• We all have to pick our battles. You've got to draw a line in the sand and stand firm. And it's this squishiness that's really the enemy, like, "Well, I don't know, it's kind of OK but I kind of feel guilty, and I kind of want a bran muffin, I don't know, and I'm wearing a vest; it's crocheted." Shut up. Just pick your battle and just stand there, and whatever you are going to do, own it.

• No puedes estar fresco y sentirte bien llevando un chaleco lavado bajo una camisa sin lavar; o, un chaleco sin lavar sobre una camisa lavada.

Pero en ese momento, estaba tan feliz que remó hacia Leo y lo besó en la mejilla, lo que lo sorprendió. "¿Me echas de menos?" Leo se rió. Piper se puso furiosa de repente. "¿Dónde estabais? ¿Cómo estáis vivos?" "Una larga historia", dijo. Una cesta de picnic subió a la superficie junto a él. "¿Quieres un brownie?

• Los pescadores de truchas suelen delatar su presencia ante los peces por el equipo que llevan. El yoyó que cuelga del chaleco de pesca con mosca y que se sujeta a las pinzas hemostáticas o al corta sedales suele estar chapado en cromo, lo que emite destellos de luz. Algunas cajas de moscas que se llevan en el pecho también son de aluminio brillante, lo que no es una buena idea. Hace poco pesqué con un tipo que llevaba un sombrero amarillo brillante en un arroyo de pradera en Pensilvania. Desde 100 metros de distancia se podían ver todos sus movimientos, y estoy seguro de que las truchas que estaban cerca de él también.

• Photography's a case of keeping all the pores of the skin open, as well as the eyes. A lot of photographers today think that by putting on the uniform, the fishing vest, and all the Nikons, that that makes them a photographer. But it doesn't. It's not just seeing. It's feeling.

• We are somewhat amused by the hysteria manifest in the press at the suggestion by Gordon Liddy that if one is menaced by bad guys (particularly the ninja) one is wise to shoot for the head. That statement has got a whole bunch of journalists and commentators bleeding from the nose. One wonders why it should. Where else should you shoot a man if he is probably wearing an armored vest? If you decide to shoot you have made the big decision. Where you place your shot is merely a technical matter.
