Say Dave, are the danish much different from the dutch?

Sometime I think that radio and TV news programs should stick to reading quotes or paraphrasing. CBC is bad for interviewing people who speak
foreign languages and having a commentator speaking over the
interviewee.-a Beats me why they would be playing back something in
French or Hungarian while their newsreader is speaking in English over
them.

Been there. Done that. I'm a closed captions kind of guy. Why do fresh Datelines and 20/20s suck so bad with closed captions? There ought to be
a law!

Anything "live" is delayed, sometimes long time, before it hits the
screen. I imagine it is going through a speech to text program, thus
the delay.

Right now I'm watching a recorded show put together in an editing room
and the CC is perfect.

Don't dismiss the effect of fish and birds on agriculture. The property
behind us used to he owned by the Jockey Club and they used to get the
sand for their track there. Many years ago they came in and took out
about 100 loads of dirt and turned a hill into a hole. It was on high
ground and there was no drain into it. It would accumulate water and
over the summer it would soak into the ground or evaporate. A year or
two after that excavation We were back there after the pond had dried up
and there was a fish skeleton at the lowest point.

A few years later the property was purchased by a guy who was in the
tree nursery business. He did some massive landscaping back there. I
told him about the mystery of the dried up pond and the fish. He said
that Great Blue Herons are known to stock ponds with fish.

Smoke favors this recipe.

Pollock? I certainly love those little kippered herrings.

A bit too intense, smoked whitefish is mild enough.
