I'm pretty sure the trout in the icicle will take absolutely any fly you drift their way. I saw a few folks fishing above the road closure on my way to ida lake saturday. Looked like some nice holes up there. I suspect the closure will improve upper creek fishing. Tru nough - the trout are liking the Caddis of any color but the olive or dung colored seem to get the most nibbles. Parking at the washout and venturing out a mile or two to some nice holes made for great fishing!

I typically buy Chopin. I don't go over often enough to bring back anything. Besides, I tend to save my two-bottle customs limit for cognac and armagnac I picked up in the duty-free. The state-owned liquor stores here suck donkey dick and all stock the same mass-produced shite. I miss the good specialty stores in California... My favs are Zubrowka and Luksusowa but I can't really find them easily in EWash. There is a really good Fraser River Canadian Vodka, though can't recall the name off hand.

I trust any Mountie wearing a skirt and a padded bra!

How about a good Polish Vodka instead?!

Who should head up the Inquisition Team?

Oh, a world were we have universal health care to pay for the free legal dope smoking. Like the old western movies were the good guys wore white (how did they keep it clean out there riding for days on end) and the bad guys wore black and hadn't taken a spit bath in two weeks.

By law the ERs are not allowed to turn someone away based on lack of ability to pay for the treatment.

Bless them - all is not lost. Will it be in black and white or color?

Are you saying the good will not prevail and that evil has fallen over the lands??

Perhaps it is in the water in Spain?? or they have been doing way to much R&D into human performance enhancement. Two of the doctors implicated in the past 5 years with blood doping and EPO use have been Spanish.

Seems like the Spanish have been hell bent on using EPO to win this year (ie. Tour de France & Giro).

So, noo poo or old pooh??

Oh, your such a tease

Reuse, recycle...like it.

Well, at least there's shit and it happens!

Ou, la, la.......my type of reader!

I have read his books on both Truman and John Adams. A bit dry in places but good and very well written. I haven't seen the series, would like to though.

"Research "Trail of Tears" and you'll understand." Yes, it was part of the party politics that got Jackson elected and Van Buren enforced it by removing 7,000 Indians. Over 38,000 Native Americans were moved in a 10 year period. Lots of pressure for westward expansion - not an excuse though. Perhaps is not a top 5??

US Grant ran what many historians say was the most corrupt administration in American history to this day. I've never thought Buchanan was associated with too much corruption, but he failed to take any steps whatsoever to calm the sectionalism that led to war. Harding fathered a child in a broom closet adjacent to the oval office--claimed he never wanted to be president and was not qualified. GWB will rate mediocre IMO. Too soon to say in any event. William Henry Harrison died in office after only 30 days! Why him? Andrew Jackson is much revered, but he was basically a butcher. Research "Trail of Tears" and you'll understand. Buchanan and his cronies, Chief Justise Roger B. Taney, to promote slavery in the territories. Buchanan personally lobbied his fellow Pennsylvanian Justice Robert Cooper Grier to vote with the majority in that case to uphold the right of owning slave property. A. Jackson was good and bad as was Nixon.

After more thought, I guess I've always been a big fan of Polk's work ethic. I'm surprised you haven't asked me about Tyler. Nothing is wrong with Tyler just wondering why you picked him over others?? Who is your favorite politician that never became president? (ie: Alexander Hamilton, Stephen Douglas, William Jennings Bryan...) I've always liked Henry Cabot Lodge. Of the folks you mentioned Alexander Hamilton is one. Another would be Ben Franklin.

You never participated. What are your picks? Okay! 5 Best George Washington FDR - some may say he took advantage by having three terms but he was the right man at the time Theodore Roosevelt - leadership, conservation, etc. Abraham Lincoln Andrew Jackson/Dwight D. Eisenhower 5 Worst James Buchanan - put economy in toilet and corruption Ulysses S. Grant - what were they thinking George W. Bush - 'nough said! William H. Harrison Warren Harding

So, Fairweather - Why are FDR & Jimmy Carter in the Worst section?? What gives?

Oh, no!!! I am crushed. How could the publishers do that to the educated masses?!

135lbs but I like to think I am adding muscle!

Something to hang your hat on, DeC!
