If you're a real psychologist, then you know that fishing fits two
definitions of insanity.

1) Doing the same thing over and over, and expecting a different result.
(Thanks to my 14 YO son for pointing out the similarity on this one.)

2) Investing $75,000 in order to catch $15 worth of fish (maybe).

2) is not necessary. But number 1) is not unlike pedaling a bicycle many,

I'm not a "real" psychologist. I'm a psycho - list. I believe there's a
substantial difference, but I couldn't say for sure.

I have to agree with Roger. Cycling is pretty much doing the same thing
over and over and expecting a different result (to become faster). The big
differences I see are that I'm not matching wits with a fish and what I haul
behind me doesn't take up near as much of the road (though it's a little
more each year).

So Austin, how did you fare in the big flood? I have people in Owatonna and
I hear Austin got it pretty bad. We really dodged a bullet with Ivan down
here.
