We survived the British Virgin Islands – great trip but did not catch a tarpon.
Don’t get me started on Robert Strange McNamara. After listening to Daniel Ellsberg on PBS year before last, “Most Dangerous Man in America and the Pentagon Papers (Nominated for an Academy Award 2010 - Best Documentary Feature), I think McNamara must have lied about the war in Viet Nam to Presidents Kennedy and Johnson, US Congress and the American public just about every day for about 7 years and then was awarded the honors of the Medal of Freedom and the Distinguished Service Medal upon his departure. All the time 55,000+ of our finest young men were comin’ home with psychological scars that would not heal for years or forever and others with physical wounds or in wooden boxes. I apologize to all you war hero’s if I offend with my rant on McNamara and that unnecessary war we all endured in our tender years but when I see how our congress feels it’s their obligation to prosecute the likes of Martha Stewart, Barry Bonds, RogerClemons and even ol’ Bill Clinton for lying about whatever, it just pisses me off. Where is the justice? Why is it against the law to lie to a bunch a liars anyway?
You can always tell when a politician is lying cause that’s anytime his/her mouth is moving.
Political Paradox: "Fathom the hypocrisy of a government that requires every citizen to prove they are insured...but not everyone must prove they are a citizen."
Politics and Water Pollution: “You cannot get the water to clear up, until you get the pigs out of the creek.”
Remember: Vote early and vote often.
I’m off to Lake Wobegone for the summer – maybe I’ll hook a big mouth bass or two in SE Iowa in a couple of weeks. I hope to go canoeing up North MN in the Boundary Waters this summer and maybe fish for small mouth and listen to the loons make their soulful sounds in the early morn and late evening.
Stay out of the ditches Beau. I remember going to see Willie, Joan Baez and Bob Dylan’s tour called Rollin’ Thunder Review at UoH’s Hoffienze pavilion around 1972, I think – I guess it was a little play on words.
Try to stay cool in Texas this summer.

like "girls night out" or something!
He took a HARROWING ride today in the mountains that had lot's of switchbacks and on the edge of the cliffs and mountains. It was like 100 mile long snake. Beau says "I want the hell out of this valley" He can not believe he rode on such a road. It he had known about the 90 degree turns he would have said "Hell no!" He is in Staunton, Va. They leave at 9:00 am from Arlington and arrive about 1:00. Today hundreds of people and children waved flags as they rode through towns. Flags on telephone poles, houses, people in lawn chairs cheering them on and fire trucks with the ladders over the rode with American Flags. There are over 1000 riders in this group. There are several other groups already in DC and on the way. Each group in the thousands. There will be between 750,000 and 1,000,000 riders in DC for the ride to the pentagon on Sunday! This a demonstration to remind all about the POWS, MIAs and Wounded!
