I was having a stupid dream this morning that I thought I really needed to wait and see how it played out.  My life depended on it.  So yeah, it ended up with me sitting on the toilet for 30 minutes.  Yeah.  Great dream.

Finally got out to run at 9:30am.  I ran along the RWCD Canal again.  Saw lots of kois and amirs.  I was surprised to see so many because they usually they like to hide in the shade when it gets hot.  But maybe the heat causes the algae and moss to grow, so it's prime feeding time.

Koi in the canal? Is that a new municipal program or did somebody dump their fish tank? Good running by the way.

RWCD stocks their canal with them. One of them is supposed to eat the algae and the other the moss. They do a great job. They used to spend tons of money on magnacide which would kill everything in the canal.

And that's why nobody is allowed to fish in the canal. When I worked there I had to chase a few people off.

Oh joi! Ahoy, koi! Yep, the zanjeros are really staying on top of things lately.

Nice run Burt. Phoenix at 9:30 am sounds hot.

Night fishing is the key, when the RWCD storm troopers are sleeping.

Oh Flat. Flat, Flat, Flat, Flat, Flat. The zanjero never sleeps.
