoor humor book. My publisher is just about ready to give me the boot! Most of the 100 + of you who bought my first book are pissed at me too, especially Mr. Fish! To keep Allan at "bay", I send him a new chapter now and then. :-P So . . . What to do? I'm resigning my fishing editor job and my last column will be the July Issue of Texas Fish & Game Magazine. The real clincher in my decision came when I did my "independant contractor" stuff for my 2008 taxes. I had to pay the IRS for the first time in ten years, all because of my editor job. To make a long story short, Uncle Sam got just about half of my TFG pay for 2008. It's just not worth it for me to continue. However, I will still do "spot" jobs for TFG, so my foot is still in the door. Now, I'll have the time to finish Moon Holler II. I'vebeen promising all of you who bought my first book that I would GIT-ER-DONE for the last four years. Now, I have no excuse for not doing it, so. Have A Great Day ! **************** ><((((((((º> ************** JIMMY D. MOORE, North Zone Fishing Editor TF&G mag.
