Couldn't sleep last night. It was well after 2:30 before I got any reasonable kind of sleep. I don't know why. Didn't seem like there was that much going through my head. Wasn't that hot.
That is sad. It reminds me of another fish story posted somewhere on my journal this week from a young man in England. He is taking care of his neighbor's pond while they are on holiday and two of the pond inhabitants were sturgeon. Their pump went out and one of them died in the heat. Now they have a hose rigged up over the fences, from their house, trying to spash enough water in the pond to aerate it enough so the remaining sturgeon and the carp won't die as well.
He posted pictures, but not of THE sturgeon, since it was dead.. but he did describe it as it lay on the bank. Someone pointed out that sturgeon are ocean fish.. and as such were never going to survive in a fresh water pond for long.. but that doesn't make sense that they have been there for several months at least. The entry is from last week or so in turkdiddler's Journal if you are interested.
Only two feet long? I wonder if that's standard for the european variety. My dad has seen them in the Wisconsin river, head on one side and tail on the other side of his canoe.
