Crabbing can provide exciting fun for entire families and some great meals for little cost. Many people catch crabs in nets or traps, but I prefer handlines, especially with small children. As a young man, I went crabbing frequently. One time, my neighbor asked me to teach her and her children how to crab with handlines.

The fact that she had two beautiful teen daughters slightly older than me who looked great in shorts and bikini tops helped clinch the negotiations! We headed to my favorite crabbing spot.

One of the best races in this blockbuster election year will be for lieutenant governor. In bygone years, this was a much more powerful position than it is today.

The Senate relinquished this power to the lieutenant governor when the most brilliant parliamentarian in the annals of Alabama legislative history, Jim Allen, became lieutenant governor. The legendary Senator, Jim Allen of Gadsden, became lieutenant governor and...Article Link
