Fish Ponds, Beymer Park, Lakin KS, May 3, 2010
Catfish dinner
The caretaker saw me out with my camera this morning. He had a couple pictures to show me and a story to go with them. It seems there are a couple of wily old catfish in the next pond over. Were in there when he took on the job 15 years ago. They are still there. About 5 feet long now. Wily as ever. Not tempted by anything those guys in hats throw at them.
I was honored to see them this afternoon, drifting around. Of course I didn't have my camera along. Wily old buggers.

The Value of Notebooks
I write down things that surprise me in notebooks. I never actually get around to reading them and using what I've written, but I do tend to reproduce the same thoughts later. So the main value of notebooks may be what writing things down leaves in your head.
