    Whats going on in the World

    I wasn't passing judgement on whether it was good or bad. Just observing the hypocrisy of the .gov going after landlords while ignoring it's own failure as a landlord. Mahmdummy is only going to make it worse when he starts implementing his plans to "fix" housing in NYC.

    'Ticha going after landlords. I wonder if she'll go after NYCHA too, since the same problems exist in government run housing? https://www.news10.com/news/watch-new-york-attorney-general-letitia-james-making-an-announcement-in-the-hudson-valley/

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    Just to clarify, Linda Greenlaw did not write Perfect Storm. She was interviewed for it and is portrayed in it, but the book was written by Sebastian Junger. That was the catalyst for her writing career, and she's an excellent author. But credit where it is due.

    Books (Good reads) about fishing.

    Zane Grey and Earnest Hemingway wrote some good fish stories. Perfect Storm, by Sebastian Junger is just as much about fishing as it is about weather, and rescue swimmers. I'm slowly nibbling my way through Michener's Chesapeake. A lot to digest, but lots of history of baymen.

    the "Headline That Caught My Attention or the WTF" thread

    I'm kind of up to my eyeballs with these fu¢#ing idiots who love scaly things bringing them into an environment they don't belong in and then either not securing them properly or "releasing" them into the wild when they get out of hand. Iguanas falling out of trees and giant snakes in the...

    Whats going on in the World

    Basically the author's argument is that there are enough Americans to do the job. So, I guess we don't need to import foreigners to fill the positions.

    I've probably mentioned this before, but my father told me that when he was a kid there were usually six weeks around February where it wouldn't go above freezing. We used to have an ice boat. I only got to ride on it once because the bay wasn't freezing over as often anymore. It was a heck of...

    Its cold

    Well, yeah. I got spoiled by the earlier warm weather and wasn't really expecting this long a cold stretch. Pure optimism, or laziness on my part. I'll let you guess which one.

    Its cold

    It's in the water all year round. Not because I have designs on going cod fishing, mind you.

    Its cold

    It was a scorching 12° today when I broke down and put the ice eater in. I had plans to build a spreader to hang the whole thing on the boat so it would be centered, balanced and wouldn't wind itself up when it started. I had the materials, but it wasn't such a priority in August. :rolleyes:

    Impending NYC Financial Meltdown...

    Looks like Mr. 'Everything Will Be Free' Mahmdummy ran out of other people's money much sooner than expected. Should be interesting to watch.

    Just curious,.. When will the followers of the book of Mohammad apologize for slavery. Seems like only one race, or nationality gets blamed for slavery. Or, realistically anything bad. 🤔...

    Yeah, but... Too bad AI can't actually make that movie. I'd pay money to see it.

    Oh Hell no

    To be fair,... I think the wide-angle lens probably makes it look a lot worse than it really is. Call it media distortion.
