I'd be in that boat,Summerside,that is some scary math.
The day is etched in my thoughts almost as deeply as the J.F.K. day.Short of doing the depressing math,I was in my early teens.We were having one of those little picnic deals at a state park somewhere and I was fishing for a couple hours,not catching anything,just fishing.Finally caught this thing that had a trout head,and the rest of the body looked like a carp.Ugliest fish I ever saw.That was enough fishing so I went back to the picknickers and someone had a radio setting on the picknicking table.I was instantly hooked by the now infamous bassline of Sundown.Funny how a thing like that can stick in yer brain so vividly....
