creek of 1,000 eels
swimming in the lake was always a little dicey if you didn't like invasive species. there were razor clams, blue-green algae, and american eels streaming out of the tributaries, ready to rub their slimey bodies against your water-treading calves. but not so fast..... seems the eels have been dying off suddenly and it's a mystery. as it turns out, they're fascinating creatures. i discovered this after briefly cruising thru a review of "the book of eels" (european eels, in this case). i love the title, it sounds so biblical.... simultaneous righteous and evil connotations. who doesn't love a slippery dichotomy? PS this house is on one of those tributaries.
