There are a similar number of tournaments in the northeast, southwest,
and northwest coasts of Florida as well.

And there are 1000's of smaller, community-based tournaments as well
over the year.

If you added up the number of fishing tournaments and the purses from
those tournaments from every state that borders the Great Lakes, they
still wouldn't equal the numbers that Florida produces every year.






That's correct. There's no question that on a state for state basis,
Florida leads in fishing venues and opportunities. If you can't catch
fish in Florida, go to Red Lobster.

Ironically, if you go to Red Lobster here in Florida, you'll probably get
fish from out of state.

The one good thing about Red Lobster is consistency. It's equally
terrible wherever you go...so you should know better than trying it, with
the idea that it might actually be better in states that border the sea.




Oh, I don't eat there, but it is everywhere. Most of the seafood houses I
visit are local, except for Legal Seafood, which is pretty damned good.
It's one of the few places where I will order raw cherrystones without
worrying about hepatitis.


It's not the hepatitis you have to fear. It's the vibrio.

Besides, many of the crew working the commercial boats are not exactly
paragons of health. A large number of them are heroin addicts, and likely
have any of a number of fatal diseases that go along with sharing needles
and the lifestyle that follows.


Cook your seafood!

Red Lobster was a decent franchise at one time. The last time I ate
there the fish was dry and overcooked. The problem with most of the
franchise restuarants is finding someone in the kitchen who actually
knows how to cook. They try to make the prep idiot proof, but the
quality that hits the table, shows they have not perfected it. Red
Lobster is not unique, it is a problem with most of the franchise
restaurants.

To get good quality food in a restaurant, you need to have a chef who
knows what he is doing.

Please. Not at my age.

BTW, our dentist got a new toy. I'm not sure what it is, but it cost
around $75K and uses a laser to remove out bits of decay. Or so my wife
says; she had a bitty cavity treated this past week as part of a cleaning,
and that's what the explanation of the machine was. Painless, no local
anesthesia.

Hard tissue laser. I looked into them, but the majority of the work that I
do involves cutting away old amalgam metal fillings, and old crowns that
have recurrent decay. The laser doesn't work on those.

It's great for kids,and adults with "bitty cavities"...but not so great for
cutting crown preps and such.

If I'm going to spend $75-100k on a piece of dental equipment, it will be on
one of these:

http://www.cereconline.com/

CAD/CAM milling machines that can make a porcelain crown while the patient
is in the office. No impression. No temp. No two week wait for the lab to
make the crown. No recurring lab bills.

I found the Legal Seafood in Boston overcrowed, overpriced, and the
