Over The Reef

Sailboats, fishing, environmental policy, and other interests of Joe Wagner

Herring Cove Beach

August 27, 2019 by Joe

“…People with boats can go wherever they want, using their electronics to help them find the fish, but the shore fisherman has to make a best guess and hope it’s right.”

Night Fishing on the Coast

August 11, 2019 by Joe

“It feels out of scale–standing on (or on a rock maybe 100 feet from) the shore of the Atlantic Ocean and casting out a matter of yards. Sometimes it seems ridiculous to think that I can catch anything from a water body so vast. Is there even one fish in the area to see the lure I’m casting out? At least in a small lake you know that the fish are there, it’s just a matter of whether they are biting or not. Out here, there may not be a fish within a mile of my lure, and I would be none the wiser.”

Finding a niche for a small state

January 31, 2018 by Joe

“…With modern technology, businesses and their employees can be connected from anywhere, so it’s easy to pick a new home for your company based on cheaper taxes, lower wages, or whatever else a company is looking for…”

What is the cost of a bad hiring decision?

January 4, 2018 by Joe

Cost of bad hiring

43% of respondents from the National Business Research Institute study said that “the need to fill the positions quickly” was the main reason that bad hires are made.

Does increasing the minimum wage work in the long term?

December 22, 2017 by Joe

economy, minimum wage

”

So, if you bring lower wage jobs into the same wage range as other middle-class jobs, does that mean that the two groups are now in competition with each other?  Does this mean that qualifications and standards for employment in those once low-paying jobs will go up too?”

About Me:

A little about me…I’m Joe. I like to learn, and I’m interested in just about anything.

You can usually find me outside- Maybe fishing on a lake or beach, hiking with my dogs, camping in the woods, or trying to sail.

Or, trying to learn a language (mostly unsuccessfully) or reading about who-knows-what.  Quite often, you’ll find me out working on the car or building something in the garage.

Read on…hopefully you’ll find something here that interests you.
