A fishing Story ... Democratic founding ... Thx Paul C!

---

Finally the truth comes out...

The king wanted to go fishing. He called on the royal weather  forecaster 

and inquired as to the weather forecast for the next few  hours.

 

The weatherman assured him that there was no chance of rain in the  coming days,  So the king went fishing with his wife, the queen. On  the way he met a farmer on his donkey. 

 

Upon seeing the king the farmer said, "Your Majesty, you should  return to the palace! In just a short time I expect a huge amount of  rain to fall in 

this area".

 

The king was polite and considerate, he replied: "I hold the palace

meteorologist in high regard. He is an extensively educated and

experienced professional. And besides, I pay him very high wages. He  gave me a very different forecast I trust him."

 

So the king continued on his way. However, a short time later a  torrential

rain fell from the sky. The King and Queen were totally  soaked and their

entourage chuckled upon seeing them in such a  shameful condition.

 

Furious, the king returned to the palace and gave the order to fire  the

professional. Then he summoned the farmer and offered him the  prestigious and high paying role of royal forecaster.

 

The farmer said, "Your Majesty, I do not know anything about  forecasting. I obtain my information from my donkey. If I see my  donkey's ears drooping, it means with  certainty that it will rain." 

 

So the king hired the donkey.

 

And thus began the practice of hiring dumb asses to work in the  government and occupy its highest and most influential positions.  The practice is unbroken to this date and the democrat symbol was  born.

 

Went fishing, caught four deer ... Thx Pidge F!

  

  

                                         Went Fishing, Caught 4 Deer

A once in the history of mankind kind of thing.

The Best Day Of Fishing Ever! Some fishing   stories

  are a little hard to believe but this guy has pictures

to prove his story... I've heard    of salmon jumping into boats,

but never anything quite like this.

Tom Satre told the Sitka Gazette that he was out with

a charter group on his 62-foot fishing    vessel when four

juvenile black-tailed deer swam directly toward his boat.

"Once the deer reached the boat, the four began to circle the boat,

looking directly at us.    We could tell right away that the young bucks

were distressed. I opened up my back gate    and we helped the typically

skittish and absolutely wild animals onto the boat. In all my

years fishing, I've never seen anything quite like it! Once on board,

they collapsed with    exhaustion, shivering."

"This is a picture I took of the rescued bucks on the back of my boat,

the Alaska Quest. We   headed for Taku Harbour .

  

Once we reached the dock, the first buck that we had pulled

from the water hopped onto the dock, looked back as if to say

'thank you' and disappeared    into the forest.

After a bit of prodding and assistance, two more followed,

but the smallest deer needed a little more help.

This is me carrying the little guy.

My daughter, Anna, and son, Tim, helped the last buck to its feet.

We didn't know how    long they had been in the icy waters or if there

had been others who did not survive.

My daughter later told me that the experience was something that

she would never    forget, and I suspect the deer felt the same way as well!"

I told you! Awesome! Our Lord works in mysterious ways.

This bird can fish ... thx Ramey H!

You may have seen this before but I love it. What a bird!

 

 

INCREDIBLE - BOTH THE BIRD AND THE PHOTOGRAPHY

Hard to believe this Osprey got 5-6 fish at a time and then got a flounder under 3 feet of

water and made off with what looks to be a 5+ lb steel-head.  Have you ever seen a bird

shake water off like a dog does?  Wouldn't want to get in its way when its eyes are

locked onto you and his talons are in the "load" position.  It's talons are amazing.  Notice how as soon as possible the Osprey turns his prey head-first into the wind to cut down on wind resistance.

Here are 3 sequences in this one video:

1st sequence - catches half a dozen fish in one strike.

2nd sequence - plunges talons into deep water to grab the prey.

3rd sequence - captures a big old fish that looks as if it weighs more than he does.

This is fun to watch.
