Anyway, Owen had a little bit of beginners luck. We fished from about 11:00 am to about 3:00 pm. We started at Wino, one of my favorite beaches. [...]

Because I work for the State of Nevada, I get to take one furlough a month, or a day without pay to those not fluent in human resources speak. Anyway, I am taking the furlough this Friday and I also get the MLK holiday on Monday. By my calcs, that’s a four day weekend. So, [...]
