Today is the opening day of fishing season. Wish us good luck! There is a different feel to the area. The town, roads, and stores are full of the weekenders and the summer season people who have returned for the opener. Here is an example. Case and I are in the garage prepping the boat to put into the water. We hear gunshots very close behind the garage. Perhaps a neighbor is shooting at a pesky squirrel. He must be a bad shot because it continues sporadically for quite some time. So I don my bright orange safety vest and go over to find out what is going on. I come face to face with a man with glassy eyes, a beer in one hand and a gun in the other, asking me what I want. (I want not to be shot - accidentally or intentionally.) After a short discussion I found out that he was target shooting into a hill behind our garage. The moonshine/maple syrup neighbor steps in to smooth things over and all is well.
The sun is shining. Time to go fishing.
