re: #325 poteen

I grew up in the 60s on the Illinois river. We had fish fries every Friday.
What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.

The river here in Illinois are far cleaner now. Provided you don’t do it too often, It’s even safe to eat fish caught in the Chicago River nowadays. No joking, the Chicago Tribune had some caught and tested. And yes, the reporters then cooked and ate the other fish that were caught. The were bluegills, as I remember. Some PETA asshole got pissy about it of course.
