My Opinion Counts

Hubby goes fishing in southern Indiana at least once a year and more if possible. The lakes there are old coal strip mines. They have been reclaimed and are wonderful fishing spots. They contain lots of bass and what hubby fishes for, bluegill.

The area is very grassy and apparently is full of ticks. A good friend and fishing buddy of hubby's got bit by a tick and spent a week in the hospital.

Does anyone know if there is a repellent for ticks?

If you don't associate caviar with the state of Indiana, well, it turns out you're mostly right. Last week in Vevay, IN, state conservation officers broke up a ring that was illegally harvesting paddlefish eggs and then selling them as caviar.

A shortage of sturgeon eggs has spawned a lucrative market for paddlefish eggs, which have a similar taste and look. Paddlefish can be legally harvested in the Ohio River but not in tributaries like Tanner's Creek, which is among the locales where the ring was allegedly operating. The tributaries have heavy concentrations of spawning fish, and paddlefish are threatened.

Quite a few of us bloggers have been trying ways to get more people to read our blogs. I have listed my blog in the Grokodile blog directory. It is a fun blog directory because it lists our blogs by regions. Now I can go to the Indiana section and find others from my state who like to blog. It is fun to meet new people and find out what they are blogging about. Since I live in a small community, this blog directory is the best because people living in smaller communities will not get swallowed up in a directory where no one can find them. Be sure to list your blog at Grokodile because, unlike a lot of other directories, your site will be found. Sponsored post.
