Carpe Diem

Rolled out of bed early on Sunday morning, grabbed the pole and a pocketful of worms, and headed down to the waterline. Lake was down, trash (organic and inorganic) from the recent rains was floating along, and there it was. That same old carp. I’d recognize that fin anywhere. I half-heartedly tossed a worm in Carpe Diem

Bumper sticker

Bumper sticker Found in South Austin – but I’m not sure what it means. Irony, juxtaposition, or just straight up fact? Speaks volumes on so many different levels. Or, with apologies, sometimes a bumpersticker is just a bumpersticker. [i]Unrelated:[/i] I got a query email from another local astrologer. Put me in a bit of quandary. Bumper sticker

The latest toy. Too bad it’s not, like, exactly fishing season. Not that it’s a bad time to fish, it’s jut not an excellent time to fish.

Two-meat Tuesday

Two-meat Tuesday 1. Sunrise 2. Troy: the movie 1. Sunrise was a little delayed for me, having to poke over the power plant in order to get to me.

Perfect days

Perfect days. Order and simplicity. Something like that. Up early and fished out on the east side.

I’m so stoned

It was Sister, at 6 in the morning, calling me up to let me know that the painkillers were working. Thank you for that information. At 6 in the morning, a holiday morning, a [i]holiday Sunday[/i] morning, her mental condition was rather amusing. She’d had a lump removed, about the size of marble, and the I’m so stoned

Holiday

It was a holiday for the fish. I rolled out of bed, full well intending to hit the trail and fish, and couldn’t stir forth. Went back to bed, instead.
