Just to clear up a misunderstanding, no one is guilty of anything until they are convicted in a court of law. What you meant to write was, "Anyone who violates the order CAN BE CHARGED with a misdemeanor...." etc.

Yeah. Because whatever you're doing now ain't working.

Take Horace Greeley's advice.

Not much information to go on but whatever you're doing wrong, stop it.

Funny. What the government is doing is relaxing the regulations to allow MORE dumping of mining waste in rivers and streams. It's part of their effort to revive the coal business.

When I was in the Navy we used to call shipmates who nitpicked at the fine points of Navy Regulations "sea lawyers". The last thing you wanted if you ever got a court martial was a sea lawyer to defend you; the Navy had plenty of experience dealing with them and they would get you into more hot water than they could ever get you out of if you took their advice. Don't be a "sea lawyer".

Hate to break it to you, but you and others like you are the reasons ponds get fenced in. The property owners at one time would have welcomed fishermen who had the courtesy to ask for permission to fish. But trespassers don't ask, so the owners Posted the property. When the trespassers ignored those signs, the owners fenced off the property. You probably aren't a property owner, so you wouldn't understand. I'll put it bluntly: you don't have the right to be on anyone's property if you don't have permission; you're no better than a poacher. So stop it.

Sure, they can be rewelded. Is that aluminum? If so, then when you take it for repairs, bring money. If you know what I mean.

I Googled "dallas, tx, shelter in place order" and got this:

https://www.dallasnews.com/news/public-health/2020/03/23/will-grocery-stores-open-can-i-walk-my-dog-faqs-about-dallas-countys-shelter-in-place-order/

I recommend you use a search engine like Google to get your info.

Your understanding is incorrect; Maryland is NOT under a "stay in place" order at this time. You can get information t the official Maryland site here:

https://coronavirus.maryland.gov

Please keep yourself and others informed through the official Maryland site and not through 'I heard' or "I understand'. That's why it "doesn't make good sense" to you.

Think of all the information that we learned as kids from all the various sources and how it would have been if we could have just gone to one place where someone had gathered it all together so we could not only read it but also hear it and see it. Wouldn't that have been great? Well, that's the internet, a department store of knowledge on every subject, and easy to shop for just what you're looking for. I hear a lot of people putting down computers, cell phones and the web. Get a horse!

No. Honorary Doctorates in Metaphysics and in Divinity. I was a Navy Nuclear-trained Electrician's Mate, Qualified in Submarines and served in Vietnam. I was a certified Red Cross First Aid instructor at one time, though. Now just certified to perform First Aid and CPR.
But none of that matters; I'm retired and I like to fish.
Good to hear from you also, Spiritof27!

I don't panic buy. I have a background in the US Navy Submarine force and we learned to do with almost nothing for long periods of time. I don't have much patience for people who suffer cabin fever; they have no idea what it's like to be truly isolated for so long that you don't even realized that the seasons have changed. As for panic buying and hoarding, that's pure selfishness. Get over it. Learn to be a human being, not an animal, and share with others. It's not socialism, in case you thought it might be; it's merely being a good person. Be a good person.

The internet is the greatest resource for learning about anything. Use it to learn about the fish you're trying to catch: what their habitat is, their range, what they feed on, when they're active, how they're affected by weather, tides, the moon and the sun, what kinds of bait to use, lures, etc. There's a lot to learn for every species of fish and it's all on the internet. Learn about your prey and use what you learned to catch them. Pretty simple, huh?

Generally speaking, the more expensive the unit, the more features it has. More features means more instructions and more instructions just doesn't equate with "user friendly". So, you have two choices. 1. Buy an inexpensive, stripped down beginner unit or, 2. Spend a day in your den with your expensive, feature-laden depth finder, the instruction manual and youtube.com on your computer. It'll be less painful if you have an adult libation or three to get you through it but you'll also forget most of it the next day when you go out on the water and try out everything you learned. So maybe skip the adult liquid until you've mastered your toy.
The alternative to all of that, of course, is to charter a boat and captain who knows how to use the boat's fish finder. Sure, it'll cost an arm and a leg every time you want to go fishing but it sure is "user friendly" and you'll be stimulating the local economy. Plus, they'll even clean your fish for you!
