  1. Do the beachfront owners in Salisbury consider the beach their private property? They do on several beaches, and as this stuff continues it will be interesting to see how anxious taxpayers are to bail them out.
  2. Can't wait! I jumped a decent tarpon this morning on my 9 weight but in my haste to pack I neglected to put on a shock tippet lol. No way I could land one from the reef I was on but so nice to feel that pull! 3 more days in PR, then depression can set in again...
  3. I lived and fished there for 26 years, some ups and downs. Start out around Mother's Day in the marshes with some olive and white minnow patterns (I use craft fur for these). Most of the best access points are pretty well known but if you need some info shoot me a PM and I'll start you off. I want to say Fly Fisherman mag had an article on the area that was online and it was pretty accurate too. I'll look around to see if I have the link anywhere.
  4. Almost stepped on one but that was it. Need new waders
  5. Thinking about a few casts in an hour or 2 and naturally as soon as I think this it starts snowing here lol. Probably just a quick squall though....
  6. Or are they just the squeaky wheel? Because it would be easy to look at just the most visible input and think nazis outnumber common sense conservatives as well. I doubt very much either is true, but common sense anything doesn't sell.
  7. I've always believed there is a core of things most reasonable adults would have in common, then there are things that we do not have in common because life experiences (upbringing, jobs, education, etc.) have brought us there. Finally there are dog whistles which we have been trained to respond to by leaders, by the media, by whoever. Some life experiences probably make people more or less susceptible to the dog whistles on either side, even if those dog whistles have absolutely no effect on them whatsoever. Media focusses on dog whistles, that's their pot of gold, so it behooves them to convince all people whose life experiences make them lean left that all conservatives are semi literate gun nuts trying to impose christian sharia. Similarly media works hard to convince anyone leaning right that librels are cross dressing hippies who want to line them up against a wall and pull a Fidel/Che on them. It works mostly, unless a situation comes along where 2 individuals have to sit down and spend open minded time together, at which point I think many will revert back to the core commonalities. But maybe I'm an optimist on that last point.
  8. I looked at a house in Mass decades ago, Georgetown I believe. The realtor disclosed that a murder happened there. We passed.
  9. Of course in today's market, at least when I was selling the McMansion 2 years ago, buyers were paying cash and every offer I had waived inspection. Which bummed me out because I had one done before I listed it and I fixed everything they found. I probably could have saved $25K and they wouldn't have blinked.
  10. I have 2 houses in Maine, both had "Unknown" for every disclosure. Of course my inspectors did their job and I got everything resolved, but "Unknown" is allowable and is used. My .02 is if you see that on a listing you damned well better be getting inspections done.
  11. Looks a lot better than my last attempt a couple weeks ago! A few more sunny days and we'll be jammin'!
  12. I've had a few memorable rides in this one over the years;
  13. The guys from Scrubs singing for t-mobile is getting real old
  14. The crashed Honda had Maine plates, stolen maybe? The Dodge was found in Standish, so not like they headed to Lowell or Lawrence. Every state has scumbags unfortunately, even here.
  15. My brother in law is a person of color, and an extremely wealthy one. He's quite brilliant and devoted his whole life to his job. Thus the Lamborghini in the garage next to the Ferrari next to the Bentley. They moved to an area in Fl where people live that way and they love it because as he says "the only color that matters is green".
