My Granddaughter phoned from Huntsville, Alabama to tell me
that she had heard on the morning news about a "Snake Fish",
that a fisherman had caught..

He removed the hook and threw it in the bottom of the boat, 4 hours later it was still alive.

This is the walk on land fish, that the terrorists were planting here and in Japan to run off the 'good' fish, so the mosquito would multiply and spread West Nile Virus.

It was the Okinawa group of terrorists.

The snakehead fish has been found in the Potomac in Northern Va. Will be interesting to see what the impact will be.

One of our biggest cemetaries (my brother and FIL are here) blew me away yesterday for they had a sign on the front saying enter at your own own risk warning West Nile Virus!
