AuGres River Mini-Report

Greybeard — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 16:14:04 +0000

The water in the river is well up from last year, meaning the water in the Bay is also up. (Great news!) This week the river water is very clear, and moving somewhat slow. There are a lot of weeds on the banks. We seem to be in a rather dead time for river fishing. Tiny Perch, Gobeys, and occasional small SunFish, and once in a great while a medium size Bass or Catfish. I hear the Walley are still active out in the Bay, but pretty hard to locate. The winds have been strong and the waves high for the past few days. I hope to make it out again soon, weather permitting.

Note: I also wish that the idiots who continually blast the river, would learn to read, and notice the ,

“NO WAKE” signs posted all over the river!!!!

We have been assured by the local Conservation Officier, that the river is an official “NO WAKE” zone, and appropriate tickets will be written, for violators. (He just needs to be around, when the violation is committed)

Call the Michigan DNR “RAP” line at: 800-292-7800 to report violators. (Their boat’s registration number will be very handy when calling in a report)

Flashbacks

Today I looked back over some of my archives. Some of them are junk, some are pretty good reading. It’s funny how your blog can keep a bit of personal history for you. I also updated the header to be similar to my original header. (Blue and Green, my old Kawasaki KDX colors).

Looking back, brought thoughts of IGOGG . Things have changed, but one thing remains the same. Thank You, Mr. Grey, for hosting all these years. Where’s Blu Hatter? It was occasionally fun to disagree.

Finally, not a “Flashback”, but very interesting.

1947 Some of you will recall stories that on

July 8, 1947, a little over 60 years ago, witnesses claim that an

unidentified flying object (UFO) with five aliens aboard, crashed onto a

sheep and cattle ranch just outside Roswell, New Mexico. This is a well

known incident that many say has long been covered up by the U.S. Air Force

and other federal agencies and organizations.

However, what you may NOT know is that in the month of April 1948, nine

months after that historic day, the following people were born:

Albert A. Gore, Jr.

Hillary Rodham

John F. Kerry

William J. Clinton

Howard Dean

Nancy Pelosi

Dianne Feinstein

Charles E. Schumer

Barbara Boxer

Aliens, Sheep, Cattle,,, Polititions?

and to expound on that idea a bit, this email that came in this morning:

This is an insult and a kick in the butt to all of us…

“”Get mad and pass it on - I don’t know how, but maybe some good

Will come of this travesty.

If an immigrant is over 65 they can apply for SSI and Medicaid and get

More than a woman on Social Security, who worked from 1944

till 2004, only getting $791 per month because she was born in 1924.

It is interesting that the federal government provides a single refugee

With a monthly allowance of $1,890.00 and each can also obtain an

Additional $580.00 in social assistance for a total of $2, 470.00/month.

This compares very well to a single pensioner who after contributing to

The growth and development of America for 40 to 50 years can only

Receive a monthly maximum of $1, 012.00 in old age pension and

Guaranteed Income Supplement.

Maybe our pensioners should apply as refugees!

Please forward to every American to expose what our elected politicians

(Nancy P.. Included) have been doing over the past 11 years - to the

Over-taxed American.

SEND THIS TO EVERY AMERICAN TAXPAYER YOU KNOW “”

Obama goes to IRAQ and all the major news anchors tag along.

John McCain goes to IRAQ (3 times) and the major news networks barely notice.

Obama get’s an editorial in the NewYork Times, about his plans for IRAQ.

John McCain offers his plan to the NewYork Times, but, is turned away.

ETC, ETC, ETC.
