Sue Kane 5/12/2019 3:58 PMI read about waste management and that led me to ask questions about why they were starting to not accept glass in their recycling efforts. We'll see what they have to say! -

Sue Kane 5/10/2019 12:55 PMToday I learned that salmon need water at a certain temperature to survive and there is not a lot of "wiggle room". Cold water has more CO2 in it. When fish are in warm water, it's like altitude sickness for us.-
Jeanne Poirier 5/10/2019 8:56 PMThank you for this understanding - though it makes me want to cry. . .
