Captain D’s = Fish
Okay, when you think of Captain D’s, you have to think of fish, right? Well, you probably don’t think of the same fish as this Captain D.

Bad news for the basses
George and I got hooked up to go fishing this week for the first time in what seems like months. I don’t know how we got so busy, but I guess we did.

Yikes!
Want a very vivid illustration of why you don’t stand underneath a tree during a lightning storm? This video is from the US Parks Service of a tree beside a park in New York. It shows a pretty big tree being turned into matchsticks by a single bolt from the blue… ***** ANY QUESTIONS … Continue reading
