    Perhaps he should let his Capt'n fish tomorrow. Most any catch should be better than this.

    Very nice µ-fiction story, Elizabeth.

    Cleanliness may be important but food would have been more welcome I'm sure. ;)

    Elizabeth,
    This was one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind when I first saw this week's pic...but then went in a totally different direction! Loved your dialog...and cleanliness is good but a full tummy is better!
