Mike Moore: 1
Neocons: 0
:lol


Seeing that both F9/11 and MIB are both pinnacles of fiction, I'm not suprised.

Mike Moore: retarded
Neocons: don't really care
Communists:  Proven losers

What kinda fishing you wanna do?  Salmon or tuna in the Pacific?  Sturgeon in the bay?  Hit the local lakes or the Delta for trout, bass, catfish?  Go up north and catch King Salmon in the rivers?  Or the foothills or the Sierras for trout fly fishing?  :D

Well the catch is that it costs an arm and a leg to buy or rent here.  And also there is a growing strip-mall-freeway-hell just a few miles over the hill from those pics.  But other than that I like it.

And the pics are early spring.  By mid May the grass dries out and turns to straw.

Don't go sturgeon fishing in the bay... I went sturgeon fishing in Berkeley harbor Christmas before last, went home and my wife was missing and the next thing you know I am on trial for murder.  WTF is with that?

Be careful Nash. I went to Boot Camp in Alameda, and it looked nothing like that!

Granted, once you get out of the city, Northern Cali is as pretty as you could ask for. Lots of rolling hills surround the Bay area and it's a short drive North to find some awesome forests and the Napa valley.
My mind is a raging torrent, flooded with rivulets of thought cascading into a waterfall of creative alternatives.
Stay thirsty my friends.
