Default Dead Fish

Boy do we have them.

Tons and tons of them washing up all over the beaches. More on every tide. Billions and billions. Boy does it stink. The gulf is a dead zone around here right now.

You can't see the sand for the fish carcasses.

They're blaming red tide and a blue bloom that's being dumped on us from lake ochochobee.

Personally, I'm blaming GWB. I noticed most of the dead fish are bottom dwellers. The true low life of the sea. The kind that can't get out of their own way.

If GWB had let us drill for oil in the gulf off Florida, all those poor fish would have had a structure to call their home.

Hi ya, Flats. Didn't you go to the hurricane area to help with a roof? How'd that go?

Are you close to the beach where you live, so these smelly dead fish are hard to get away from?

Hi Kyras

Yes if you're within a quarter mile of the beach you can smell it.

We helped fix a roof on a farm house, helped tarp another couple and left the rest of the supplies there. Lots of neighbors were around helping neighbors.
