A friend of mine who worked in a fish plant many years ago saw a large bulg=
e in the belly of one codfish. Upon investigation it turned out that the c=
odfish had eaten a dovekie. This is the first occurence that I've heard of=
this.

Hi Donna and All
This story reminds me of years ago when the
ice fishing for pickerel first started. A friend wanted
to try it so we planned to go one cold morning.
Before we left I checked my mouse trap in the basement
and had caught a mouse. So I put it in a plastic bag and put
it in my pocket. and forgot it was there.
While we were fishing a fellow came around doing a survey of
what we were using for bait. I remembered the mouse and quickly
put it on my hook and down the hole.
He came to me and asked what I was using. A mouse I said - A what?
he answered I said Une souris! - I understand English he said and when
I showed him the wet mouse on the hook I though he would barf!
I'll not eat any fish from this lake he said as he stomped off!
Have an enjoyable week!
Paul

My mother=92s gray jays are still coming to the yard regularly for food. T=
hey are believed to be nesting nearby.
On Friday, the cat caught a mouse, possibly its first one (it=92s a young c=

le later, my mother saw a gray jay flying toward the woods with a large pie=

well that day.
