It's good to be home. I hear from Cristie that Isaac wasn't all that ready for the shark!

Over dinner one night on my Arkansas fishing trip, one of the Merck guys from Mississippi said in response to some dumb thing my friend from Illinois did, "And to think the South lost the war!" You know, these southern boys still have a chip on their shoulders about the civil war! They honestly think the world would be a better place had the south prevailed. I've read it before, but witnessed it first hand for the first time.
