How do you catch canned salmon? Whenever I go salmon fishing, I’ve always had to use a hook and catch them live.

Canned salmon? They want booze or drugs.

Poorly written sentence by the "journalist".

You can them the same as any other garden produce or meat.

We’re in Washington state just below Seattle, right now. Tent cities everywhere.

What a Fairy Tale this is.

Pg. 2, …… and then Snow White appeared and the homeless through down their hypodermic needles and modeled their lives after the 7 dwarfs.

Commend them for what they are doing. Having said that, just like my churches proison ministry I serve, you have to be careful and remember who you are around. Among other recomendations the 4.5 hour orientation I had to attend highly recommended we pray with our eyes open.

There’s nothing like being attacked by a knife wielding drunk when you’re trying to serve them food to bring a person down to earth again...

Sadly, most homeless want to be that.

I’ve read that in Los Angeles they built apartment buildings where they could live, but one of the conditions was “no drugs”/ The homeless did not like it and didn’t want to live there.

True story, it was a few years ago, but I remember it reported in the paper.

Lot of shelters people get attacked, stuff stolen, have to go through drug testing, etc. They prefer to not stay in a shelter, feel safer and less rules on the streets.

I wasn’t talking about shelters, this was a program where they would get their own little apartments.

You are feeding them and making it worse.

Feels good but, it is actually inhumane, amoral and immoral.

Those pepple are the descendants of leeches, fools and lazy azzez.

Put it to them and give them a fishing pole so they can work for their food and an axe for firewood but, never, ever feed anything feral...

Their funerals will be sad.

Meant to say:
“Those pepple are the descendants of leeches, fools and lazy azzez of Plymouth Colony , circa early 1600’s...”

How do you catch canned salmon?

I remember a Bob Hope war comedy. The supply ship with the beer goes down, Hope figures out the currents, and finds a cove full of beer cans.

Perhaps a cannery ship went down off the coast, and Damian's father "caught" such cans of salmon before the tide change?

Either that, or the father actually did the home canning thing - pressure cooking Ball jars of the salmon he caught.

That’s how my dad canned salmon: a steamcanner on the stove, and the kitchen table full of Mason jars.
