If your New England lobster claws taste rubbery, you have cooked them improperly. Me, I like lobster, New England or Florida. Mini-season was always great fun. |

I think it is more about the handling & preparation. I am continually amazed at how some people can screw up a really good fillet. Actually my wife says the same as you in regards to lobster, so I guess then I must be wrong. I figured you were just teasin a bit, as was I. Now if you want to go and get poltical, then I bow out of the conversation. Too much wasted bandwidth on that as it is. ;) p.s. If you ever get down this way (SW Fla), maybe I can show a secret redfish spot or two. |

The only true fishing is in the dead of winter, and that consists of sitting in your house next to the stove dreaming of it. I've lived in that crap, and I've lived in the south, give me the south ANYTIME. You really should broaden your horizons! |

I can't find it at this moment, but I have a picture at home of an expedition to some place in the Atlantic Basin off the Continental shelf in about a bizillion feet of water of a six pack of Bud just sitting on the bottom. I've heard stories of deep ROVs finding all kinds of stuff on the bottom in really deep water. |

I had snowmobiles, even raced some, went skiing, sledding, etc. but never ever liked the dreary dark winter. Growing up in New Haven, I used to enjoy winter and its cold. Went ice skating at an outdoor lake several times week, sledding when the snow cooperated, and walking through 2' of snow to get to my grammar school or junior high. Snow days in those days were rare; we went to school no matter what. I remember when I was about seven years old, we had one hell of a snowstorm, and my mom called Mayor Celentano and asked him to shut off to traffic or plowing a big hill next to where we lived, so the kids would have a safe place to sled. Darned if he didn't do just that! Nowadays, I don't much like it real cold. |

Canada's concern would be for the US to dig a series of canals/tunnels whatever to divert massive amounts of water to dry southern & south western states.... altering the Great Lakes in the process. Anyone diverting the natural catchment area would affect those lakes..... we're with JimH on this one. |
