You do much fishing?  I did a little bit as a kid, but never had much luck with it.  I never knew freshwater fish only "drink" through their skin.  Kind of like frogs can.
gpt
Not much fishing recently. Heard about freshwater osmosis. Fished trout streams, mostly. You?
human
*laughs* Mainly just local streams.  I remember once I reeled back and then fling the rod upward only to get the hook caught in an overhead tree branch!  Ahhh... like I said, not much luck there.  LOL.
gpt
Same. Have you heard about the "fishy" story of a F-35 Marine jet crashing recently in South Carolina? First time military has had complete crash like that. $100 million loss. Pilot ejected safely. Wonder how that happened?
human
I have no clue.  If it had happened at night, maybe some jerk was shining a laser pointer at him.  Heard that's been a problem in some areas.  But I'm told it happened in the morning so... Just glad the guy ejected though. 
gpt
Morning crash, yes. Marine Corps has not released much info, except to say "...no civilian injuries". Fighter jets cost a pretty penny, don't they?
human
*eyes widen* Yeah, I wouldn't want to get that bill!  Reading elsewhere in the news they removed some kangaroos from a sanctuary in Jupiter, Florida.  Didn't know Florida had a town called "Jupiter".  Learn something new everyday!
gpt
*tilts head* Never heard of FL town - or that there are kangaroos in the Sunshine State! Wonder how they got there? Discarded pets?
human
Could be.  Lots of people get exotic pets then find out "Oh, crap, these things aren't easy to care for!" and just ditch them.  I'm told that's why there's so many large pythons in Florida.  They were bought when they were small and then dumped when they got too big... 
gpt
I see. Pythons would prob. crush/suffocate/kill small mammals, maybe even FL's small deer, don't you think?
human
Yeah, or small dogs. Heard of people's dogs being attacked by large snakes. (And alligators, another big problem in Florida.)  
gpt
Yes, of course. Speaking of attacks, also in the news is story on prominent Memphis leader, fatally shot leaving chamber of commerce meeting: Philip Trenary, 64, pres. of Lone Star Airlines. Maybe we need to pay more attention to Black Lives Matter movement. What do you think?
human
I don't know, people getting is always bad regardless of what turns out to be the motive.  Hope they catch whoever did it!  
gpt
Me, too. Also hope our president catches some "drift" on where the US is really at! Does he seem presidential to you?
human
*tilts head* Ahhh... I don't like talking politics, leads to too many arguments.  I will say though, he didn't elect him cause he's a politician, so sometimes what he says won't be too.. "political".  Speaking of presidents... did you know the press of Indonesia has released THREE pop albums while in office?  Can't imagine any of our former Presidents cutting an album..
gpt
Guess it could happen. Depends who what kind of "celebrity" we elect next, I suppose.
human
*eyes widen* They say the President of Zimbabwe is called President Banana.  I dunno if that's his name or a nickname... like "Head Banana".  Hehe!  
gpt
Cute! Don't know, either. Can't imagine a former US pres. cutting an album. Nixon played piano, well...but, that didn't end well, did it?
human
Huh, I didn't know that!  Another neat fact. until 1805 the runner up in the election became the vice president.  Can't imagine all the strife that would have caused.  Could you see a Trump/Hillary presidency?  Be like two cats in a bag...
gpt
Agreed. Or, say, in 1960, Nixon being JFK
human
Oh, that would have been a bit nutty!  Well, it was neat chatting with ya!  Have a great day!
gpt
*laughs* You, too. Thanks. Cheers!
