Elaboration on the theory of Doughnuts

Ok, so Ive already missed a day - so what. I spent most of yesterday trying to find a way to hold my head that didn't hurt while fumbling through my closet for my cleanest, dirty shirt. Thats what I do on Sundays - and watch the Cowboys suck.

We are getting some snow in the mountains, finally. As such, I will most likely be reticent to delve too deeply into significant angling axioms over the next few days. However, I will leave with you this tidbit of truth from several years back with a few touch-ups and refinements

"The world is full of two types of people. Doughnuts and Doughnut Holes. All Doughnut Holes come from Doughnuts. A doughnut knows everything that a doughnut hole knows, plus more. A doughnut hole can only know what a doughnut hole knows - it can never know all that a doughnut knows. Its a matter of capacity. 

Are you struggling to find your place in the angling world? Are you a doughnut or a doughnut hole? Here are some helpful ways to help determine guide your sense of self-worth.
