Trust me you can have this one...but the fish will not live through the shipping.

On of your fellow postal employees almost made me have a lousy xmas...or no xmas. Those jeeps are brutal. This woman pulled over to the right and then proceeded to make a u turn into me...in the middle of the street-no intersection. Creative driving.

A long time ago, back in the single years, I moved into a house and found a half-dozen empty aquariums in back. Big ones. The landlord didn't mind, and that set off the fishiest period in a life where tropical fish have usually been present in one form or another. Set 'em up in the living room. Great alternative to TV; the characters are more interesting and the dialogue is better.

Only two now, a 50 gallon with a whole mob of small fish and a 75 with some big Oscars and a few others. The kids like to go out to the stream and net a bunch of guppies, throw 'em in the tank and watch the Oscars chew 'em up. Barbaric, I suppose, but a good introduction to the way of the world.
