One of the best things about Bishop is the proximity to Convict Lake. There are some nice trout there.

Yes indeed, and about 100 other equally as great lakes although for trout im more of a stream fisherman myself. Another little known fishery in the Owens river valley are the ponds and backwaters on either side of the river. Loaded with bass and bluegill. Nothing to big but for sheer numbers probably the best bass fishing I've ever done and I've done plenty.

Some bone idle shits in the USA! The UK is catching up though with the shopping trolley sarga, this is down to the £1 deposit being removed.

Yeah, most grocery stores in Germany require a 50 cent deposit to use a shopping cart. When you take it back, you get your 50 cent back.

Aldi (which happens to be a German store) here in the US requires a 25 cent deposite. You never see a cart left in the parking lot.

Aldi in the UK is the same - a £1 charge for the cart.

Do you mean to say that I've been returning my carts for free all of these years?

Well the other way is free as well. You return your cart, you get your money back. It only keeps non-lazy, and non-ignorant people non-lazy, and non-ignorant.

If they leave them in the lot after paying the deposit, can you retrieve them to collect the unclaimed deposits?

Absolutely, but I doubt you will find them left in the lot. I've never seen it. People always want their money back regardless of how little the amount is.

These are Aldi Carts...

It's kind of sad actually, that people care more about a 25 cents than they care about what kind of place they live in.

I don't disagree...

Hey just occurred to me, you seem pretty familiar with the Bishop area so I'm guessing maybe you go up there to fish from time to time also.
If sometime luck would have it that we're both headed up there about the same time maybe we could meet up and do a little fishing. Would be nice to meet some if you guys in person.

My last time there was in May of 1978. My parents lived at the Mammoth Lakes airport from June of 1972 to June of 1973 before they decided that the winters were too cold. I would go visit during the summer of 1972 where I would go to Convict and fish. Back then you could also swim in Hot Creek. Take the gondola ride to the top of Mammoth Mountain and you can see for over 100 miles.

Sounds like I'm a few decades late to meet up for some fishing. I will take your suggestion and ride the gondola at Mammoth though. Thats one of the few things up there I haven't done yet.

Smokers at work that have to spit on the sidewalk right at the entryway to the warehouse area!!! That's just disgusting, and they have been warned about it in the past. The part that really gets me is a footstep in any direction and they can loose their loogey in the grass rather than right in front of the door. People are pigs, my apologies to the pig.

The weather. No sun, no snow, no ice, just nothing to cheer about. Just this depressing grey coloured sky. Waiting for either real winter to arrive ( unlikely) or spring.
