Comments on: Plunking at Meldrum Bar http://www.getchabug.com/Jon/blog/archives/2007/02/23/plunking-a-meldrum-bar/ I am a software engineer by day. Other times, I do other stuff. This blog is my collection of both sets of experiences.

I first fished there 15 years ago and things have not changed a bit. (the ducks and geese still fight) It's tough in a big city to find a good place to unwind after a week in the Corporate Ratrace. That's why I fish there. Did I catch a fish there last year? No I didn't, but I got out of the house and had time to think about life a little. I hate to say it, but I think most people that catch fish there are very lucky and it's a bonus for them while they are out having fun. I enjoyed talking to several of these folks, but would not take my wife as she would not like some of the language used. That's just the way it is somethins. Oh, by the way, I drive a Ford, so I guess I'm OK. Let's all have fun in 2008 getting our lines wet and maybe, just maybe we will catch a fish or two.

The idea was to reflect on the unique circumstance Meldrum Bar provides, and make some observations on the people and animals that frequent there. I have read numerous magazine articles that mention that people fishing in close quarters tend to have little tolerance for what is perceived as misbehavior, and was happy to note that it wasn't the case at Meldrum Bar. I'm sorry if you saw the posting as offensive to you. It wasn't intended to be. As for your comment about imports and not supporting the country: my vehicle, while not an American brand, was assembled in the United States. So yes, I am supporting my country by employing American workers in my vehicle choice. I think you misinterpreted my intent in the posting.

Maybe you should drive your Import (thanks for supporting our country) somewhere else and fish.
