A Judge make a good choice

Judge sides with wild salmon

Basically the Bush admin and a bunch of property rights groups ( big time corp farmers who want to remove salmon and steelhead protection so that they can get cheaper and better access to river water, so that they are free to cut down and trees they wish, and finally are free to use any pesticides they wish no matter what the impact on the environment ) were pushing to count fish raised in a hatchery as the same thing as wild born and raised fish. There are numerous problem with this, including the fish being far more likely to catch diseases, the hatchery fish having far weaker instincts, and the wild fish will be out bred by the hatchery fish simply because of sheer numbers.
Hatchery fish have their place, like here in Ohio. The main type of trout we have in Ohio is hatchery raised steelhead and I'm very happy to have the chance to catch them but they aren't replacing a native population of fish in Ohio. This is certainly not the case in the steelhead and salmon's native range. I just hope the appeals judge is as sane as this one was.

Cool Photo Essay

What the world eats.

It's cool but I'm not sure it means a whole lot. I will say that alot of the other countries food looked alot better that the USA's.

Very interesting article on the Enviroment and It's protection

Save SteelHead and Save Ourselves.

One of the reasons I want to become a biologist is to help save and protect speices like the steelhead, Altantic Salmon, and Striped Bass.These amazing animals can only be destroyed though man's action, rather that be the overfishing and poplution or simply not doing anything to help save them now that we have hurt them badly.
The article it's self doesn't have any facts in it but rather sums up rather nicely how I feel about protecting wild fish.

Accent quiz

What American accent do you have? Your Result: The Midland   "You have a Midland accent" is just another way of saying "you don't have an accent." You probably are from the Midland (Pennsylvania, southern Ohio, southern Indiana, southern Illinois, and Missouri) but then for all we know you could be from Florida or Charleston or one of those big southern cities like Atlanta or Dallas. You have a good voice for TV and radio.

:p
I know you may not listen to it but i think it's pretty good. He's not singing it by the way, which I agree with you that no one can or should sing it.

I've liked him since he played at the University of Michigan and liked him more since he became a Cleveland Brown. He is a good football player but this shows him to be a great person.

They are all cool species indexes. One day I will be a biologist. It's something like this that I really want to do with my life. Use what I have learned in Information Technology and combine it with biology. Hopefully Marine biology, helping to conserve and rebuild either Atlantic Salmon or Striped Bass stocks. Something I always wanted to do but never felt I had the chance nor the support from the important people (my parents) in my life but I do now. Thank you Katie, it means the world to me that you want me to do something that I dreamed about and will make me happy.

I love this song

Clutch Electric Worry


I've listened to it probably twenty times today. I love it. It's a great thing when you can still find music that thrills you.

Great beginning to the weekend

I'm on a blogging streak so I gotta post something today to keep it up.

Had a great start to what looks to be a great weekend. Some good friends came over and we dug out the giant lylac ( too much digging and too many beers, well not really, to worry if i spelled that even remotely close ) bush in our backyard. Drank some beer had and had a good supper. Spent the rest of the night laughing at his wife and Katie.
Tomorrow I going fishing. The weather should be perfect and the fish should be going crazy.
Sunday it's off to the zoo to see Lions and Tigers and Bears....Oh My! ;) They are having their annual Earth fest for Earth Day. Lots of info about recycling and organic food. I'm really excited.
I hope everyone else is having a great weekend also.

I wish I could be here to see this

Jimi plays voodoo chile (slight return)

I wish I could have seen Hendrix (Or Stevie Ray Vaughan for that matter) play. So creative and different. Amazing player, he really painted sound scapes, gave the music a sound and a color. There have been many who are more techinally skilled but none that could play with the texture and power that he had .
