Kate, I think I may have made a comment during the auction about Axelrod's "Dead Fish Pictures" in his books. I certainly hope that he does not use "Dead Hamster Pictures" in his upcoming book. Thanks for the links to the newsarticles....I found them very entertaining. I see that Paul Loiselle still thinks highly of Axelrod. Paul came to Seattle a number of years ago to present to our club and stayed at our house. During his stay he had no issue with letting us know about his feelings relative to Axelrod.....so, the history goes way back as Paul stayed at our house in the late 80's if I remember correctly.

Am I the only one who didn't know he had been indicted on tax fraud but fled to Cuba in his yacht? As I recall at least one member poking fun at his books at an auction I decided to spread the news... just in case you like I do not watch TV to learn about semi current events. Plus the third article says fish related email groups are supposed to be "abuzz" so I am abuzzin. http://edition.cnn.com/2004/US/Northeast/04/26/american.fugitive.ap/ http://www.wjla.com/news/stories/0504/143960.html http://www.nj.com/news/ledger/index.ssf?/base/news-14/10828822658930.xml I hope they don't deport him before he finishes his new book on hamsters! In the third article the author suggests that we affectionately call eachother "fish heads", often. Personally I thought those were the guys who followed the band Phish, I prefer to be addressed by the more definitive term "fish geek" which I think pretty well covers me in a nutshell. Have a good monday, and remember, it's a good day when you didn't flee to cuba to write a book on hamsters! Any monday is better than that.
