Uncle Cal Reflects on Congress and Nodding Politicians
Uncle Cal from Caribou offers a rural voice on Congress with a mix of humor and skepticism. He cites a Washington column noting language diversity, vacation travel costs, and a light workload, then weighs fairness of lawmakers back home amid election prep. He ends with a quirky call for more committees. Salmon fishing wraps up as rivers near year end with openings and closures outlined for main runs and tributaries.
