#1 I hope this makes at least one environmentalist say "that damn pupfish!" It might open their minds just a teensy little bit.

#2 The National Park Service is worried about environmental consequences...

NPS is not worried about the pending government economic consequences when the debt hits with the SS/Medicare entitlements destroying the national budget. Priorities probably will mean the pupfish might survive but the NPS will be looking at its own version of the desert. The pupfish can eventually be cloned. Bureaucratic offices will likely be lopped off whole.

#5 Gotta look out for those pupfish, boys!

Pupfish Boys would be a good name for a band.

#9 kinda reminds me of the spotted owl escapades in Oregon. Fun to see this squabbling over these pupfish and water issues. Where's the popcorn!

Good point gromky.

#10 Extra butter, or parmesan, Jan?

Or perhaps both? I'm feeling particularly generous tonight. :-D
