Cleanup on Aisle 5..

Today's cloud cover provided for just the right temperature for a comfortable river walk. Last week's accumulation of debris from the river flooding has been removed and the finishing touches of sweeping away the mud on the roadway was being completed this morning. There were several fishermen and even someone that was fly-fishing. It's always interesting to see the different types of fishermen as indicated by their garb, their poles, their equipment, and ultimately the number of fish on their stringers. Yesterday I passed someone who looked like he just stepped out of an Orvis catalog - coordinated pants, boots, vest, and hat. This man may not have caught a thing, but he sure looked the part. This is in contrast to the man that I saw a few days ago who asked to use my cell phone so he could call a cab. He looked a little scruffy in his ballcap, tee shirt, shorts and sneakers and the only way you would guess he was a fisherman is the stringer he proudly held containing the allowable catch limit. He told me that he didn't have a car but he loved to fish so he was willing to spring for the cab fare. Yep, cab fare - $30, stringer full of fish - priceless!
