    'Dear Lord,' the minister began, with arms extended toward heaven and a rapturous look on his upturned face. 'Without you, we are but dust ...'
    He would have continued but at that moment my very obedient daughter who was listening leaned over to me and asked quite audibly in her shrill little four-year old girl voice, 'Mom, what is butt dust?'

            What do you actually win? $$? or just trophies?

              Actually I won little colored ribbons worth about $1.50 each. But I spent $2 each fish entry fee and $40 postage to ship them there and more postage for those being shipped back. But I suppose the winners sold for more at the auction. I made $150 at the last show. And my reputation as a breeder is enhanced so that now my Fry are worth more. I am currently shipping one or two pair a week at $35/pair so next fall I can more than likely charge $45/pair.
              $10/pr times 50 pair is $500.00 I'm not getting rich off my hobby but it costs me less than playing golf or maintaining a nice boat.

                Top 20 breeders

                Points are in for the CBS show and I got enough to move up to 4th place and I'm closing the gap on 3rd. Two more show to go, the 30th in Florida and then the Nationals in Dallas.

                  Truth is the cement that holds the bricks and stones of a sane and civilized society together. Remove the former and the latter will crumble.
