I haven't thought about that litter in a loooooong time! I do have a couple of housecats available at this time (don't tell my wife that I said that).

I've only used the Biffle Bug, but I really like them. They're great Texas rigged or on a swing head. I'm sure the others work well too, but I've never tried them.

I'll chime in on this one since, as I mentioned before, I'm not actually 100% retired. I'm 44 years old, and I'm drawing a pension from the Army. I also receive VA Disability Compensation (90%). I'm currently working as a State employee. I most likely won't work long enough to receive full retirement benefits from the State, but I will receive a partial retirement. My wife, on the other hand, has been a State employee for many years, and she will receive full retirement. Also, between Tricare for Retirees, the VA Hospital, and the Indian Hospital nearby (I'm a tribal member of the Cherokee Nation), health insurance is not a major concern for me. Army Pension + VA Disability + Partial State Pension + Wife's Full State Pension = Easy retirement.

I retired from the Army last February. I guess I'm not actually retired because I have a new, full-time job, and I own a small business on the side. But I can tell you that after spending nearly my entire adult life traveling, training, and deploying, civilian life can seem pretty dull. Do I miss it? Not exactly. I do miss the soldiers, and I miss the adventure, but I absolutely do not miss certain aspects of Army life at all. My moment of clarity came when my son, who was 11 years old at the time, mentioned how I'm never home for his birthday. I thought long and hard about it, but I honestly couldn't remember any of his birthdays after he turned two. I had either been in the field or deployed for every single birthday since.

Nice fish! I can't seem to break the four pound mark with smallmouth.

I think the main obstacle MLF may face is that they have a much smaller pool of potential officials than B.A.S.S. and FLW. While B.A.S.S. and FLW marshals can come from anywhere in the country and may only attend one event, MLF officials must live in the Tulsa area, and they are expected to attend a minimum of six events.

The program is for resident military veterans, Gold Star lapel recipients, and Next of Kin Deceased Personnel recipients. I don't know if it's new or not, but I had never heard of it. They've had reduced cost licenses for disabled vets for a long time. I got my lifetime hunting/fishing combo license for $25.00.
