"Watkins woke to a nightmare. The ponds he had stocked with trophy-sized trout during the past three years were shimmering with the silver bellies of dead fish. More than 600 trout, some weighing up to 20 pounds, were dead. The waters had been poisoned in the night, and Watkins immediately blamed the slaughter on his neighbours, charging them with employing 'terrorist tactics' against him because they didn't like his tastes and style."
- Hunter S. Thompson, Kingdom of Fear: Loathsome Secrets of a Star-Crossed Child in the Final Days of the American Century
Oh, and in other news, I have just heard that the bathroom is inundated with a 1/4 inch of water from when the bathtub overflowed. Tree roots have grown into my sewer drain pipe and blocked it completely - this happened a few years ago, on Thanksgiving weekend yet - it will be easier this time (http://ltmurnau.livejournal.com/18132.html et seq). RotoRooter, bless their hearts, are coming out in a few hours they say. But meanwhile I told Lianne to siphon the water out of the tub with a hose. Welcome home, dear!
[EDIT: The Sewer Guy showed up really quickly, cleared the jam both ways, and water is flowing freely and where it is supposed to go. Sigh.]
