Fascinating commentary, followed by a most interesting chart(s).

As always, thank you.

Fishing is always a pleasant experience. I have some friends that would go well beyond that statement.

Most of them are avid trout fishermen.

Got spoiled, living in the Marianas - deep sea was dirt cheap until the Japanese boom.

It's gotten rather cheap, again.

Stinkin' Hilbloom (not called such, just used to run out the founder of ComputerLand - he was the party/power that pushed that sucker through) amendment.
