heading upstream

Current mood: pirate

Have you ever seen anything more unattractive?

No.... not the fellow. The critter he's holding (for the sake of my sanity, let's not call it the "f" word).

This is called a Coho Salmon and... now hold on to your hats here... I ate it! I know, I know. It's a stinking ole fi... nope, no use of the "f" word. It's a salmon.

EEEEEKKKKSSSS!!!!! I might be kinda freaking out just a little bit here. I can tell you this... it was tolerable.

If I were stranded on a desert island where salmon actually swimmed in the ocean waters around me (I know, but this is MY fantasy so play along), then I would be able to survive. Well, I'd survive with a little salmon, fresh water I catch in leaves and maybe the young English doctor dude from "House."

I can guarantee that I am not about to try Octopus Balls or Oysters, but other things are not completely out of question. The fact that I ate salmon is not foreshadowing any other future wild endeavors... or is it?

And hey... no blindfold was required (though it could have been fun).

Oh! And I haven't broken anything in 3 days (knock on wood)!!!!! So, I think I can officially return to china shops!
