II. Editor's Corner

Things are really getting exciting at the LakeTawakoni.com site, and I wanted to take this opportunity to let all of you in on it, as I have to believe that you are all a big part of it. We are growing in leaps and bounds, and I have yet to see the big "slow down" for the site that I was told to expect in the fall and winter. It might still come, but it hasn't started yet.

In the four months since we have come on line there have been quite a few changes to the site. Some of them I had anticipated, and some of them just happened. The site has taken on a life of its own and I'm just trying to hold on and keep it all together!

Something I think you should all check out. Be sure to view the Fishing Headlines - the Sept. 27, 1999 article in particular. It talks about the new "FISH TEXAS" promotion from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department. Get a friend into fishing and win cool stuff from TPW. Check out the article and then get fishing!

Thank you all for making us a success. I hope you continue to come back to the site and enjoy all that we have to offer.

Tip of the month:
--------------------

Fishing Pole Case

A 3" inside diameter length of PVC plastic water pipe with plastic end caps makes a great fishing pole case. It's cheap, simple, floats and lasts for years. Straps are easy to put on it if you need them, and if not, it's still safe and easy to handle.

VII. This Months Funny

Scouting Trip Letter
--------------------

Dear Mom and Dad,

Our scoutmaster told us to write to our parents in case you saw the flood on TV and were worried. We are OK. Only one of our tents and two sleeping bags got washed away.

Luckily, none of us got drowned because we were all up on the mountain looking for Chad when it happened. Oh yes, please call Chad's mother and tell her he is OK. He can't write because of the cast.

I got to ride in one of the search and rescue jeeps. It was neat. We never would have found him in the dark if it wasn't for the lightning.

Scoutmaster Walt got mad at Chad for going on a hike alone without telling anyone. Chad said he did tell him, but it was during the fire so he probably didn't hear him.

Did you know that if you put gas on a fire, the gas can will blow up?

The wet wood didn't burn, but one of the tents did. Also some of our clothes. John is going to look weird until his hair grows back.

We will be home on Saturday if Scoutmaster Walt gets the car fixed. It wasn't his fault about the wreck. The brakes worked OK when we left.

Scoutmaster Walt said that with a car that old you have to expect something to break down; that's probably why he can't get insurance.

We think it's a neat car. He doesn't care if we get it dirty, and if it's hot, sometimes he lets us ride on the fenders.

It gets pretty hot with 10 people in a car.

He let us take turns riding in the trailer until the highway patrolman stopped and talked to us.

Scoutmaster Walt is a neat guy.

Don't worry, he is a good driver. In fact, he is teaching Terry how to drive on the mountain roads where there isn't any traffic. All we ever see up here is logging trucks.

This morning, all of the guys were diving off the rocks and swimming out in the lake. Scoutmaster Walt wouldn't let me because I can't swim, and Chad was afraid he would sink because of his cast, so he let us take the canoe across the lake. It was great. You can still see some of the trees under the water from the flood. Scoutmaster Walt isn't crabby like some scoutmasters. He didn't even get mad about the life jackets.

He has to spend a lot of the time working on the car so we are trying not to cause him any trouble.

Guess what? We have all passed our first aid merit badges. When Dave dove in the lake and cut his arm, we got to see how a tourniquet works. Wade and I threw up, but Scoutmaster Walt said it probably was just food poisoning from the leftover chicken. He said they got sick that way with food they ate in prison.

I'm so glad he got out and became our scoutmaster. He said he sure figured out how to get things done better while he was doing his time.

By the way, what is a pedophile?

I have to go now. We are going to town to mail our letters and buy bullets. Don't worry about anything. We are fine.

Love, Cole

P.S.: How long has it been since I had a tetanus shot?
