I went to Sportsman's Warehouse today to buy more fishing gear that I don't need.

Since it was nearby, I went to B&N to buy a book I do need. The pandemic made me forget: 1) how many books are in that store; and 2) how unlikely it is that the book I wanted was on a B&N shelf.

2/ I said to a young salesperson working today in the fishing tackle section at Sportsman's Warehouse: "My god, these 11 inch flashers are purple and green and one has a e- chip in it. Do resident coho salmon really take these lures?’ And he said, ‘Mister, I don’t sell to fish.’”

3/ Full disclosure: I straight up stole that fishing tackle joke from Charlie Munger, who probably stole it from someone else. awealthofcommonsense.com/2015/08/10-und…

4/ I'm getting DMs asking what I bought at Sportsman's Warehouse.

I bought new rain gear. We're trying to stay dry. Water has been coming down hard.

I'm waving at you in this shot below. Green = rain! google.com/amp/s/www.seat…

5/ What does a Seattleite do on a rainy day? Well, buy three geoducks and and make sashimi and chowder obviously! Buy them where? Here: suquamishseafoods.com

The Suquamish tribal geoduck harvest averages 500,000 lbs. per harvest year. Most are exported to Asia. Tasty!

6/ "Now that's a geoduck clam."

Tony Bourdain once ate geoduck near where these were dug from the sand..

Sashimi and chowder.
