Fate and fortune have found it's way between Huntsville and Toledo, Bruce
and those to the south. My very close friend went to China for summer study
and met herself a fella studying at AL A&M (an upstate NY white guy none the
less lol) who's a herper and a field dude and would be perfectly content
teaching at a small liberal arts school (that's all frowned upon in my here
parts).
Anyway, he's got this fella, some local there, that's an old river rat on
the Paint Rock that guides him around in canoes. I think we're gonna have a
trip here before too long now that I have someone to split the gas with :)
He said they were looking at mussels last time, and they got this "THING"
that was huge and ripple-ey and it scared them lol. Mmmmm...
Megalonaias....
