I’m glad he caught it before it got into the lake!

(I’m guessing I’m missing something in the translation?)

Speaking of fish, I watched a movie on Netflix from 1980 where salmon mutated into half fish, half human and tried kill all the men of a town and rape all the women.

Now THAT is about as FAR OFF TRACK of the topic as one can get!!

If you can’t be with the one you love,
Love the wine you’re with!

And remember, You’re only as old as who you feel!

Oh, brother. They’ll probably claim it’s due to global warming.

Things do get better.
I remember walking down the street and suddenly being angry at just about everyone.
Testosterone spikes up and down.

Eventually things settle down.
