It's govern - not rule...
 
The co-chair of Barack Obama's Transition Team, Valerie Jarrett,
appeared on Meet the Press this weekend and used, shall we say, an
interesting word to described what she thinks Barack Obama will be
doing in January when he's officially sworn into office.

Jarret told Brokaw that "given the daunting challenges that we face,
it's important that president elect Obama is prepared to really take
power and begin to rule day one."

Oh, I'm thinking over reach and one term Presidency.

We are going to be getting quite a few talkings to in the months post
inaugural telling us that "it" needs to be done for our own good and for
the good of our neighbors.

You are probably right. The media, now that they don't have McCain or Palin
to kick around anymore (other than worry about who owns what in her wardrobe
closet), are beginning to seriously analyze Obama's campaign promises
versus the reality of what he can deliver. When the shoe finally drops on
those who were infatuated with hope, his popularity ratings will sink like a
stone.

Meanwhile, I am spending a few days at my son's beachhouse on Cape Cod Bay.
It's amazing the number of die-hard fishing nuts out on the cold, cold bay
in open CC's at 5 in the morning, looking for the last of the Striper and
Bluefish stragglers. Fishing is an addictive disease for some, I guess.
Not for me.

Fractional term would be even better.

My Niece (Buzz's Marina Ridge Md) says it is still very busy down
there in spite of ball chilling cold. I guess as long as the fishing
is good, they will come.



Once dawn broke and I could see, I watched them for a while using
binnoculars from inside the warm house (the temp outside was 36 degrees).
My observations:

1. None of them were catching anything.
2. All of them looked miserable.

It's only been in the 40's and 50's the last couple of days in the
mid-Bay area, and the catch is real slow. Under the best of
circumstances, spring through fall, fishing in the Bay is fairly slow
compared to what I was used to enjoying in north Florida and I know
south Florida on either coast is much better.

The *best* sal****er fishing in this area is down by Virginia Beach,
either out in the ocean or where the ocean meets the Bay and there is
plenty of structure. There's pretty good winter fishing down by the
Chesapeake Bay Bridge Tunnel, and I plan to head down there with a
couple of buddies next month. We're just going to hop on a head boat,
though.

The real men will, anyway. ;-)

I've travelled the Bay Bridge/Tunnel several times over the past couple of
years and observed the small fishing boats at or near the pilings. Never
could understand the fun they saw in it. There usually was heavy chop
resulting in the boats bouncing around and the occupants getting beat up
pretty badly.

No thanks.

Probably a macho ritual. I can't think of any reason for the couple
times I went ice fishing except to "check it out." It checked out
cold, and I didn't catch anything.
I think about ice fishing whenever I see the crowd at a Bears or
Packers game when the temp is -10F.
brrrrrrr.
