Canyon Lake Texas
You might check out a more local fishing site. http://www.austinbassfishing.com/forum/ Also, check out the Texas Parks and Wildlife site. http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/fishboat/fish/recreational/lakes/canyon/ To be honest, I haven't been to that lake since the mid-70s so can't offer much about the fishing. Enjoy your visit to our great state. 8-)

Worst Half-Time Show Ever?
The acoustic guitar that Pete played during the opening medley, came from Collings Guitars. My brother and his family are neighbors with the Collings. Last Thursday while at a fundraiser for the Dripping Springs HS jazz band, I got to meet another Collings craftsman that said that Pete had come to town the month before to pick up a guitar.

Washers anyone ?
Slight variation on washers...... We used to use cow chips and a 55gal drum at 50 paces. You had to be good at throwing around the bs.

Living Colour
Yes. Also, check out the band Body Count. Its Ice-T's metal band. They do a great cover of Hey Joe. BC is not for the faint of heart.

I Love Acronyms
IBM used to have an acronym glossary that was 200+ pages. You needed the decoder at some of the meetings. I worked in the ESD and STD divisions. You can guess what our nicknames for those were.
