Vue Family Photoshoot
Had a photoshoot over the weekend with my cousins, the Vue family. They wanted to take photos before the youngest son go back to California for more training. There are plenty other photos but these are the ones I touched up first. It went well considering how big the family was. Anyways here are the photos.
Roads
Certain roads in Sheboygan are in horrible condition. It has been like that for years and it seems like the city is not doing anything about it either. I understand that there might not be a big budget to fix all of them, but it has been too long. Also a lot of car's suspension take a good amount of beating from the poor condition of the roads. Which fixing them isn't cheap as well.
I can name a lot of roads that could use some or a lot of construction. First one would be Saemann Avenue going west from Calumet Avenue. That railroad crossing on that road is horrible. I would have to slow down so the car I'm driving doesn't take a beating, it gets very irritating. Another section of road would be right by our university, Taylor drive going north. Right before the lights, both lanes are just horrible and it has been like that for many years. One intersection that was horrendous for many years until around last year, is where North Ave and N. 15th street intersect. There were countless bumps, it was uneven, and dips.
Sheboygan roads are far better than milwaukee roads, which I hate driving around in the city due to the road conditions. Maybe because it's my car, due to it being low, but even if I'm driving another car, it still sucks, whether it be in Sheboygan or Milwaukee. I just wish that sheboygan would take some time and money to repair some intersections or stretches of roads that needs the attention.

Catch and Release
I remember growing up fishing with my dad and brothers whenever we can. Hooking worms on the hook was something I was never good at, along with tying the fishing line onto hooks or just getting the hook out of the fish's mouth. But I did however enjoy my time fishing and getting to bring back the fish we have caught throughout the day.
Many years went by and I haven't touched a fishing pole until my younger brother talked me into buying a new rod and reel to go fishing with him. I was hooked on again. We would go out for hours on end just fishing and getting burned by the hot summer sun. Whenever we would catch a large mouth bass, northern pike, or any other fish, my brother and I would always release it regardless of size.
Now I see that a lot of people I know would be bringing back a sort of fish back, whether they're big or small, legal size or not. Most of them will be eaten and some won't be. Which is a huge waste when that fish could be released back into the water and grow even bigger. Also getting decent sized bass around the area is hard to come by, especially for those, like me, who fish off the shore.
I have friends and cousins ask why I release the fish when I catch them, my reply is always the same, "because it gives them a chance to get bigger for other people to catch." I will keep on practicing catch and release in the coming years. And I hope more people catch on and spread the word about it.
