Hey, I do remember all my birthday sisters and brothers. At least the five of us I know about. I hope everybody’s birthday was a good one. Judging from this supersized hangover I have mine was a blast. 😃

Wow, I’m late!

Happy birthday, **SwampBear** and everyone else!

Say, **Swampy** … If you liked that salmon when you came out, I think salmon season is coming up fairly soon. I’m going to try to catch me one.

I don’t know how to fish. (Actually, I use to fish when I was a kid, but never in the ocean.) I don’t know the first thing about catching salmon. I FOAF is a Salish indian who made a documentary about how the natives fish. The doc. showed him making a fishing spear. That looked fun! Really, I’m looking forward to 16 August, when dungeness crab season opens in this part of Marine Area 7.
