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

Very nice µ-fiction story, Elizabeth.

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!
