af Trolle labored 13 years on a book about Swedish economic solutions.

between 8 and 9 in your time zone.

enter on and float the chat window. You can
go do something else and your computer will beep when someone enters the
room.. Email me if you

======================================
Tip of the Week - Watch your temperature gauge, and start throwing
a floating worm when the water hits 60 degrees. That is the temperature
when bass start looking for bedding areas, and floating worms are a good
way to catch them.

will be notified by email and posted here. There will be one winner per

This contest is, of course, an unabashed attempt to get people to use my boards! The only requirement is that posts must be related to fishing. The board is for fishing info so ask a real question, respond with an answer you know, or post information about a trip you took. They can be original posts or responses to posts. I will use the 'Show Post from 1 week' button to select the posts for the contest. All the details and a list of past winners can be found at http://fishing.about.com/library/weekly/blboardcontest.htm

Thought for the Week -Why is it, when a door is open it's ajar,
but when a jar is open, it's not adoor?
=====================================
Bonus Joke -Bad Day #2 - Police in Radnor, Pennsylvania, interrogated
a suspect by placing a metal colander on his head and connecting it with
wires to a photocopy machine. The message "He's lying" was placed
in the copier, and police pressed the copy button each time they thought
the suspect wasn't telling the truth. Believing the "lie detector"
was working, the suspect confessed.
