Come on boys. I have tatoos all over me, all over me. I am rough around the edges, chew copenhagen and get stereotyped from time to time. I could give a shit. Now, just as you Generation Xers and all the post Vietnam babies (I was born in 68) expect the oldtimers to accept us, how about cutting a little slack to the older folks and not jumping up this guy's ass for being honest. I bet if you wet a line with him, he'd see his ways as a bit rigid and unyielding and come to learn that tatoos, piercings and nose rings are are part of our generations just like stovepipe pants, crew cuts, leather jackets and roach killers, DAs, or if he's young enough, hair down to his ass was in his younger days. We're all just flyfisherman and we all love seeing that rise, feeling that pull and watching that indicator go down in the most beautiful places on earth. The old can teach the young, the young can teach the old, and sharing a fishing hole crosses all boundaries. :beer2:
It always seems that the things we dislike the most in people have deep seeded roots somewhere in ourselves. I speak for myself here, its something I've come to grips with. Maybe after 38 years, I'm growing up. Coach
