Last Thursday, Elaine and I spent an enjoyable morning (as usual) fishing for Mackinaw (Lake) Trout at Lake Tahoe with our longtime friend and sport fishing guide, Gene St. Denis of Blue Ribbon Charters at South Lake Tahoe, Calif.
"Gino" has fished Tahoe for some 30 years and is one of the top, if not the top, fishing guides at that lake.
Sigh, and as usual on that day, Man's Favorite Sport belonged to Elaine for the fourth straight year!

A reminder of an old adage
Submitted by Carson Now Reader on Thu, 11/22/2012 - 10:16am
Once again, as an annual reminder for this time of the year, when you get ready to sit down to your big, Thanksgiving dinner with all the trimmings, you might want to remember that old saying: “You are what you eat.”
So:
Think twice before you eat all that turkey, or
Think twice before you eat all that ham, or
Think twice before you eat all that chicken.
Don’t say that you were not forewarned.
But no matter, where you eat or who you eat with or what you eat, be sure to enjoy yourself to the fullest.
Happy Thanksgiving!
