No news, I guess is good news

No news, I guess is good news. πŸ“°

I listen to the news from time to time, but less and less, because it seems like there is absolutely no news anymore to listen to — it’s like NPR is just vamping for time. About the only thing newsworthy is climate change, as the northeast floods and gets smoked out, and the partisan extremists pontificate about how wonderful they are. I guess the grafters can’t be bothered to come up with decent news stories to distract the public’s attention with anymore.

Round gobies, an invasive fish species, found in Hudson River south of Albany – newyorkupstate.com

DEC: Round gobies, an invasive fish species, found in Hudson River south of Albany – newyorkupstate.com

The Hudson River has a new invasive species – round gobies.

State Department of Environmental Conservation fisheries staff members captured four at two locations in the Hudson River approximately 12 and 25 miles downstream of the Troy dam during routine fish sampling on July 13 and 14. This marks the the first documented occurrence of this invasive fish in the river.

The small, bait-size fish is native to the Black and Caspian seas and was likely introduced by ballast water to the Great Lakes in the 1990s. It has the potential to cause ecological and recreational impacts.
