Late night thread 2

[dev553344]

Yesterday evening, I took a break from work just before sunset and took a stroll around the lake we have on the campus. Ran into a family who was fishing, That made me think, when was the last time I went fishing? I've got a pole, and I know there are fish in the river that runs behind the house 'cuz one of the neighbor kids once caught a couple of bass back there, but I haven't tried in years. The last time I went fishing and actually caught something (fishing and catching are different sports), my goodness, that was with Grandpa Lambano back when I was 12. Half a century ago. Grandpa Lambano loved to fish. Grandma Lambano needlepointed a little plaque for him that read, "Lord, grant me the grace to catch a fish SO BIG, that when telling of it afterwards, I need never lie!"

Sigh. Happy memories.

A few years back I went fishing with my nephews down by my grandma's old house. There is a peer that stretches out to the opening of the river, where the river empties into the bay area. Anyways the Salmon were running. We caught a few 5-10 pounders. Took them home and cooked them up. It was the best of times and good fun.

To "peer" means to "look with difficulty or concentration at someone or something." Not sure that you can catch fish off of a "peer?"

On the other hand, a "pier" that extends out over water is a structure from which fish can be caught.

Reliance upon Microsoft's or any other computer OS spell checker can lead to "humorous," which is the American spelling, ways of expressing our unintended prose.

@devin553344 Seems like your mind is well attuned to solving such problematic exercises....

I've developed some unique math skills for problem solving over the years. It's fun to solve puzzles like that I think.

@devin553344 Well....I think you have to have a special mental flair for such things, that some of us haven't got......

I used to watch Steve Irwin a lot. Maybe I'll catch an old re-run of his.
