like tropical fish out of water

my 2007 nanowrimo novel focuses--in an indirect and rather abstract way--on the news off the day. so here are the news of the day, for those who didn't catch it.

A tropical fish that lives in mangrove swamps across the Americas can survive out of water for months at a time, similar to how animals adapted to land millions of years ago, a new study shows.

as for the nano--i'm a bit behind, but working daily and am happy with the process.

time to log off and do another 1000.
