Did that Dinosaurs show have a character named Earl? That's about all I remember, and that Jim Henson may have had something to do with it.
Stupid things are often the beginning of many profound conversations. Anything to get the ball rolling, and this has been a very good year for many people saying many stupid things. I need not elaborate.

Fishing is something I haven't done in many decades, always for good eating and not catch and release. But once you catch them you gotta clean them and removing the scales was the worst, as I recall. There never seemed an easy way to do it except scrape them off with a blade and try to keep the scales out of your eyes and mouth as they flew about. Very much worth it in the end as you savored the fish fresh out of the frying pan.
I was reading that, on the east coast, the lobster fields are moving north due to the water getting warmer. Do you think the less productive fishing in your area is due to something similar? Or it could be a natural cycle caused by an increase of their predators. Any speculation at the feed store?

How many trees do you need for your firewood supply? If you don't let that one area revert to trees do you think you may run out of your fuel supply?
My 80+ year old great-grandfather found much amusement in my attempts to split birch logs for firewood. The small wiry guy kicked the ass of the strapping young lad when it came to splitting the wood. Mercifully he demonstrated the proper method and technique, long since forgotten; there's no denying the visceral pleasure of using a double-bladed axe.
