It’s My Cast – Killer Whale Kills Trainer – It’s all about the Money!

March 4th, 2010

 I’m sure everyone has read or heard about the tragic events at Orlando’s Sea World last week when a 12,000 pound Killer Whale (Orca) turned on and killed its trainer.  The death of a trainer by a wild animal is a tragedy; as is any unnecessary death.  But is there more to it?  I hadn’t [...]

Shifting over to bass

October 9th, 2009

The focus is shifting to the bass and fall blitzes.  The only albie reports I know of are from Westerly to points west.  Albie’s aside, the fall run has been a bit slow.  The weather certainly hasn’t cooperated lately, but looks better this weekend so good luck.
