This carved pike is the same size as the northern I caught on Ensign in 2008 doing a solo. The most exciting couple hours of my life. Following the great battle I had for ~10 minutes, I went back to camp and cooked some fish for dinner. I was surprised by a black bear during my brief eating time and was bluffed charged and huffed at. I posted other pictures on my trip report back then. My wife then found a chain saw artist back home and had this carving done. It is all 1 peice of wood, and we now have it on our front porch.

First Father's Day without my Dad on Cherokee Lake.

Joy is a great teacher, but so is dispair. Wonder is a great teacher, but so is confusion. Hope is a great teacher, but so is disillusionment. And life is a great teacher, but so is death. To deny yourself any of those in any aspect is not experiencing life totally.

Good question. I don't have an answer but just looked up Calendars on Wikepedia. Lots of calendar types: solar, lunar, lunisolar, Gregorian, Islamic, Hindu, arithematic, atronomical, complete and incomplete just a few examples. Maybe this contest is based on the can't-keep-up-with-stuff one. Maybe same names for the months or intervals but lengths or beginning-end times are different.
