So many have never laughed and so many have died before their hair could turn silver. As you get older, it is easier to be positive. You care less about what other people think. I don't question myself anymore. I've even earned the right to be wrong. I like being old. It has set me free. I like the person I have become.

Budget is also a consideration. Ceramic tips would also be nice. What do you recommend as a value-priced bobbin holder meant for the small sewing machine spools?

Neville, I understand totally. This is not a political debate, but a reality we all face and have caused by living in a technological age. As long as we operate vehicles and heat our homes (and AC them), we are going to need sources of power. This is what it's all about. No one, including me, wants to see the the sacrifice of our land and liviability surrendered to the unscruplous and loosely handled operations of the greedy energy conglomerates and Wall St. We all want it, but 'over there, not here'. That's what's driving the whole industry to look for alternte fuels and sources of power. So now in Wyoming we have huge windmill farms that are just as bad as CBM (or logging was) for desecrating the landscapes and horizons. They have to have roads, maintenance crews, distribution lines, etc., and all this messes with the enviornment. No one wants dams anymore, so tear them down. Coal companies fund those efforts. No one wants oil or natural gas operations, especially near them. Obvious reasons, as Neville stated. No one wants the pollution of coal-fired power plants, although with proper scrubbing, they're much better than they used to be. (But electric cars will be needed to make use of the transportation capabilities.) Solar power is an option for generating electricity, but decades from meaningful contributions (like windmills). Geothermal is being done, but too few places, and most of them parks. Volcanoes are a good source of power, but are problemmatical and usually require human sacrifice. (lol) Here they want to take the windmills down in lieu of scenery and the environment. Bio-fuels are expensive to produce, like ethanol, and this has come under fire for corruption and inefficiency. Some local waste-gas systems are efficient, but don't affect the big problems, not yet anyway. Hydrogen may be a way, but it is very problemmatical. Offshore methane hydrate deposits may have more btu's locked up than all the other sources on earth combined, but it is very hard to reach and expensive to get to the surface. We don't even have the technology yet to get it, but some proposals are out there. I say slurry- we'll see. If we can harness lightning, that could be a source, but again, is decades from reality. Nuclear Energy is making a comeback (as GB would say- 'nucular'), but that has it's risks, too. Do you want to live downwind of one? Wood-burning in fireplaces is banned in cities all over the country because of smoke pollution. So, in the big picture, what's working against your favorite fishing and recreating areas? Demand and control. We demand and they control. 'We' are the users and 'they' are the providers (along with the 'parasites' of the providers). Everyone who has their hand in the fuel-till is a parasite of the provider, and the provider is a parasite of the land. Even if one is an energy investor, he has a responsibility for the harm done. So a portion of every dollar you spend on fuel is used to wreck your environment (or their's), and then line the pockets of rich people politicians, and then get you where you want to be, heat your home, and cook your burgers. I don't have to explain how powerful the oil companies are when it comes to detroit and mpg for cars. Wow, all of a sudden cars are getting 35+ mpg. Why didn't they do that 20/30 years ago? Shall I name all the players, your governments included? So we decided to make OPEC rich and then deal with the consequences later (shifting the burden to our children).

All signs point to an early spring and early bug hatches. Much preferred over last year, when it warmed very late and turned wintery early. It felt like our whole fishing season got compressed to July. Hope weather goes better for you. I need a source for inexpensive, quality pine squirrel strips, preferably on hide. There are roughly 15-19 cut pine squirrel strips per hide. The longest strip might be six inches long, the shortest maybe 4.5. I ordered two half skins from Feathercraft, but the order came to $21.85 including shipping. I can order full skins distributed by Wapsi through the local flyshop, but cost unknown at the moment, and probably a bit pricey. The local Wholesale Sports has some closeout Wapsi stripped full skins, but they are all a dark brown. But at $9.99 a full skin, seems reasonable. That's the price range I have found so far. Does anyone know of a quality source for DYED pine squirrel strips on hide? At a reasonable cost? Linesend.com does carry natural pine squirrel hides at $4.95, but they are not stripped and not dyed.

Re: [VFB] Head Magnifiers
Well for me I'm so near sighted that I can barely see past the end of my nose. My normal glasses have a veritable bifocal in them. The trouble with them was they gave me neck pain because I had to tip my head back to see the screen clearly. So my eye doc made me a pair that focus between 18 and 26 inches. I can work on the PC without neck strain and they also work very well tying flies as my vice is centered in the focus zone. Can't drive, or walk down the steps with them, but on the PC reading the paper or tying flies they work great. They don't make things bigger just very clear. From our conservation he makes a lot of them for office workers that are looking at screens all day.
