It comes as no surprise that you can't carry on a civil conversation

It comes as no surprise that you feel ill-informed, self-satisfied, canned
tripe is deserving of a civil response.

Carry on,

Bank on it.

It must hurt to be you... Enjoy the holidays in your one bedroom apartment.
Who are you going to spend it with, yourself?

Again, speaking for myself, it has nothing whatsoever to do with the
identity or purpose of the caller, it's the fact that you had your cell
on and were answering it while FFing. *I don't think it "wrong" per se,

I agree. On the occasion in question, I was fishing at the bass pond
within walking distance of my front porch. So, some would say, not
*really* fly fishing. For the record, whilst in a trout stream I do
not carry a phone, I never wear a vest, and I almost always wade wet.
In my earlier post I was mostly trying to compare/contrast the evils
of taking a phone call while fishing to taking a phone call while
driving. Depending upon the intensity of the occasion, I've been known
to do both.

Carry on big boy,

I thought we'd already covered that.

Occasionally, as is true of anyone, I suppose. Hardly enough to dwell on,
though.

Enjoy the holidays in your one bedroom apartment.

Two, actually, and thank you.

Who are you going to spend it with, yourself?

Yep. Going to try to catch up on my reading. An exotic pursuit you should
try sometime, by the way.

Okay ol' great one... Enjoy the holidays, although it sounds like you will
be in pretty poor company.

You can have the last word, so EOT for me,

Bub-bye,

Not simultaneously, one hopes.

Taking a phone call while sitting in a kayak in three foot swells a mile or
so off shore in Lake Michigan is a pretty surreal experience.

And I was pretty sure that I have a photo of you......wearing a vest.....in
Hazel Creek. But I can't find it right now.

who, admittedly, may have imagined the whole thing.

Okay

O.k.

ol' great one...

Huh?

Enjoy the holidays,

Um......hm......I thought we'd already done this part, too.

although it sounds like you will be in pretty poor company.

Maybe so. But then, I haven't heard any complaints......yet.

You can have the last word,

Very kind of you. Gosh, just try to imagine what a lovely place this would
be if everybody followed your sterling example!

so EOT for me,

O.k. So......uh.....I guess we'll just reconnect in another one sometime,
huh?

Bub-bye,

TTFN.

Wolfgang
see? people CAN disagree and still get along famously!

Fish notice a lot, but don't care much....

f you are in favor of laws that mandate the public safety, then you
have to be for seatbelt laws. I not only use a seatbelt to save my
life, but also to prevent an accident. In an emergency move, it is
*very* important that the driver stay *behind* the wheel, not sliding
left or right. It used to be demonstrated with students at the school
I used to teach. In most situations, they lost control of the car
without a seatbelt.

.......not forgetting the unrestrained rear seat passenger who could
easily become a missile who could collide with the driver in the event
of an accident.

I have mixed feelings about outlawing things like that. One one hand I
believe we need to maintain a certain amount of freedom of choice. On the
other...I *@#$%&! HATE cell phones. Three years ago I bought a new (to me)
used truck that was owned by an elderly retired couple. Pristine inside and
out, low low miles, etc. Owned it two months when I was stopped at a red
light at the bottom of a hill. Didn't see the car in my rearview that hit me
at about 50mph. I was pushed nearly 40 yards through the intersection and
back uphill with my foot on the brake. The driver got out with cell phone in
one hand and smoke in the other. When giving the police report she swore
that she was slowing down for the stop. No matter, she had no insurance, an
already suspended license, and an expired registration...and since I keep my
hitch in the reciever, a totaled car. I had almost forgot about the incident
when my wife's uncle was killed under almost the same circumstances four
months later. I have not honestly been able to think of a realistic or
reasonable solution to the problem. After all, I don't think it is possible
or ethical to legislate common sense or common courtesy. Cell phones
themselves don't bother me, the (already) inconsiderate *******s that use
them as a way of saying "Look at me, i'm important/cool/big ****" iritate me
to no ends. They are the same people who insist that thier calls are
ultimately more important than the consideration of the people around them,
even when talking in the most inappropriate places.
