Good day today. The hosting outfit that holds my sites contacted me and offered a bit of a discount as a sort of loyalty thing as I've been with them since 2010. For the next 12 months my billing just went from $359.40/year to $179.70/year.

All right. The next round's on you!

Was actually searching for something quite different but went on a tangent which is quite common with me and found the following. Would be an awesome fish if you happened to have a tank large enough for a 40 inch fish; I'd say a bare minimum of 500 gallons but could possibly be in a 2-3 hundred gallon just due to its sort of weird way of surviving and its natural environment. Its being a lung fish could also help allow for a smaller thank and by smaller I'm still talking a few hundred gallon.

This was from a listing for the following search... Don't ask why I ended up with this search tern but then I don't know how I do a lot of things I do.

This would be the number 17 in the listing of fish with domed heads. This was found with a search for "cichlid with a big domed head". The link I'll put at the bottom is worth a look; 35 different fish with domed and/or elongated heads. Some interesting stuff! Actually the page gives more detail as to each species then the copy I'm inserting next.

I have handled African lungfish that were destined for public aquariums. They are phenomenal creatures - strong, but uuuuggggglllllyyyy. They probably thought the same of me.

They kind of remind me of ling (Lota Lota) in their appearance, though not at all in their lifestyle.

I was going through some old videos kids music on my system and sometimes can totally amaze.

@WhistlingBadger How would you like some of these young kids in your school band?

Let's start with an 8 year old doing some flamenco guitar. This kid is off the wall!

And how about some Pink Floyd by a 9 year old doing Comfortably Numb?
