Fishing was good considering!

BIG THANKS to Mike and Barbara Thomas and Felicia for all of their hard work and hospitality and to the BIG PLUGHUNA Slipknot for keeping a great tradition alive! I had a blast seeing everyone and chewing the fat! I am a cynical person by nature and my faith in human nature tends to fall quite a bit short of my expectations most days......but as usual, I saw a group of the friendliest, most generous and good hearted folks I have ever had the pleasure of spending an afternoon with and I want to thank you all for a great day! Back to the "A" holes tomorrow but tonight....basking in a good days glow!
