Go to http://www.google.com
Search by "[your state] department natural resources area service fish"
Search by "[species name] [common name]"
etc.
Reading it again, the sentences with "state" and "members" were back to
back, and my mind merged them. I hate it that we even have to think about
things like that, but we do. When I'm at schools, there's _always_ another
adult around.
I may be a creepy fish guy, but I don't need to get branded that type of
"creepy"! :)
Again, this is absolutely no criticism! I just saw it and though "hmmmmm...
maybe we should talk a little about this." :)
