Coal Ash Update
Hey Guys,
I just got an email from the Director of Research at the Tennessee Aquarium in response to my question about the coal ash spill. The Aquarium releases the sturgeon upstream from where the spill happened, and in a different tributary. This sounds like good news, and it probably is, but they know that many of the sturgeon migrate downstream. But really, it’s too soon to know anything for sure.
Just thought I’d let you know.
Love,
Jason

I was looking forward to hearing this update! What a good thing to hear. They will be ok, Jason, and the habitat will eventually regain it’s balance. Hugs.

I have an update too. Because of Jason, I have really gotten into Ray Comfort. I’ve been commenting there a lot. You know, just being myself. Recently, I commented this (I hope it gets through the censors because it stars a certain friend of ours!):

Cap’n Amanda said: “That’s what I thought, too. I’m actually a professional editor and couldn’t stay focused on that huge passage. Ray, you need to “chunk” your text for online reading, dude. Nobody’s going to read that huge block of unbroken text.”
Here here. This is a play I wrote about when I tried to read this horkin’ chunk. It’s in one act.
Act I
Admiral Akbar: Man, this is a huge block of unbroken text.
Dinosaur: Rawr!
Admiral Akbar: Dinosaur! What are you doing here!?
Dinosaur: I came to hang out.
Admiral Akbar: Oh, ok. Sounds good. Let’s go get some coffee. I can read this later.
Dinosaur: I like coffee.
Admiral Akbar: Really? Weird. How did you ever have coffee before.
Dinosaur: I coexisted with early humans.
Admiral Akbar: YOU DID? GET OUT!
Dinosaur: HAHAHAHAHAHA
FIN
True story. I mean, help me out guys?
It’s a trap,

Anydangway, I’m glad to hear that the sturgeons might be okay. Keep us up to date, Jason. We’re counting on you.
It’s a trap,

Someday I might post this:
Act I: in a hotel bar
Admiral Akbar: Hello Richard Dawkins
Richard Dawkins (seethingly british): hello.
Admiral Akbar: This is my friend Dinosaur.
Dinosaur: Rawr!
Richard Dawkins (seethingly british): hello.
Admiral Akbar: Aren’t you a little bit startled that I have a living breathing dinosaur with me, thus proving that dinosaurs and humans lived at the same time (sort of)?
Richard Dawkins (extra-seething and british): no.
Admiral Akbar and Dinosaur together: AW HOW COME?!
Richard Dawkins (seethingly british): 1, we are in a hotel bar, and I’m very, very drunk. 2, you are both obviously fictional charaters. 3, we are in a hotel bar, and I am very, very drunk.
Admiral Akbar and Dinosaur together: AW, MAN!

Admiral Akbar’s last post contained no reference to traps, which I can only assume is, indeed, the trap itself.

Did you see us argue? TRAP.

It’s an existential trap.

[…] was interviewed briefly for an article in the Chattanooga Times Free Press about the effects the coal ash spill might have on the sturgeon. I think I might have been the first person on the internet […]
