been craving fish but too busy to go dive and get some. so i called my friend Derek as they were coming in from a day of fishing. i already know this boat has fish because Derek is the best fisherman i know. when everybody else isn’t catching fish, Derek is catching fish. and when everybody else is catching fish, Derek is catching more fish. that’s how good he is.

grabbed 3 travelly’s and 1 uku, stuck it in my backpack, jumped on the bike, and got home in a flash. can you believe my new bike gets 76 miles/gallon or 33 kilometers/liter? i rode around all day yesterday and spent only $3 on gas. thanks for the fish Derek!
