Thin Crust Tavern Cut on Nostr: I pride myself on being a fisherman who's not especially interested in competition ...
I pride myself on being a fisherman who's not especially interested in competition and not because I usually lose. But then I'm also at large in the twenty-first century when it's hard not have the words “catch more” and “bigger” on the cover. So when my father would have shrugged and said the fish aren't bitin’, I now have to suspect I'm not deploying the proper technology. I tell myself it's only fishing and my confidence should not be so shallow.
