The Pacific Northwestern salmon is hell bent on its quest to travel hundreds of miles upstream against the current, with a single purpose, sex of course, but also... life. |

Any fish can achieve failure and get caught. But a salmon fiasco is a disaster of epic propotions. I witness this "programming" and it makes me feel more alive because it didn't happen to me.

To make matters worse, young bears bulk up with salmon for a long winter' s sleep. |
