[ham] [Rhodes22-list] Stan, will the real paint stand up?

[Wally Buck]

Rummy,

Those pesky Zebra Mussels are spreading beyond the Great Lakes. Although not 
a big problem yet on the TN River, they are starting to show up. We get 
quite a bit of boat traffic from people who cruise from the Great Lakes and 
the mussels travel down with them.

It would be nice if Zebra Mussels tasted good. It never seems to work out 
that way though.
