A few years ago I was living in Sterlington, LA, and they were removing
locks and dams in the Ouachita river with dynamite. The rednecks were
boating downstream dipping out the stunned and dead floaters - they told me
later they saw fish they ain't NEVER seen before! Unfortunately I wasn't
into fish at the time - I surely would have l;iked to have a look!

"Instead of giving money to found colleges to promote
learning, why don't they pass a constitutional amendment
prohibiting anybody from learning anything? If it works as
good as the Prohibition one did, why, in five years we would
have the smartest race of people on earth." -- American
humorist Will Rogers (1879-1935)
