To those who had planed on going to the refuge this weekend you might want to start thinking about option B. If this federal stop gap budget isn't passed today the place will be closed.

Gary Droze is in Washington right now, lobbying his butt off to get a bill passed.

You think that would keep me out of there? They can't bust me if they can't see me.

Someone might pull a Citizen's Arrest on a hard case like you.

At the very least, they'll have drones buzzing all over the place.

In an email, Interior Department spokesman Heather Swift said:

"The American public and especially our veterans who come to our nation's capital should find war memorials and open-air parks open to the public. Additionally, many of our National Parks, refuges and other public lands will still try to allow limited access wherever possible. For example, this means that roads that have already been open should remain open (think snow removal) and vaulted toilets (wilderness type restrooms) should remain open, however services that require staffing and maintenance such as campgrounds, full-service restrooms, and concessions that require some Park staff or assistance will not be operating.

"Other areas such as culturally sensitive areas or backcountry areas that present a risk to visitors may also have restricted access."

Perfect. I'll have my military veteran I.D. on me. Go USA!

Chaos Reigns

During the last govt shutdown the Refuge was open, someone who isn't me may have taken advantage of the situation to ride their dual sport motorcycle down all the trails and dike roads there that normally are closed and patrolled by "The Man" to reach some fishing spots otherwise not accessible without many hours of hiking or biking...

No such mischief needed today. Gate was open, creeks filled with finger mullet, and brackish water largemouth bass hitting bait like they were auditioning for a TV fishing show. The Refuge pools are harboring many bass over 4lbs, and they fight as hard as reds of same weight. I got dunked trying to land one this morning while wading off the levee bank.

We all need to be in Washington right now demanding our military get their pay while the clowns are having their S---Show P-----G contest. This crap ain't funny.

Fact is, the military just got paid on the 15th. And chances are the clowns in Washington will at least pass another kick-the-can bill to get them paid on the 30th when their next paycheck is due.

If I had my druthers every single member of Congress would be out of a job and the same goes for the POTUS.

Did I p**s and accidentally soak your Cheerios, RB? Seems like every post I make you've got to harp on it?

I agree with Congress, but Mr. Huge Hair is doing exactly what he was elected to do. Its a great day when I wake up and realize that suicide Hitlary ain't in the Whitehouse! How you could dislike the performance of the economy in just one year under Trump is baffling!

I rarely read Pitts, but in this case he's right on target.

I'm registered as No Party Affiliation. Didn't vote for Hillary either. But I do wonder why this country can't come up with a real leader.

Time to start planning my next fishing trip.

But I do wonder why this country can't come up with a real leader instead of the draft-dodging, venomous carny hypnotist occupying the Oval Office right now. Yes, MD, there is more at stake than the economy, which was rapidly improving under the last POTUS, who was totally unqualified as well.

Time to start planning my next fishing trip. Right after I finish digging my bomb shelter. If there are any fish left after Trump, Scott, et al get done gutting all regulations in the name of jobs and the economy.

Seems like you're the one acting like someone pi**ed in your cheerios! Lots of vitriol from you directed at the president. The name calling is very unbecoming.... unless you're 12, which I know you're not!! Sad really!
