How true...

Thanks for sharing your story, Dblackman. I enjoyed the read very much.

They should have to hang a sign outside fly shops: "Abandon hope, all ye who enter here!"

I went to a fly shop I dont go to very often a few weeks ago to pick up an order, and one of the owners was explaining the basics to a novice. I kinda felt bad that my first thought was, "Oh man, the poor guy has no idea what he's getting himself into."
