Wow. Cool story.

See how it happens here:

It's always fun to mess with the salesmen in electronic stores.

I remember going into a Radio Shack back in the 80's (loved it back then, you had all the stuff to make electronic projects or a bomb right off the shelf) and asking the salesman:

Me: "You got any variable frequency oscillators?"

Salesman: "Aren't those things illegal?"

LOL!

I don't buy it. This is just another attempt by science to explain away a miracle.

A video of the phenomenon is a strong way to describe something that is clearly largely CGI and the rest staged. Still, makes sense to me.

That poor guy. Party foul, fish, party foul!

If you read it carefully, there is no significant water for a huge distance. Even if it was a waterspout of some type, the premise is that the storm carried the fish hundreds of miles before depositing them??

I'm always finding dead sea life on my lawn. However, it's usually the result of fighting between the bald eagles, osprey and seagulls. I once had an somewhat unpleasant near miss with a still alive eel while I was on the lawn tractor.

I was doing some furniture browsing at Leons earlier and I've gotta say, they've learnt something. They used to "Futureshop" the customer as soon as you walked through the door, then various salespeople would continue to bother you as you browsed. Today, a guy simply said, "Hello" and "if you need anything, let me know" and nobody else bothered me while browsing through the store. Instead of making a beeline to the door like I used to, now I feel like I can actually browse around in peace until I need to ask a question.
