James McMurtry on dead fish on I-40 in NC

[Roland99]

There are reports of fish dying from being stranded on I-40 in North Carolina when the flood waters receded. I would argue that these fish didn't die from stranding, they were dead already when the water went down or they wouldn't have wound up way up on the road. Live fish would have swam down into the ditch, following the water as it sought its level. I've found a lot of fish bones after floods, but always in low places that eventually dried up. No one seems to be asking about what killed all those fish. It could be useful for the people who had to wade around in that water to know what killed the fish.

A musician gets it. An aware musician tho. But still.

The M$M never would ask.
