        Where's da map when you really want it ???


        If you're on the south side, (Clear Lake) don't miss Aqua Zoo
        '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?'

            I really hate Petsmart and Walmart, both have sold me diseased fish and I refuse to shop there now. I don't mean to be a snob, but I would rather pay a premium to a store that actually gives a damn about their livestock and to support employees that are interested in the hobby and giving you some customer service.

                Out by you is Ultimate Fish as someone mentioned. It is located in Spring off of 2920. Three miles or so west of I-45.

                    I'm with you there, dude. There was one guy working at the Petsmart closest to me who seemed to give a damn, but I went there on an off-day and caught some girl who chuckled when I pointed out to her dead fish in the tanks that I couldn't help but notice. I was trying to be helpful, but she didn't seem at all interested in doing a damn thing about it.

                    There was even one particularly worn loach corpse being feasted on by the other fish in the claustrophobically overcrowded tank, including the other loaches. I don't blame them. They looked underfed.
                    Trogdor was a man. Or maybe he was a dragon man. Or maybe he was just a dragon. But he was still TROGDOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOR!

                    You know, fish are great. I love my fish. But what I really want is a monkey.

                      I'm not sure, but I think the closest to Fish Gallery is Houston Aquatics. But personally, I will never buy livestock from them again. Equipment is decently priced, though, with some very good deals on standard tanks.
