Same to you and your family Mark!

Here's to more lip ripping in 2018! Figuratively speaking, of course.

Happy Holidays. Be safe out there - seems to be an abundance of "it's all about me" drivers out this years.

Never saw a ban on saying "Merry Christmas." I've never stopped, don't know anyone who did. I have been guilty of every once in a while saying "Happy Holidays." I have seen people alluding to the fact that you're not allowed to say "Merry Christmas," but a bit of research shows the very folks accused of such a ban have frequently used the phrase, while some who criticized have indeed themselves been quoted as saying "Happy Holidays." Easily researched. Bottom line is, whatever makes you happy, I'm good with it. So Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and Happy New Years. Hoping 2018 brings folks together instead of dividing.

Your first post say "happy holidays"......Since you do so much "research", I welcome you to google "war on christmas", however I have a feeling you already know. Anyway, nothing that people already know and is fully aware that is being happening for over a decade. Censorship and political correctness apart, Merry Christmas and a happy and wonderfull new year to all.

Sounds like some of you guys were dumb/racist enough to vote for the p**sy grabber. Bad form, really, to talk about politics in a usually nice forum like this, but since you went there...really makes a lot of sense for a catch and release fly fisherman (assuming that’s what the vast majority of us on this forum are) to vote for a real estate magnate from queens whose nominee to head the EPA has sued the very same agency over 30 times the past decade, and is a shill for oil companies. And then there’s what’s been going on with federal land lately. Really no cure for stupidity. Reminds me of the guys I work with in construction who voted for trump; somehow they think the billionaire who’s never worked an honest day in his life cares about working people? ��
Just don’t complain when there’s no wild trout in 20,30,40 years, the guy doesn’t even believe in global warming for Chris sakes, but I’d imagine you don’t either. Happy kwanza.
