An Experiment

News Writer is testing a theory at Stop The Press!.

To avoid contaminating the experiment, I’ll note that it took four hours for the subject to appear at this lonely outpost. I assume it’s a ‘bot searching for certain names and nouns.

speaking of another type of contamination….don’t eat the fish!

The only fish I with an regularity are deep Gulf grouper, and it is becoming rarer and rarer. I assume automatically that anything around a river or bayou is going to be polluted.

There are too many coal-fired power plants for mercury not to the a problem, and any river running through an agricultural or suburban area is going to have pesticides and fertilizer in it.

I can see the difference in the water quality in the local bayou. When I grew up down here you could see the bottom of the bayou through the water in the center. Now you’re lucky if you can see the bottom within three feet of shore.

I’m always astonished when I see someone fishing in the bayou near my apartment. Either they’re awfully hungry, or else they’re unaware of the water treatment plant nearby.

Most people are totally unaware of the dangers that pollution adds to the food stream. I feel the same way when I see someone fishing in my bayou. I wouldn’t swim in that water, much less eat anything that came out of it.

Oddly enough, the expected post never arrived. I must check the keywords again to see what I missed. Or maybe the good reverend actually does his checking by hand and decided to mess with me.

I tried fishing once. Never caught a thing, but it was relaxing.

That is odd, because he got here in just a few hours.

My post referenced the murders in Pensacola, which is local news for me.
