As they do in SE Ohio.
There are no salmon in Ohio, but the Salmon and the Trout are brothers and
I spent most of my life in Pennsylvania and New York living amongst them.
When I speak of upstream and downstream, I speak not only of the river in
which the trout live, but the one in which you and I live as well. For
me, Andrew, and At, and anyonelsewho's interested, time is not linear. My
perception of it may be (my hair gets only greyer, not blacker, my belly
bigger, not harder) but my knowledge of it isn't. All who've lived and
thought before me are here and now and here and now is then and then. We
come back to spawn in the stream of time, come back to think in the stream
of consciousness. It is no more complex than a Trappist monk being
electrocuted by a Bhuddist space heater, no simpler than the history of an
egg.

Where the waters are clean enough for mayflies, the trout are thicker and
the cycle of the collecting song assumes the complexity of a twelve bar
blues song and a twelve pack of beer.
