Horsemen v. Fisherman I was taking a walk at the lakes near my house. Enjoying the beautiful day I happened to see two horseback riders in the distance. For some reason I enjoy a walk more when encountering people on horseback. When I got closer I saw that they were police officers. They rode up near a man who was fishing, stopped, and struck up a conversation with him.

"How's the fishing today?" asked one of the officers. "One fish in five hours" replied the man. "That sucks", replied the officer. Kind of a nice scene, I thought to myself. Then came the next question. "So, you have your permit and registration with you?". Well, that sort of ruined what I thought was an emerging picture of bucolic friendliness.  ¶ 15:37 0 comments
