Yesterday

Yesterday in the late fifties until the late eighties were the best of times in POC for my family and myself. It was a time we spent the holidays and vacation time fishing and gigging flounder. We walked many miles looking for flounder to gig. During November we gigged the flounder and froze them for the coming year. There was a time when there was no limit on fish. This was a better time – fewer building in POC and the islands, fewer boats on the water, no game wardens, few guides, and food that cost less. Gone are the sea foods I could buy at Clark’s and the visit in the morning with old timers at the bait stands. The young family member will continue to enjoy POC at family reunions and so will I. Change will continue and I hope the New Year will be a good year for everyone.

Christmas Jar

My sincere thanks to the unknown person/persons who left a “Christmas Jar” at my front door the day before Christmas Eve. I was touched that someone had thought of me at this somewhat lonely time of year. I have already begun filling it up again to give to someone else next Christmas.
