(Continued from Part 1.) SCRABBLE IS A MATH GAME Just as Scrabble involves math, have we applied enough math to our prepping?

Nothing says summer like spending a long day on the water and then bringing home a mess of fish for the pan. For many anglers, a summer fish fry is part of the season and every bit as iconic as watching baseball, launching fireworks, having picnics, and cannonballing into the local pool or swimming hole.
