I literally stumbled upon this website ProjectHealingWaters.org and was
writing them a check within minutes. I would urge any person who feels
a sense of gratitude to our troops who serve and are wounded overseas
to make a donation to this cause. Being an avid fly fisher as well as a
currently serving veteran, I feel a special obligation to help any cause
that helps rehabilitate troops through fly fishing and tying. Check it
out and give what you can.

Anonimity not by intention. I only hope that maybe a few folks will take
a look at the website and throw a few dollars their way. It seems to be
an upstart charity which is well sponsored if you looke at their site
and is run by a retired Navy Captain. I can only imagine what these
troops have to endure and know that if I ever become disabled due to a
combat action that there are a few feoolow fly fishing sportsman around
who would be there to assist in mental and emotional recovery through
thre joy of "the fly."

Who are 'our' troops, Raven? The Moroccans who fish in the Atlas
Mountains? The Afghan guerrillas fishing in the Hindu Kush?

This is an international NG.

That said, it does look like a laudable and well-inentioned
organization, and I have a lot of sympathy for troops from any country
who have been disabled while fighting on behalf of their own state's
ruthless politicians, media barons and dumb population.

For my own part, one reason why I go fly-fishing is that I find it
intensely nerve-racking, and I use it to liven myself up after the
tedium and boredom of war-zones.

I do live there. But my kids grew up in Belfast - the windows of their
bedroom blew in when the IRA bombed a nearby police station (they of
course slept through it), and I tend to work in countries that are even
more violent than England. There's an overground rail station at the
end of my street that takes me directly into the centre of town, to
Gatwick airport, or to Luton airport.

My bees can forage to their hearts' content (if bees do have hearts) on
the ivy and weeds that grow in the abandoned gardens round here.

And I can keep my Dari up to scratch here - I speak only Dari when I go
marketing at the local convenience store and greengrocer's.

I've been here so long and the area is so bad (the London Evening
Standard described our street as 'the worst street in Britain') that
I've felt that it had to start going up sometime. In fact it's started
happening. Ten years ago the upstairs apartments were occupied by some
asylum seekers and a drug smuggler. Now they've been bought by an actor
from the National Theatre and a City banker.

Even so (http://www.crimeinfo.org.uk/):

I just happen to live in the worst street in Britain. Although nearly

Guns are readily available in the US. I have three. I'd bet that the
average number of guns per American ROFF poster is greater than one.

It must be tough to live in a neighborhood where you're at a
disadvantage when you go unarmed. I'd move if I were you, but if for
some reason I couldn't move, I'd pack.

All the guy was attempting to do was point out an organization that
helped wounded (US) vets via flyfishing. With the exception of the
subject header being arguably and mildly US-centric, I saw nothing in
his post that was in the least bit political, controversial, or even OT.
Even if his post had been tinged with a rah-rah "GO ARMY!" attitude, the

Wolfy, proud to have 7 very conservative children... Proud to see what they
have been able to accomplish in life. Honor roll students so far. Oldest one
is getting a full ride to college on scholarships. Not afraid to pick up and
shoot a handgun or rifle. Knows what it is to be able to show proper gun
control = hitting target :-)

They unlike a liberal, know what it means to take responsibility for their
own actions and not blame in on society or anyone else. They know that if
they did it, they and they alone are responsible for the outcome. great
bunch of republicans they will be.

Not worried about that. The oldest one will no doubt go futher in college
than I did. Just proud to see they can think for themselves and the fact
that then know how to hunt and fish and can take care of themselves lets me
know I did my job as well as my wife.

Although I think the 2nd to youngest will end up being a better shot than I
:-)

But all joking aside, I know they will go far in life and they know that
they have to earn what they get out of life. None of them expect handouts
and they all work hard for everything they want.
