Give you a call tonight - got a question about designing a boat. Gonna
be around?

Thinking Tuesday or Wednesday - interested? Run around the Bay again
or you want to fish Hackett's? We could go to Niantic and fish the
out flow from the power plant.


Now wait just a freakin minute, Tom.

You should carefully consider the global consequences of hauling fish
out of the discharge from your power plant.

It must have occured to you that the water from the power plant is
probably a couple of degrees warmer, at least, than the water in the
rest of the bay. Those fish serve a valuable ecologicial function-
they absorb some of those exhausted btu's, thereby reducing the carbon
footprint of your power plant. Just think of those poor polar bears,
swimming miles and miles between scrawny little icebergs and searching
in vain for food. High price to pay for a fish dinner. :-)
