River Day 10/22/2012

Turns out that Jay has been right all along, it is all about the "p": politics and pigs, that is.  At least it was at the river this week.  Ted, Kevin, Jay, Tim and I (Mark) were all at the camp again this week to enjoy a warm fall evening on the New.  We probably could have safely worn shorts and t-shirts this week - temps were in the mid 70's and the sky was clear blue.

Most of the activity for the evening was spent around the fire talking about this weeks "p" topics; politics (or more specifically the upcoming election and associated debates), and pig roasts.  I'm pretty sure we didn't solve anything, but we seem to be all agreed on one of those issues, and had a little divisiveness on the other.  The discussion on both was animated (passionate?) at times, but never got out of hand.  It's nice that we can kick things around a bit, even when we don't all see things exactly the same way.  As the saying goes, that's why God invented chocolate and vanilla ice cream.

The river had that dark color that is typical for this time of year, and was inviting enough for me to try a few casts.  I didn't catch anything, but had to try; there may not be many more chances before the weather starts to turn more toward winter.

We were also able to get in a few games of washer toss again this week.  Ted and I were finally able to get in a win against Jay and Tim (it's been a long time coming).  We get into the games and the competition is always a blast.

Last but not least, let's not forget about the "f" for the week - fire that is.  As always, it was the best on the river!
