After fuel costs, ice, paying deckhands and upkeep on a trawler...well...there’s not much money to be made these days with tasteles, rubbery Vietnamese and Thai shrimp flooding the market...but who cares..it’s cheap......i live about 10 miles from Bayou La Batre...i know a little about the biz....do we subsidize, protect?...well i don’t have an answer...but we did pretty good in this country for many a years eatin’ good ole gulf shrimp.
My wife always asks me why i don’t order shrimp when we dine out at chain restaurants...i tell her that that crap is a pale comparison to Alabama wild shrimp...i can tell the difference immediately.
Only a small minority is actually capable of carrying on a conversation about the government
I feel your pain....i have one friend that i can carry a conversation with about the country in general...if i followed football, baseball or basketball, i’d have many more conversations with the rest of the people i know....i am discouraged too.
No....i will be clearer so you don’t have to guess...i think anyone going over to Afghanistan for the sole purpose of spreading their religion is asking for a big heap of trouble...and in my opinion is a damn fool...just wanted to clear it up....and also i hope not one coalition troop has to waste more than two seconds in their busy day at trying to save these or any other people that get their asses in a crack....much less the government of Afghanistan...they have enough problems.
The mythbusters proved that it is better to run your air conditioner when you are going over 55 mph...the drag caused by windows rolled down defeats the savings....IIRC
