ESTIMATING THE WEIGHT OF A BROWN TROUT
You can estimate the weight of a brown trout if you remember that a 20-inch fish weighs 3 pounds and a 25-inch fish weighs 5 pounds. For every inch over 25 inches, add 1 pound to the weight of the fish. For example, a 27-inch brown trout weighs 7 pounds.

MEASURING THE HEALTH OF CIVIL SOCIETY
If locals mark major events like weddings, sporting victories or the start of spring break by shooting off a couple hundred rounds of high-velocity ammunition, it's a sign that at the very least there's something wrong with the police department, if not the social contract.

LET GRAVITY BE YOUR FRIEND
Always park the truck above the project so that you can shovel downhill into the project. If you are loading a truck, park it on the downside of the project to ease the shoveling effort.
