“So if everything goes to pot, I know who to visit!” or “Be Prepared!”

March 29, 2012 by db

“So if everything goes to pot, I know who to visit!” This was a line of a conversation with a long-time friend. And a line I hear from LOTS of folks. And it bothers me. Not because I think I will have a house full if things “go to pot”, but because

Volunteers or, “Free food you weren’t expecting”

March 22, 2012 by db

(See part 1 here) I had the day free, so I went surf fishing. Subconsciously, I’m positive it was just an excuse to go catch some mullet, since I never bring a castnet to the surf…yet today I had one. Good thing, I was catching
