    US Marines to deploy to Australia

    We have very few "combat" forces in Japan. That draw down began when I was there in '71-72. The only large combat force left in japan is on Okinawa, and that is being drawn down as well.

    US Marines to deploy to Australia

    Occupy Japan? :confused: The last I heard the US occupation in Japan ended in 1952. I was one year old then. I guess I missed something when I was stationed there. I though I was there under a statute of forces agreement.

    Deer hunt

    We have a small freezer on the truck. We carry a few venison steaks, burger etc. She will do more when we are home over Christmas. I hope to get over to my friends place during late doe season. One more would be nice. Till then, I hope to get a few more ducks in the freezer.

    US Marines to deploy to Australia

    Are you going to volunteer to rewrite all the treaties involved AND the Constitution of Japan? Don't count on our government doing that. I don't want that job. It would interfere with my hunting.

    Study links Parkinson's disease to industrial solvent

    Golf is the main cause. Everyone that I know who had Parkinson's also played golf. I wonder if walking in areas that are contaminated by heavy amounts of fertilizers and pesticides are having an impact?

    The last youth hunt did not go so well. The kids were great but we had a problem with our primary tender boat. The ignition switch burned up and we could not start it. We always have at least one back up tender boat so we picked up the layout boat and decoys and came back in. We only managed 4...

    Gales of November

    Yesterdays wind storms in SE Michigan were right on cue. The famous "Gales of November" are part and parcel of the history of the State. The most famous "victim" of the "Gales" was the Edmond Fitzgerald. She was an ore carrier that was very well known in the Detroit area. She was built in...

    I had the wonderful privilege to hunt with 3 fine young people today. 2 boys and one girl. All were 11 or 12 years old. I spent about an hour in the layout boat with the 12 year girl. She was riot to hunt with. She missed almost everything that came in. Her "style" of shooting, very slow...

    The Cain Mutiny

    He should have said NOTHING! (Don't get me wrong, I don't want him for our president. The ONLY people he MIGHT be better than is Obama and Paul. Other than that he SUCKS) You are then saying that company lawyers NEVER pay off lying dogs because it is cheaper than fighting it in court? Are...

    Reports are saying Paterno to step down.

    It amazes me how few people seem to NOT understand that, for now, these are ALLEGATIONS ONLY. No one can say that ANYONE messed up until it is PROVEN in a court of law.
