yeah, I know, but

honestly I just can't take anybody in a truck with 3 feet of ground
clearance, that will NEVER be more than 10 feet off pavement seriously, as
outdoorsmen ... regardless of how much they spend on fly rods, or how well
they pose when they think they are being watched

and I can't take anybody in a Hummer seriously, period, I always just want
to giggle at them ... (unless it's a real military HumVee on real military
business )

If somebody gave me such a truck or a Hummer, I'd be embarassed driving it
to a dealer to trade it in on something useful, and worth the money.


I actually DO like the fact that people come here to fly fish, the local
river is "special regs" 0 limit, barbless, etc etc The regs, not the
quality of the fishing is the attraction ( special regs = crowds of FFers,
whether or not the fishery is decent ) ... but it's nice to have places
people can go and get away from the Bay Area ... and usually I only go to
the river to walk, ( or I float it away from normal accesses ) so they
don't really bother me


And don't worry, you're still roff's biggest snob .. but I'm gaining G
