    Don't forget the speedo, Chez. He is going to have to add that to the shopping list if he doesn't already have one. I recommend a neon pink or something similar.

    I hear pink is INGO's favorite color.

    I have a creek running through my back yard. It is at the very edge of town, nothing beyond the creek except the rest of my property, and a cornfield. Several homes border the creek along with an apartment complex, and the primary school. My house, however, is the last one on the street and is right up against the bridge that carries 24 over the creek. Guess what? The only decent sized fish in the area live under the bridge where the water is the deepest.

    You guessed it, all the neighborhood kids like to go fishing in my back yard. I have asked them to leave, but the reality is I don't care if they fish there. My concern these days is that one of them get hurt on my property and their parents sue. This is why I ask them to leave. Last year I stopped a couple of boys from the apartment complex in my yard. I explained that if they wanted to come on my property, they had to get my permission first. I even helped one of them untangle his reel. They were cool and left, but then were out there again (without asking) a few days later. I had to be less than friendly then.

    No traffic as of yet this year. We'll see.

    You'd try to EXPLAIN that to your wife?

    In these insane times legal action is a worry.

    It's my only worry. I really don't care if the kids catch all the good fish. I'd like to be cool to the kids and have them hang out fishing rather, than run the streets, but I have to worry about the parents looking to make a buck off their little angle who can do no wrong... Like coming on someone's property without permission, then douing something stupid and getting hurt, or having an innocent accident and getting hurt.
