Goin' Fishin'

The fishing report is outstanding, barring any further big rains anyway, so I’m headed North, to wander deep into the Mason Tract, fly rod in hand, to night fish the South Branch of the Au Sable river.  Throwing nothing but dry flies.

I’ll also be doing the same to my little crick outside of Luzerne, Michigan, which will remain nameless, as this blue ribbon water provides me with the solitude its more famous compatriots cannot.  Though night fishing does keep the less stoic away.

See ya Sunday, or possibly Monday, Tuesday at the latest.

PC Mission Nose Scrub

Remember when the display of pin-up girls on airplane noses was consider innocuous, and was a matter of some pride for the pilots and crew who flew the planes in harm’s way?  Well, RAF pilots will no longer be able to display such nose art.

In killer heels and little else, they have a definite deadly charm.

But the risque images of women that have decorated warplanes since the First World War have been scrubbed out.

The Ministry of Defence has decreed they could offend the RAF’s female personnel.

There must’ve been a complaint, or two, uttered one would think, but that is not the case.

Officials admitted they had no record of any complaints from the 5,400 women in the RAF.

It’s a pity that PCism has come this far.

PC brigade ban pin-ups on RAF jets - in case they offend women and Muslims
