I celebrated a birthday last month, and judging by the number of candles my wife stuck in the cake, I must be 34. My kids think that’s ancient, but I would guess there are actually a whole lot more people in America older than me than younger.[…]
Dear Capt. Paul:
How much memory do you need for maps in a hand-held GPS unit?[…]
Television executives aren’t satisfied that they’ve turned us all into couch potatoes; now they’re trying to turn our felines into “fat cats.”[…]
Louisiana bass anglers haven’t had a native son to cheer for during the Bassmasters Classic since 1999, when Baton Rouge’s Rodney Wagley earned a berth in the first New Orleans Classic.[…]
“Lunker bass fever” excitement has faded since the glory years of the 1990s in Louisiana.[…]
It didn’t take five minutes to get the first bite.
The jig was pitched to a cypress tree in the dead-end canal, and the angler’s line moved about 6 inches to the side.[…]
