ASIAN CARP ATTACK (Sunday Scribblings)

Have you taken a boat ride down the Nishnabotna River lately? Talk about a shark attack. What about the Asian carp attack? Those fish can fly.
It's dangerous. It's funny. It's absurd. In some spots, there were hundreds of them jumping at once. One pounds you in the back, one socks you in the jaw, one slams you in the head. The boat is full. They flop on your shoes and slap your legs. If you don't get injured, you get slimed and have scales in your hair. Those jokers can weigh up to 50 pounds. If one that big hit you, it would knock you out of the boat.
I read these fish were brought in here to use to clean algae in commercial fish farms and sewage treatment plants. Due to releases or escapes caused by the floods, they have spread. Spread? They've taken over. This is one time the cure is worse than the disease.
So if you want some excitement, take a boat ride on the Nishna. If you were a swim suit, wear an old one. If you wear a suit of armor, it would be WISE not to fall in.
