  2. The last five weekends I launched my boat out of Pine Grove and just about every time I put the boat on the trailer or off it was dark. I thought I was doing something wrong. I had a very hard time backing down the ramp due to the fact the guy on the other side of the ramp left his headlights on.

    Why I don’t know, its not like the headlights help him see the boat.

    The last day I pulled my boat out and drove over to tie it down, the other guy who was using the ramp came over to me and thanked me for turning off my headlights.

    I don’t think you should have to thank someone for just thinking of others!

    Sorry for the vent!!!

  3. I'm against the $85,000,000,000.00 bailout of AIG.

    Instead, I'm in favor of giving $85,000,000,000 to America in a We Deserve It Dividend.

    To make the math simple, let's assume there are 200,000,000 bonafide U.S. Citizens 18+.

    Our population is about 301,000,000 +/- counting every man, woman and child. So 200,000,000

    might be a fair stab at adults 18 and up..

    So divide 200 million adults 18+ into $85 billon that equals $425,000.00.

    My plan is to give $425,000 to every person 18+ as a We Deserve It Dividend.

    Of course, it would NOT be tax free so let's assume a tax rate of 30%.

    Every individual 18+ has to pay $127,500.00 in taxes.

    That sends $25,500,000,000 right back to Uncle Sam.

    But it means that every adult 18+ has $297,500.00 in their pocket.

    A husband and wife has $595,000.00.

    What would you do with $297,500.00 to $595,000.00 in your family?

    Pay off your mortgage - housing crisis solved.

    Repay college loans - what a great boost to new grads.

    Put away money for college - it'll be there

    Save in a bank - create money to loan to entrepreneurs.

    Buy a new car - create jobs Invest in the market - capital drives growth

    Pay for your parent's medical insurance - health care improves

    Enable Deadbeat Dads to come clean - or else

    Remember this is for every adult U S Citizen 18+ including the folks who lost their jobs

    at Lehmann Brothers and every other company that is cutting back.

    And of course, for those serving in our Armed Forces.

    If we're going to re-distribute wealth let's really do it...instead of trickling out a puny

    $1000.00 ( "vote buy" ) economic incentive that is being proposed by one of our candidates for President.

    If we're going to do an $85 billion bailout, let's bail out every adult U S Citizen 18+!

    As for AIG - liquidate it.

    Sell off its parts.

    Let American General go back to being American General.

    Sell off the real estate.

    Let the private sector bargain hunters cut it up and clean it up.

    Here's my rationale. We deserve it and AIG doesn't.

    Sure it's a crazy idea that can "never work."

    But can you imagine the Coast-To-Coast Block Party!

    How do you spell Economic Boom?

    I trust my fellow adult Americans to know how to use the $85 Billion

    We Deserve It Dividend more than I do the geniuses at AIG or in Washington DC.

    And remember, The "plan" only really costs $59.5 Billion because $25.5 Billion is

    returned instantly in taxes to Uncle Sam.

    Ahhh...I feel so much better getting that off my chest.

    Kindest personal regards,

    PS: Feel free to pass this along to your pals as it's either good for a laugh

    or a tear or a very sobering thought on how to best use $85 Billion.

    Now they are talking about a 1 to 2 trillion dollar rescue plan!!! Just think

    what we could do with that!!

    We could all retire if they would divide up the 700 billion. I think that would give us about 2.8 million each. Of course no one would want to work.

  4. yes approx 22ft per 100 out,no whip,elect field is a theory weve all shared about braided wire on dypsys,it give you something to reel in everytime another rod goes off thats fun (not) ive got one in theboat and never use it unless ive got a willing victom on board to reel it in.

    It's also fun to reel in when the fish are not hitting. The wire can be fun also if you don't release the dypsy.
