Goal for the future

I just saw this and it kinda pissed me off: http://bangordailynews.com/2011/07/14/uncategorized/republican-lawmaker-to-lead-sportsman%E2%80%99s-alliance-of-maine/

Maybe its the stereotype that Maine hunters and sportsman are Republicans who love their guns (maybe that’s just my stereotype) but to me, you don’t normally hear the words ‘democrat’ and ‘hunting’ in the same sentence. You definitely don’t hear the words ‘women’ ‘sportsman’s alliance’ and ‘hunting’ in the same sentence unless its as a special kind of hunting group just for women. Seriously – like I am any worst of a hunter because I am a girl.

So, as part of my retirement plan (groom snowmobile trails around central Maine!), I will figure out what I need to have done/on my resume in order to be qualified and then make a run. Can you imagine?? LIBERAL, FEMALE heads Sportsman’s Alliance of Maine. Priceless. Now, to figure out how to make it happen.

First though. I need sleep.

Have some respect or ruin it for the rest

A hunting license does not authorize you to enter private property without permission. Last week, my friend Robin and I got into a conversation about hunting on private vs public lands (and about hunting on Sundays, but that’s a different blog) and the lack of public...
