Why Long Mike is a Pain in the Butt About Grammar
I left out one other little fact. The girl who has the highest grade (92), is a Russian immigrant and English is considered her second language. :

Why Long Mike is a Pain in the Butt About Grammar
In my college writing course the average grade is a 68. There are no quiz's or tests, just all essays. My teacher rants constantly about how very few people in the class have any idea on how to write. There are essays handed in like posts on this forum. ALL SHORTHANDED! Some even have no punctuation what so ever, no periods to end sentences, no use of comma's, no indentations for the start of a new paragraph, or even capital letters. So now in my class, instead of learning how to write "effectively", we just go over basic grammar and spelling. > A few months ago Long Mike posted a rant about grammar and I didn't completely understand, but now I do. All of this Instant Messaging and texting "lingo" is being carried over into regular writing. It is quite disturbing. I should also add that I'm in an ADVANCED writing course.

THE PENNANTS ARE "ALMOST" IN VIEW AND THE TRASH IS FLYING- 2008
As long as the Yankees didn't get Santana who cares. He wasn't worth a combination of Jacoby, Lester, or Bucholtz. I'm really looking forward to seeing Bucholtz and Lester in the rotation this year, the few times they pitched last year they were amazing

One or two techniques every bass fisherman should know for winter fishing and prespawn?
A light ( 1/8 oz or lighter) c-rigged lizard dragged on shallow stump fields or parallel to the sides of docks on spawning flats.

Trying new things with pouring
Just a something I started doing with my finesse worms. Pour the head half way, drop a 1 inch piece of a nail in, pour over it and finish the rest of the worm. You will have the deadliest wacky-rig bait in history. You might get bored catching fish. 8-)

Band of Brothers Mini Marathon
Anyone else watching this? I originally saw all the episodes in my 11th grade U.S. History class. No matter what else is on I always find myself watching them. Guess I'm just a history geek. :-[

Boat isn't running as fast as usual....
Also was the tank full when you stored it? If not you could have water in the gas from condensation. My prof at the tech school I attended said this is a huge issue these days and the most common problem after winter storage.
