DS Fishing Blog

Well, I have to say, I've been enjoying the Southern California Winter weather.  It has been wetter and colder than normal.  God knows we need it too.  Between global warming and global economic meltdown, it seems like we better get in our last few breaths before Armageddon.  So, when it gets below 40 degrees in my neck of the woods, I bust out the scarves and wool hats and revel in it.

I live in the city.  It's a pretty big and bustling one too.  I've learned through experience that to move forward or to get what you want you often have to be aggressive.  This is nowhere more true than in traffic on the freeway.  In my opinion, besides drunk drivers, no one is more dangerous on the freeway than the person who slows down to try and get over to the exit lane.  I'm talking about the person who is so scared and frustrated that nobody has responded to their signal and let them merge that they end up nearly stopped when traffic all around them is moving at 45 plus miles per hour.

Sometimes, I really think the best way to beat this economic crunch is to bury your head in the sand.  Most people think this cliche makes reference to ostriches and their strange habit of plunging their heads into the ground when frightened.  Well, Ostriches are actually quite aggressive beasts, truth be told.  So, upon no further research and with no facts to back it up, I believe it to mean one should go fishing.
