Petition!
#Protect the #WildTrout of the #WildTrout Branch Potomac River in Maryland
The North Branch of the Potomac River, along the Maryland-West Virginia border, has the potential to become one of the greatest habitats for wild rainbow and brown trout on the East Coast. Some of us think it already is, with some 20-plus miles of excellent habitat. Brought back from the dead with smart fisheries management over the last four decades, the North Branch is now threatened with a flawed regulation practically unheard-of anywhere in the country: Bait fishing is allowed in waters managed for catch-and-release! This leads to a level of mortality that threatens the trout population and, worse, it encourages poaching, something that has become clearly evident to North Branch guides. With this petition, we are urging the Maryland Department of Natural Resources to do two things: Rescind the regulation allowing the use of bait and enforce the catch-and-release regulation to stop the poaching of reproducing rainbow and brown trout in the North Branch. It's time for the state of Maryland to recognize and fully protect this unique and excellent fishery.

“You do not collect €200”

Nothing bad! Just a silly "Monopoly" based joke, where they always tell you that, when you have to go to jail, you do not collect the money, that you usually get when you pass the "Start" section. 😉 It's something I've been saying to Koa a bit lately, when I feel like a big meany, when I have to crate him again... I know I am protecting him, and at times my stuff, and my skin, when I have to be the mean hoomum, and put him in the crate. Sometimes, Koa accepts the "jail-time", and sometimes, he will object... At the beginning, he had the most sad objections, as he would not just whine, but he would even go into little, but loud, howls... Those went through you in a sharp way, making you feel even worse for putting him in the crate. But... I know it's for his own good... Still... […]

Report finds Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim misused influence, harassed councillor Sean Orr
The report finds that Sim's criticism of Orr was "more a personal calling out" of the councillor, rather than trying to protect the Jewish community against hate crimes.
