Opening day of fishing season is in a little over a week & we haven't gotten our licenses yet. The State of Connecticut, in its infinite wisdom, has doubled the cost of every fishing & hunting license( and camping fees & many other things!)! Obviously it's to raise money, but I think many folks just won't get them instead! Alan gets a combo license that went from $28.00 to $56.00.

From left to right--my dad, my sister and me! Fishing in a pond at Brewster State Park on Cape Cod--1954.

Trudging back to our campsite with an empty pole!
Makes me want to whistle the Andy Griffith theme, Ann, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat's funny, but true!
ReplyDeleteI thought Ontario was the place to stick the fishing pole all in the name of taxes. The states are doing a good job also.
ReplyDeleteTexas wanted 15 bucks for a 1 day licence or $67 for a 6 month. No in-between rates for a short vacation fishing trip.
HAHA.. Andy griffith theme song HA.
ReplyDeleteNow thats funny !!! hahaha
