Fly Fishing Fonzie
Interesting quick read.
Though he expresses his love of fly fishing, the book is more a motivational, general family life type book. Fun to hear him talk of some of the same rivers I fished when I was more active. Seems he fishes mostly MT and ID, but he did also mention TN.

I on the other hand have met quite a few idiots on the river...  <-;:
ex - I'm not going to live with you through one more fishing season!
me -There's a season?

Pretty good. Pretty long. Very popular.

I'm amazed at the amount of work this guy has put out. And he's still pumping them out even at his age. Impressive.

Currently listening to the audio book, narrated by the author.

 The End Is Always Near: Apocalyptic Moments, from the Bronze Age Collapse to Nuclear Near Misse

If you think things are bad now, let Dan Carlin take you back in time to when while civilizations were wiped off the face of the earth. Published in 2019 before the current pandemic it is timely and relevant to our expieriences.

The entire time I was reading it I couldn't get the old P.F. Sloan lyrics out of my head. i.e "Hate your next door neighbor, but don't forget to say grace."

A little difficult to read and keep up with all the details, but my oh my.  Miranda has gone to great lengths to follow the money. For a crack head Hunter has done pretty good for himself.

Appears to be an intriguing book.  Cost is reasonable.

The alleged transgressions of HB are captivating.  But I am a skeptic when it comes to the words of Miranda Devine (climate change, 6 January debacle, transport of illegals under darkness, etc.).  I'll lump her with Tucker.

Who can we believe these days?  Just last week, while brushing my teeth, gazing into the mirror, I lied to myself and uttered "my gut is getting flatter, and my unit seems to be growing".  Freaking untruths and misinformation is contagious, worse than covid!

You are right, I have no idea who to believe anymore. I knew some would dismiss Miaranda on sight. So much hinges on how we feel about something or the person who writes it anymore. Hunter is the fall guy if anything goes down, and he's well protected. I also think his criminal activity is on going.

I may have reread The Longest Silence more than any other book. It goes with me on most every trip.
