You know, maybe I'm just in a weird mood (probably) but while reading your update I had a sudden flashback to that news story that Rush picked up on, about the sea otter released back into the wild...

...who got eaten by a killer whale in full view of all the bystanders.

I think I deduced where he must have come from.... A neighbor not too far away has a big fish pond that was kindof a cool spot until the other neighbor logged his property, and then it got too much sun and had turned green and stunk to high heaven. I bet he lived in that pond and it couldn't support him any more. He probably was headed off for a new pond, or was lookin' for love... (in all the wrong places) :~D
