Your waders are over business slacks, a shirt and a tie (since you snuck out during lunch), airplanes are roaring over your head, a police man is casually ensuring you don't make an amphibious assault on the runway, and an osprey nails a nice fish not 30 feet from where you're standing.  Such was my Thursday... great stuff.

Not too much - a couple of decent largemouths and a few small white perch.

Fishing in a tie.  What's your favorite knot? double surgeons or Windsor?

I agree with that one, but add a disposable plastic bag too.    =)

Dan, maybe you should reach out directly.  I've seen Barack cast, and his loops are pretty sloppy...

I wonder if someone said something not so nice about politics and the current administration and we’re being watched?

I've had hits from " the executive office of the president of the United States" and asked a friend about it who works in the west wing. He said it could be any of dozens of satellite and support offices or employees in DC and not potus. He is a Debbie downer.

When you're being watched, you don't get hits from WH Communications.  They use anonymizers, just like I do when I spy on criminals for my day job (security for the world wide web).
